Where's the Justice Now? Media Hushed on Same Situation Roles Reversed

Well it appears that the media networks are staying hush, hush over the fact that a black man claiming self defense shot and killed an unarmed mentally handicapped Hispanic man walking his dog in Arizona.  Why is it that the media is all over the Travon Martin case but yet this young Hispanic man named Daniel Adkins yields no media coverage?  Reverse the rolls and it's just not that important I guess.  See this is what is wrong with this country.  Different standards for different people.  I'm sorry, if Zimmerman is facing prosecution then so should this UN-Named black man that shot and killed Daniel Adkins.  It's only fair that if one community is demanding action and the government is stepping in to provide that action that the same action be given to this UN-Named black man.  Zimmerman in jail waiting prosecution then put the Black man in Arizona in jail to await prosecution.  I don't care if they are found guilty or innocent but at least keep the same standards for the same situation.  Now why don't we all check out the article that I found on the situation and see what we think of this.

Paging Obama, Holder, and Sharpton: Black Man Shoots Unarmed Hispanic Man in Arizona, Claims ‘Self Defense’

Where’s the ‘justice’, now?
In a case that is being compared to the Trayvon Martin shooting, a black man who shot and killed an unarmed man outside an Arizona restaurant is claiming self-defense.
On Tuesday, April 3, 2012, around 7:30 p.m., 29-year-old Daniel Adkins, who appears to be a white male Hispanic, was killed outside a Laveen, Arizona, Taco Bell at 7233 South 51st Avenue, near Baseline Road, said Phoenix police.
Authorities said the shooter, a 22-year-old black man, was pulling out of the Taco Bell drive thru when he crossed paths with Adkins, who was walking his dog on the sidewalk.
One report indicates Adkins struck the driver’s vehicle with a bat or a metal pole after he and the driver exchanged words.
It’s unclear if investigators found a weapon at the scene.
However, an independent eyewitness said Adkins swung his fist in the direction of the driver several times, according to various local news sources.
Like Florida, Arizona has a “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows a “victim” to use deadly force when faced with a life or death confrontation.
Thus far, the shooter has not been arrested or charged with a crime.
Adkins’ family members are calling for justice.http://www.chicagonewsreport.com/2012/04/daniel-adkins-killer-claims-self.html
The Adkins family shouldn’t hold their breath. Daniel doesn’t look like he could be Obama’s son.


I'm sorry but I feel that the same action should be taken in both cases. I mean come on what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and the Media really needs to get this case on the world wide stage and not keep it hidden in cover up.
