“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” President Barack Obama felt compelled to toss into the spreading flames of divisiveness.Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that ginning up the mob has certain advantages those who crave control can rely on.
Curiously, as Obama’s political base in "stand your ground"-free Chicago prepares for a Trayvon Martin march today, the names of last weekend’s 10 dead/49 wounded seem destined for obscurity. Evidently these lacked an important exploitable factor. [More]

some of the relevant facts (if this article is to be believed, and it DOES provide sources) are not at all as the media has presented them.
With all the rush to judgment in this case, it's interesting that we have heard little about this: http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-03-04/news/31122324_1_white-boy-fire-tv-station

ReplyDeleteGeorge Zimmerman is clearly a piece of trash. That obviously doesn't make the anti-gun rights talk that always follows right.
ReplyDeleteIts psycho cowboy trash like Zimmerman who make the cause of protecting the 2nd amendment that much more difficult.
RIP Trayvon Martin. I have no problem with what the President said about him and dont see it as divisive. Obama sucks overall but not literally everything he says is wrong.
Disagree with most of your post, Anonymous. Mr. Zimmerman may or may NOT be "a piece of trash". He is clearly somebody that actually CARES about his neighborhood, and is willing to get out there and address the problems. If the sewage in "Law Enforcement" bothered to honor their oath instead of swilling coffee, sucking donuts, and groveling before their Masters, there would not be a NEED for George Zimmermans. Or if the Martins had bothered to raise a decent citizen instead of the sewage they appear to have foisted upon the world. But we got what we got, and I thank God that there are people like George Zimmerman in this world.
ReplyDeleteMark, the hypocrisy is clear in your comments. You are so quick to judge Trayvon Martin and his parents but not willing to judge Zimmerman, when we know more about him and his past in pretending to be a cop and harrassing people than we know of Trayvon Martins past.
ReplyDeleteThat you "thank God" for George Zimmerman shows you havent been actually following the facts of the story that have come out so far. Zimmerman wasn't protecting his neighborhood, he was looking for fights. Check his record. Now whats Trayvons record? Why do you call him "sewage"? I can guess why but would like to hear your reason.

above. Important context:
In Greece, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester. Roderick Scott, a black man, shot and killed an unarmed white teen, Christopher Cervini, whom he believed was burglarizing a neighbor's car, with a licensed .40 cal. handgun.
There are many similarities between the Scott-Cervini case and the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case in Florida. In both cases, there had been a spate of criminal activity in the neighborhood. In both cases, the shooters called 911 to report suspicious activity, yet chose to confront the unarmed suspects outside their residence and off their own property prior to the arrival of the police. In both cases, the shooters claimed that they felt threatened, and fired in self-defense. In both cases, local law enforcement applied relevant state law.
Unlike Florida, New York does not have a "stand your ground" law. New York law allows a person to use deadly force to defend his residence from home invasion only as a last resort. It does not allow the use of deadly force to prevent a property crime, and requires retreat if possible. Thus, while Zimmerman was not arrested under Florida law, Scott was tried for manslaughter.
New York law does allow a person to use deadly force anywhere, including off his own property, if he feels that his life is in imminent danger and retreat is not possible. Despite the fact that he left his own property, confronted, and shot dead an unarmed white person thought to be committing a petty property crime, Scott was acquitted by a majority-white jury after claiming that the Cervini charged at him, putting him in imminent fear of his life.

the decision not to charge George
Zimmerman is correct; part of a
longer strategy to undermine the
