Better Headlines: George Zimmerman Arrested

New York Post: MURDER Trayvon Killer Arrested, Charged

New York Daily News:  After 45 days, George Zimmerman is finally charged with the 2nd-degree murder of Trayvon Martin. Now he faces LIFE.

 

 No story grabbed the country faster and more persistently this year than the George Zimmerman -Trayvon Martin Story.  After the self appointed neighborhood watch captain shot and killed teenaged Trayvon last month, a national debate broke out about whether the Sanford, Florida police department’s should arrest Zimmerman.  Now, over six weeks after the shooting, Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder and arrested.  The headlines in the New York Post and Daily News are weird, and long.  And with all of the insanity that has taken place since this story became national news, there should be better headlines.  Here are some of ours:

  • Will Skittles Lead To Acquittals!?
  • Neighborhood Gotch..You
  • Justice For The Boyz In The Hoodies
  • Will Florida Zimmer Down Now!?
  • Shoot First. Question Killer 6 Weeks Later.

  • George Zimmerman. You’re Going To Like The Way You Look…In Prison.
