Justice for Trayvon....... By now it's as familiar as a commercial jingle for dish soap or some other product that plays on a continuous loop in your head, "Hey Culligan Man" . It's also just as meaningless. In another time and place, justice would have been served at the conclusion of the Zimmerman trial. But the game has changed, Lady justice has a cheese cloth blindfold these days. She can see right through that sucker. Justice is no longer blind and a not guilty verdict just means round one didn't go your way. The media did everything possible to convict George Zimmerman in the court of public opinion. They edited 911 tapes, they called him white and when that proved wrong, they made up a whole new term, White Hispanic. They ran 5 year old photos of a chubby cheeked 12 year old Trayvon. They painted a picture that would have you thinking young Tray was skipping home in Smurf Pajamas and a baby bonnet. Even President Obama jumped into the fray, proclaiming Trayvon to be the son he never had.
Despite all of that, the state couldn't get a conviction.
In a sane and just world a not guilty verdict would have been the last word in the Zimmerman case. Never mind that Zimmerman is a marked man. Put aside all of the death threats, Black Panther bounties, and the inevitable civil lawsuit. In a sane world, but not in our world.
No sooner than the verdict was read, the bell for round 2 rang. The Justice Department is considering charges against Zimmerman, at the urging of esteemed civil rights folks like Al and the right reverend Jackson. The NAACP, and pretty near every liberal pundit who could get on a Sunday morning news show. The seemingly conflicting twin mantras have been repeated ad nauseum. Remain calm. Justice wasnt served. Justice for Trayvon.
The message will become clearer over the next week or two. Here's the message stripped of all the PC bull shit. Bring federal charges against George Zimmerman or we will burn this mother fucker to the ground.
40 black people shot by black men in Chicago over the 4th of July weekend .
Justice for Trayvon.
Half a dozen black on black murders here in Kansas City over the past 10 days.
Justice for Trayvon.
The leading cause of death for young black males is young black males.
Justice for Trayvon.
Make no mistake, the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman saga has nothing to do with justice. It has everything to do with payback. From Jim Crow to Bull Connor. In the minds eye of every current civil rights pimp, the Sharptons and Jacksons, the liberal left media, and all the way to the U S Justice dept. and the White House, it's time for a reckoning, setting right the wrongs that happened before most of us were born.
My advice to Zimmerman. Visit your mothers people in Peru. Make it a permanent vacation.
BRAVO!!! Thank you for having the guts to tell it like it is. The liberal news media mercilessly twisted this story, just like they do everything else.
ReplyDeleteEven President Barry had to put his two-cents worth of racist views into it.
IF the Dept of Justice files a criminal case, we will have another uncivil war in this country. It will include things like martial law and that won't go over very well.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that in all my many years, I have never seen the country in the sorry state that it is in today. It's not just one thing. It's everything.
Superb writing! Your articulated what is happening in the wake of the Zimmerman acquittal. What you said, we should be hearing that from the news media but I am only seeing this realism in excellent blogs like this one. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDear MM: Well, we are sitting around waiting to see the next chapter in this national disaster. One thing is certain: Most of the national press corps deserves what I will call "The Atlanta Race Riot of 1906 Award for Criminally Irresponsible Behavior By Journalists." The national media, instead of seeking to calm public passions, repeatedly "dumped fuel of the fire" of what was already an explosive situation. Hopefully, we will avoid a wave of race riots over the Trayvon Martin tragedy--but that does not mean that there will be no damage done by this media irresponsibility. Every cop in America has watched this trial and drawn the appropriate conclusion: In modern American the PC Police are so strong that if you are accused of racism don't expect even a pretense of due process. And, as the police did in NYC after Tawana Brawley in 1987-1989, in Cincinnati after the riots of May 2001, in Prince George's County after the Stephanie Mohr Case of 2001, and in KCMO after the Salva case of 2007-2008 out of sheer self-survival the cops will abandon doing their jobs in black neighborhoods all over the country. Nature abhores a vacume, so the gangs and the criminal elements wiil take over these neighborhoods and crime wiil explode. Take care!! Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
ReplyDeleteAn innocent young black man, not even 17 years old (check it out), goes out for Skittles and a Coke, gets followed, tailed, by another citizen--who just happens to keep and carry a gun. Young black man gets accosted by said follower and ends up shot and killed.
ReplyDeleteAnd you defend the shooter.
Nice.
Quite a group you have here.
Y'all got a "two-fer" on this one: black man killed and shooter found "innocent", he gets off the hook.
Congratulations.
Yep.
ReplyDeleteEven the jury says they both made fucked up decisions that night.
His death wasn’t about race, guns, or your pet issue. It was about misjudgment and overreaction—exactly what we’re doing now to the verdict.

Martin wasn't some precocious youth, he was a teen who like to fight. He could have run home but chose to confront. He profiled Zimmerman, the "crazy ass Cracker".
Zimmerman was a wanna-be-cop who probably had noble intentions. He displayed poor judgment and had inadequate training to do police work. He was profiling "punks" which include all races.
The dispatcher didn't tell him to stay in the car, her reply was ambiguous.
Not guilty does not mean Zimmerman was innocent. He was certainly guilty of using bad judgement.
An of course MO write it is open season on black men. But he fails to notice it is primarily blacks men killing black men.
The poor innocent black kid shot a three-year-old baby in the face. If that were your baby, how would you feel? Thank God my husband and I are not the only ones thinking this way. I think our daughter has disowned us.
ReplyDeletesomeone tell me where is the hispanic community?? why wont they stand behind a young man that was found not guilty in a court of law??? why arent there white people standing up and demanding that the black panthers be arrested for putting a $10,000 bounty on George Zimmermans head and marching and making statements to the media about honoring the NOT GUILTY VERDICT
ReplyDeleteThere is a book out now by Gina McGill that includes evidence the prosecutor did not share with the jurors that shows Zimmerman committed first degree murder. She proves that the State of Florida threw the case. ginamcgill.com
