Harlem protesters rally in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin killing.

Early Monday, about 200 remaining protesters crossed from Harlem to the Bronx, where they assembled peacefully on the steps of the Bronx County Courthouse in a moment of silence for Trayvon.
A day after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of killing 17-year-old Trayvon, politicians, preachers and protesters seemed united in the belief that justice was denied.

Zimmerman is Not Guilty — What About the Media?
Posted: July 14, 2013 in Culture, Featured, Media, Political Opinion

Not Guilty

There are certain things polite people are not supposed to say out loud, and certainly not in public. I thought of this while listening to what passes for television analysis after the George Zimmerman verdict came in.

First, let’s acknowledge that Trayvon Martin’s death is a tragedy. I’ll go so far as to say it was a tragedy that should never have happened. I think George Zimmerman, the “wannabe cop,” was too vigilant that night.

I also think George Zimmerman profiled Trayvon Martin – and profiled him because he was a young black man in a predominantly white neighborhood. But what polite people don’t do in public is talk about why George Zimmerman was suspicious of 17-year old Trayvon Martin.

The morning after the verdict came in, Ben Jealous, who heads the NAACP, told Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation that, “Too many people in our country use color as grounds for suspicion.”

He’s right. But what he didn’t get into is that they do it for a reason. And Bob Schieffer, a white man from Texas, wasn’t about to press the head of the NAACP about why skin color might be grounds for suspicion.

The sad fact is that while African Americans make up only about 12 or 13 percent of the population, and young black men considerably less than that, they commit a disproportionate amount of crime. This is no secret. Everybody knows it’s true, even anchormen and other white liberals. So when Zimmerman saw this black kid in his mostly white, gated community, he did some quick, reflexive calculations — and thought the boy might be up to no good. Yes, he did use color as a ground for suspicion.

That doesn’t make Trayvon Martin a criminal, of course, but it also doesn’t make George Zimmerman a racist. He had the same thoughts about Trayvon Martin that most of us would have had, whether we admit it or not.

If I were black I wouldn’t like this stereotyping. I’d say Trayvon Martin had as much right to be inside the gates of that community as George Zimmerman did. He shouldn’t have been looked upon as a potential criminal.

But he was looked upon with suspicion because, as painful as it is to acknowledge, he looked like too many other black kids in hoodies who do bad things. Black people know this better than anyone else. They’re the victims of most black crime. Remember what Jesse Jackson said several years back. “There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Does that make the Reverend Jackson a racist – or a realist?

Television host Tavis Smiley, who also is black, was also on television Sunday morning. He told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week, “For many Americans [the verdict] is another piece of evidence of the incontrovertible contempt that this nation often shows and displays for black men.”

Stephanopoulos, being a polite white liberal man, of course didn’t say, “Black men are doing a pretty good job of showing incontrovertible contempt for each other in our nation. Have you checked the crime statistics for Chicago on any given weekend? The Ku Klux Klan isn’t killing those young black men. Black thugs are.”

So-called civil rights leaders, like Al Sharpton, painted a picture of a black teenager walking home and being attacked by a white vigilante for absolutely no reason except that the boy was black – and, of course, because the shooter was sort of white. If Sharpton and the others talked about the fight that immediately led up to the shooting, I missed it. Instead, they preferred to peddle a fairy tale version of what happened. They left out the ugly stuff – that there was plenty of reason to believe Trayvon Martin was on top of George Zimmerman pummeling his head into the concrete sidewalk right before Zimmerman fired his gun. And, of course, none of the mostly white, mostly liberal anchors, said, “Hold on, you’re leaving something very important out of your story.”

This is what is known as showing good racial manners. It’s how white people behave to show that they’re not bigots like all those other white people. Never mind that treating black people like delicate flowers is a kind of soft bigotry all by itself. All that matters is that white people – white liberals, mostly – feel better … about themselves.

Another recurring theme coming from liberal analysts, black and white, after the verdict was that in America we don’t put the same value on black lives as we do on white lives. That’s certainly true when it comes to the liberal media.

Every weekend in big cities across America numerous black kids shoot and often kill each other. None of these stories get very much national media attention and none of them get wall-to-wall TV coverage the way the Zimmerman trial did. Is this because liberal white journalists don’t put the same value on black lives as they do on white lives? It sure looks that way.

Let’s end by stating the obvious: The single biggest reason the trial got so much attention is because it played into a narrative, a false one to be sure, but one that many blacks and many white liberals love to perpetuate. It’s the Great American Drama about how white people get away with not only oppressing black people, but even get away with killing them. Isn’t that what Tavis Smiley meant when he said, ““For many Americans [the verdict] is another piece of evidence of the incontrovertible contempt that this nation often shows and displays for black men.”

Someone needs to tell Mr. Smiley, the Reverend Sharpton, the civil rights establishment and white liberals both in and out of the media that we are no longer living in 1955 Mississippi. If there is a crime involving two races today, the victim is most likely going to be white and the criminal is most likely going to be black – not the other way around. That may be one more thing polite people aren’t supposed to say out loud – and certainly not in public.

Protests spread across the country Sunday in a second day of demonstrations in the wake of the sensational not-guilty verdict for George Zimmerman after he shot dead unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

Demonstrations, from Florida where the trial took place to Atlanta, DC and New York, remained largely peaceful, though Los Angeles protesters managed to shut down an entire freeway and thousands of New Yorkers mobbed Times Square and blocked traffic for an hour.

Emotional crowds screamed 'Justice for Trayvon' and carried signs that likened the struggle of the slain teen and his supporters to that of the original civil rights movement.

Enough protestors had gathered on foot in Los Angeles to shut down the city's 10 freeway.

With cars backed up in their wake, the mob chanted their rallying cry: 'Who's streets? Our street, our freeway.'

Police were unable to clear the roadway and allow traffic to pass until around 7pm and photos show a face-to-face clash between cops and protestors on the highway.

Elsewhere in Los Angeles, protestors have had confrontations with police, according to NBC4, which reports that LAPD has fired rubber bullets into the crowd.

Bean bag rounds were also used to disperse the Los Angeles crowd and police said D cell batteries and rocks had been thrown at them.

As the night began to wear on in the City of Angels, protests became more serious.

Reverend Jacqueline Lewis addressed Trayvon Martin and gun control as part of her sermon at Middle Collegiate Church.

"We're going to raise our voices against the root causes of this kind of tragedy,' she told the room full of hoodie-clad, emotional congregants. 'We'll aim our fight for justice against the ease with which people can get firearms in this country.'

The New York march made its way to Times Square from Union Square in Manhattan around 6pm.

Leaders yelled calls for justice into bullhorns and hundreds of fists remained raised in the air as neon advertisements backlit the fiery crowd.

As their numbers swelled, the march continued up 5th Avenue toward Manhattan's Harlem neighborhood.

Police threatened to pepper spray unruly demonstrators, whose presence blocked traffic for more than an hour.

As the marchers walked on, they took to 5th Avenue and headed north with the darkened backdrop of Central Park.

As they made their may uptown, tensions seemed to rise.

Some believe the police began to clamp down on the crowd as it approached the Upper East Side home of Mayor Bloomberg.

Arrests had been made by 11pm and at least seven total demonstrators were taken into custody by police on disorderly conduct and related charges.

Earlier that day and one borough over, Solange Knowles, sister of superstar Beyonce, addressed a group at the Brooklyn Borough Hall on Sunday afternoon.

'I really want this to be about Trayvon,' she told gatherers at the demonstration she organized.

Beyonce, 31, took a moment to honor Trayvon Martin during her Mrs Carter Show World Tour concert at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Her concert started about 30 minutes after news of the Zimmerman verdict began to spread.

'I'd like to have a moment of silence for Trayvon,' Beyonce said as the stage grew dark with just a few key lights shining.

Beyonce broke into the chorus of I Will Always Love You, a song written by country music star Dolly Parton and sung by the late Whitney Houston, before transitioning into her hit Halo.

The New York demonstrators managed to get around a formidable blockade of riot gear equipped police officers and other snags by zigzagging through the streets.

As if to foretell what unrest the Saturday acquittal of George Zimmerman may bring, protestors chanted as they marched for much of Sunday's demonstration: 'No Justice, No Peace!'

A rally and march in Chicago drew about 200 people.

Attendee Maya Miller said the case reminded her of the 1955 slaying of Emmitt Till, a 14-year-old from Chicago who was murdered by a group of white men while visiting Mississippi. Till's killing galvanized the civil rights movement.

'Fifty-eight years and nothing's changed,' Miller said, pausing to join a chant to 'Justice for Trayvon, not one more.'

The racially mixed, insistent crowd Windy City held pictures of Martin as the called for justice and one held a picture of Till.

'We’ve gone from approved killings in Mississippi in 1955 to approved killings in Florida in 2013,' Airicka Gordon Taylor, protestor and cousin to Till, told the Chicago Sun-Times.

In Miami, more than 200 people gathered for a vigil. 'You can't justify murder,' read one poster. Another read 'Don't worry about more riots. Worry about more Zimmermans.'

Carol Reitner, 76, of Miami, said she heard about the vigil through an announcement at her church Sunday morning. 'I was really devastated. It's really hard to believe that someone can take the life of someone else and walk out of court free,' she said.

In Philadelphia, about 700 protesters marched from LOVE Park to the Liberty Bell, alternating between chanting Trayvon Martin's name and 'No justice, no peace!'

'We hope this will begin a movement to end discrimination against young black men,' said Johnathan Cooper, one of the protest's organizers. 'And also to empower black people and get them involved in the system.'

Protesters in the densely African American city of Atlanta, Georgia took to the streets early Sunday.

Some wore hooded sweaters in the 80-degree heat — similar to what Martin was wearing when he was shot — and carried cans of iced tea and bags of Skittles, which Martin was carrying when he was killed.

Word of the rally spread quickly via social media sites on Sunday, with demonstrators using the Twitter hashtag #MarchForTrayvonATL to tell others about the rally and to share photos.

In Boston, about 500 racially mixed protesters left their demonstration site in the Roxbury neighborhood and started marching in the streets alongside police escorts on motorcycle and on foot. Police called the march 'very orderly.'

'Morally it cannot be right, that a child cannot go about his business and go to the store,' said Maura Twomey, 57, an acupuncturist. 'Racism is not just an issue for the black community. It's for all of us.'

Demonstrators raised signs saying 'We Demand Justice,' 'Stop Racial Profiling' and 'Never Forget. Never Again. Justice for Trayvon.'

Detroit saw a crowd of about 500 gather the day after the controversial verdict in the city's Grand Circus Park, reports the Detroit Free Press.

'It’s a sad day in America,' David Bullock of the Change Agent Consortium said in his address to the Motor City crowd. 'When I saw the not-guilty verdict come across the screen, something in me broke. … It seems to be the only thing the brother did wrong was walk and be black at the same time.'

Zimmerman, a 29-year-old Hispanic, looked visibly relieved at the Seminole court on Saturday evening after the jury of six women reached their conclusion that he had justifiably killed the unarmed black 17-year-old last February.

In the San Francisco Bay area, marchers took to the streets once more after particularly rowdy Oakland, California reactions to the verdict Saturday.

Sunday, as on Saturday, flags were burned in Oakland, an historic hotbed of racial tensions.

Hundreds gathered there and in San Francisco, where demonstrations were more subdued.

Some beat drums and others blew bullhorns in San Francisco's demonstrations. Several speakers addressed the crowds.

Police stood by to discourage the behaviors that made Oakland's Saturday unrest one of the nation's unruliest.

But as anger flared from coast to coast, President Obama, who's spoken on the case before, urged Americans to keep their calm:

'I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son.'

Relief: George Zimmerman breaks into a smile of relief a few moments after being cleared of all charges

The verdict on the case that has bitterly divided the nation, after the jury took more than 16 hours and 20 minutes over two days to reach their conclusion.

They unanimously decided the neighborhood watch volunteer and would-be cop justifiably killed the unarmed teen because he believed his life was threatened on that February night in Florida last year.

As the judge announced that Zimmerman had no other business with the Seminole court just after 10pm on Saturday, his mother, who was sat in the court, beamed a smile for the first time during the trial and his emotional wife broke down in tears.

Zimmerman jubilantly embraced both - realizing that after a year and a half of living as a hermit and virtual recluse - he was now a free man.

Trayvon Martin's heartbroken mother has poured her heart out onto Twitter in the sensational aftermath of George Zimmerman's not-guilty verdict.

In an emotional message posted just an hour after the jurors reached their decision, Sybrina Fulton called this 'her darkest hour' and prayed to Jesus for help and guidance.

'Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you. You are all that I have. At the end of the day, GOD is still in control. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I will love you forever Trayvon!!! In the name of Jesus!!!'

Trayvon's father, Tracy, also posted his reaction to the social networking site approximately half-an-hour after the verdict was announced.

'Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY (sic).'

Thanking everyone who supported the Martin family during the three week long trial, Martin also paid tribute to his 17-year-old son and re-iterated that he and Trayvon's mother, Sybrina knew that he would be proud of their legal fight.

'God blessed Me and Sybrina with Tray and even in his death I know my baby proud of the FIGHT we along with all of you put up for him GOD BLESS (sic)'.

Both Tracy Martin and Trayvon's mother Sybrina Fulton chose not to be in the Seminole Circuit Court when the jurors announced their decision.

Spies & Muscle: Holder, Secretive DOJ Group Helped Oust Sanford Sheriff

The Obama administration may have had direct involvement in shaping the Trayvon Martin shooting narrative, including direct involvement in forcing Sanford, FL sheriff Bill Lee to temporarily step down.

Docs: DOJ Provided Support for Trayvon Rallies

---

by Ben Shapiro 10 Jul 2013, 10:28 AM PDT post a comment

On Wednesday, Judicial Watched announced that the Department of Justice had turned over documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act request showing that the Community Relations Service (CRS), a small division of the DOJ, was sent to Sanford, Florida after the Trayvon Martin shooting to help manage rallies and protests.

In April 2013, Breitbart News' Lee Stranahan first reportedthe role of the CRS in Sanford.

The new documents show that from March 25 through April 12, 2012, the CRS spent thousands of dollars helping organize and “work” marches and demonstrations regarding Trayvon Martin. Tasks included:

• Working “marches, demonstrations, and rallies related to the shooting and death of an African-American teen by a neighborhood watch captain”;
• Providing “support for protest deployment in Florida”;
• Providing “technical assistance to the City of Sanford, event organizers, and law enforcement agencies for the march and rally on March 31”;
• Providing “technical assistance, conciliation, and onsite mediation during demonstrations planned in Sanford.”

In April, the CRS reportedly “set up a meeting between the local NAACP and elected officials that led to the temporary resignation of police chief Bill Lee according to Turner Clayton, Seminole County chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.”

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton commented, “These documents detail the extraordinary intervention by the Justice Department in the pressure campaign leading to the prosecution of George Zimmerman. My guess is that most Americans would rightly object to taxpayers paying government employees to help organize racially-charged demonstrations.”

How a Miami School Crime Cover-Up Policy Led to Trayvon Martin’s Death

By Robert Stacy McCain on 7.15.13 @ 1:05AM




The February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martion might never have happened if school officials in Miami-Dade County had not instituted an unofficial policy of treating crimes as school disciplinary infractions. Revelations that emerged from an internal affairs investigation explain why Martin was not arrested when caught at school with stolen jewelry in October 2011 or with marijuana in February 2012. Instead, the teenager was suspended from school, the last time just days before he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.


Trayvon Martin was not from Sanford, the town north of Orlando where he was shot in 2012 and where a jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder charges Saturday. Martin was from Miami Gardens, more than 200 miles away, and had come to Sanford to stay with his father’s girlfriend Brandy Green at her home in the townhouse community where Zimmerman was in charge of the neighborhood watch. Trayvon was staying with Green after he had been suspended for the second time in six months from Krop High School in Miami-Dade County, where both his father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, lived.


Both of Trayvon’s suspensions during his junior year at Krop High involved crimes that could have led to his prosecution as a juvenile offender. However, Chief Charles Hurley of the Miami-Dade School Police Department (MDSPD) in 2010 had implemented a policy that reduced the number of criiminal reports, manipulating statistics to create the appearance of a reduction in crime within the school system. Less than two weeks before Martin’s death, the school system commended Chief Hurley for “decreasing school-related juvenile delinquency by an impressive 60 percent for the last six months of 2011.” What was actually happening was that crimes were not being reported as crimes, but instead treated as disciplinary infractions.


In October 2011, after a video surveillance camera caught Martin writing graffiti on a door, MDSPD Office Darryl Dunn searched Martin’s backpack, looking for the marker he had used. Officer Dunn found 12 pieces of women’s jewelry and a man’s watch, along with a flathead screwdriver the officer described as a “burglary tool.” The jewelry and watch, which Martin claimed he had gotten from a friend he refused to name, matched a description of items stolen during the October 2011 burglary of a house on 204th Terrace, about a half-mile from the school. However, because of Chief Hurley’s policy “to lower the arrest rates,” as one MDSPD sergeant said in an internal investigation, the stolen jewerly was instead listed as “found property” and was never reported to Miami-Dade Police who were investigating the burglary. Similarly, in February 2012 when an MDSPD officer caught Martin with a small plastic bag containing marijuana residue, as well as a marijuana pipe, this was not treated as a crime, and instead Martin was suspended from school.


Either of those incidents could have put Trayvon Martin into the custody of the juvenile justice system. However, because of Chief Hurley’s attempt to reduce the school crime statistics — according to sworn testimony, officers were “basically told to lie and falsify” reports — Martin was never arrested. And if he had been arrested, he might never have been in Sanford the night of his fatal encounter with Zimmerman.


In fact, the reason Zimmerman was patrolling the townhouse community the night of the February 2012 shooting was that there had been a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood, although there was no indication that Trayvon Martin was involved in any of those crimes.


As for Chief Hurley’s policy, it was the controversy over Martin’s death that accidentally exposed it. In March 2012, the Miami Herald reported on Martin’s troubled history of disciplinary incidents at Krop High. Chief Hurley then launched the internal affairs investigation in an attempt to find out who had provided information to the reporter.

During the course of that investigation, MDSPD officers and supervisors described Chief Hurley’s policy of not reporting crimes by students. Chief Hurley was subsequently accused of sexually harassing two female subordinates. He resigned in February, about a year after Trayvon Martin’s death.

Nancy Grace lies, says ‘F** king Coons’ While Railing Against Zimmerman

Like rabid dogs, drooling at the corners of their mouths, the left perceives the final assault on the division of our country.. Of course the intention is to distract us from the march to dismantle anything that is left of our constitution.
When I saw this interview that went down with Nancy Grace, one has to come to the conclusion that we are indeed lost. I heard nothing that George Zimmerman ever said what she purports he said. But we will just make it up as we go along.
Two posts today. Earlier post gives Alan Dershowitz take on the fine special prosecutor. Alan Dershowitz Slams Special Prosecutor Angela Corey

Published on Jul 15, 2013
While speaking Saturday night with Trayvon Martin’s family attorney, shortly before the verdict was read for George Zimmerman’s acquittal, HLN host Nancy Grace said “f**king coons” live on-the-air while railing against what she considers to have been the defendant’s undeniable “hatred” for the teenager he shot.
After Martin family lawyer Daryl Parks made the claim that no one will be happy with the then-upcoming verdict, seeing as how the late teenager will never be brought back to life, Grace stepped in to say that she believes, based on the audio recordings, that Zimmerman had an unquestionable sense of ill will towards the victim: “I’ll tell you what I think made a difference. When that 9-1-1 tape first came out — and everybody, get ready, this is graphic language — when it first came out that Zimmerman had said ‘f**king coon’ on the 9-1-1 call, to me, that was open-and-shut that that showed open ill will and hatred. Now they’ve revised it to say he said ‘These punks, they always get away with it.’ I’m wondering if that reinterpretation of what he said made a difference as to a jury finding ill will in Mr. Zimmerman’s heart.”

Trayvon killer 'needs to carry a gun more now than ever'

• Adam Withnall
• 16th Jul 2013 5:48 AM

Protesters take to the streets after the aquittal of George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin killing case.

THE man acquitted of murdering unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin will have his gun returned to him and is expected to carry it, say his lawyers.


Volunteer neighbourhood watch member George Zimmerman, 29, was described as having gone through "the worst time" of his life, and his defence attorney Don West told ABC News: "I don't know how he could not carry a gun at this point since he has been lawfully allowed to carry one."


The result of the trial over the 17-year-old's death has sparked angry protests across the US, with thousands of demonstrators bringing Times Square in New York to a standstill on Sunday night chanting: "Justice for Trayvon Martin!"


And speaking about the public displays of outrage, another member of Mr Zimmerman's defence team Mark O'Mara said: "He's been scared for the last 16 months, and with anger like this I think he has reason to be worried."


Jurors were told that Mr Zimmerman was allowed to use deadly force when he used his Kel Tec pistol to shoot the unarmed 17-year-old, not only if he actually faced death or bodily harm, but also if he just thought he did.


When asked by an ABC reporter in a separate interview: "Does he get that gun back?", Mr O'Mara said "Yes, he does." He said he has "even more reason now" to carry one than he did before the fatal shooting.


And the acquitted man's brother, Robert Zimmerman Jr., told CNN: "He's going to be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life."


Mr Zimmerman may still face court action, as Mr Martin's family consider a civil case against him and the Justice Department issued a statement saying it is looking into the possibility of filing criminal civil rights charges.


The NAACP issued an online petition asking for the Department to act to "address the travesties of the tragic death of Trayvon Martin", and it has been signed by nearly 250,000 people.


It is thought that Mr Zimmerman is unlikely to ever return to Florida, and he has been in hiding outside the state since he was released on bail in June 2012.


Friends told Reuters he is nonetheless still considering pursuing a career as a criminal lawyer, and that he "sees it as a potential path forward to help other people like himself" who have been prosecuted "inappropriately".


Meanwhile President Barack Obama called for calm following Sunday night's demonstrations against the acquittal, which took place across the country and saw police using rubber bullets to disperse angry protestors in San Francisco and Los Angeles.


He said: "I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken."


Civil rights leaders have asked for anyone expressing their anger to do so peacefully, and most have complied. The Reverend Jesse Jackson said the legal system had "failed justice", but added that violence is not the answer.


And at London's Wireless festival last night closing act Jay-Z thanked the crowds and added: "Rest in peace, Trayvon Martin." Also performing - in their first show for 20 years - were hip-hop pioneers A Tribe Called Quest, who issued their own call for peace.


"I don't want to be a downer but yesterday in America, we saw a miscarriage of justice," said band member Q-Tip. "It's not the first time this has happened. Pray for us... we need help."

Obama Turning Man Against His Brother until Man Exists No More

Posted on July 14, 2013 by Martin Armstrong



Back in 1929, the then US Secretary of State Henry Stimson closed down his department’s code-breaking office because, he said, “gentlemen don’t read each other’s mail.” The end of a society historically is marked by paranoia. MSN reports on Obama orders government employees to spy on each other. What Obama cannot grasp is once you begin to turn everyone against everyone else, everything is completely lost. Obama is now recreating the Venetian Mouth of Truth and this is one of the final straws before a major collapse.




I went behind the Berlin Wall before it fell. A friend on mine was born in East Germany and the day they put up the wall he happened to be walking with hid grandmother on the other side of the street. He wanted to visit his family trapped behind the Wall. He had become an American, but he was not a born American. The rumor was if they found out he was born in East Germany, they would keep him. So he wanted to go with a natural born American. I said yes, because I wanted to see what was true and what was not.





I walked through Check Point Charlie. That was an experience all in itself. You had to buy East German marks one for one with West German, but inside, not even the government would accept its own currency. The greatest trait of the Secret Police was they had turned everyone against everyone else. If anyone was within hearing distance, my friend’s cousin would praise the government. As soon as we were alone, she would curse the government and the people.



The Stasi were the most notorious secret police in history. A friend grew up in East Germany. When the Wall Fell, the extent of the Stasi then came to light People found their apartments were bugged and ALL their so-called friends were reporting to the government on them. This is precisely what Obama is doing to the American society. At train stations there are posters saying IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING. Now Obama is doing the same thing inside government. What these people do not understand, one you turn man against his brother, there is nothing left.

This may or may not have been posted before, but in light of the bullshit propaganda making rounds, it bears posting evidence that Zimmerman was not a racist.

Zimmerman: Sanford Police Covered Up Beating Of Black Homeless Man By White Officer

George Zimmerman, Sanford Police Department, Trayvon Martin

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman accused the Sanford police department of corruption more than a year before he shot Trayvon Martin, saying at a public forum the agency covered up the beating of a black homeless man by the son of a white officer.


“I would just like to state that the law is written in black and white,” Zimmerman said during a 90-second statement to city commissioners at a community forum. “It should not and cannot be enforced in the gray for those who are in the thin blue line.”


The forum took place on Jan. 8, 2011, days after a video of the beating went viral on the Internet and then-Sanford Police Chief Brian Tooley was forced to retire. Tooley’s department faced criticism for dragging its feet in arresting Justin Collison, the son of a police lieutenant.


“I’d like to know what action the commission is taking in order to repeal Mr. Tooley’s pension,” Zimmerman said to the commission. “I’m not asking you to repeal his pension; I believe he’s already forfeited his pension by his illegal cover-up in corruption in what happened in his department.”


Zimmerman’s public comments could be important because the Martin family and supporters contend the neighborhood watch volunteer singled Martin out because he was black. Zimmerman has a Peruvian mother and a white father. His supporters have said he is not racist.


The Miami Herald first reported details from the January 2011 community forum Wednesday. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the tape from the meeting.


In the speech, Zimmerman said he witnessed “disgusting” behavior by officers when he was part of a ride-along program, though the agency said it did not know when, if ever, Zimmerman was in that program.
“The officer showed me his favorite hiding spots for taking naps. He explained to me he doesn’t carry a long gun in his vehicle because in his words, ‘Anything that requires a long gun requires a lot of paperwork and you’re gonna find me as far away from it.’”


Zimmerman also said the officer in question “took two lunch breaks and attended a going away party for one of his fellow officers.”


Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett and interim police chief Richard Myers were both unavailable for comment.


Zimmerman is free on bond awaiting his second-degree murder trial for shooting Martin. Martin was walking back to a townhome he was staying at when he got into a fight with Zimmerman, who shot him in the chest at close range.


Zimmerman, who claims the Feb. 26 shooting was self-defense, was initially not arrested. But after protests around the country and an investigation by a state prosecutor, he was charged.


Tooley’s successor, Bill Lee, temporarily resigned his post following a no-confidence vote by city commissioners.


Lee offered to resign permanently, but his commissioners turned down his request. He is on paid leave.

There's a LOT of nonsense going around.

The BEST post I saw anywhere was on a friend's facebook. He's a black fella, nice guy, but an old tough Marine. He's got no time for dickheads and gangbangers.

He said, "The verdict is in, let the riots begin" - which gave me pause about his attitude for a few minutes until the other messages started coming in.

He was daring the blacks to riot. All his friends were saying crap like, "Yep, we have all our mags loaded up...." etc. They are white. He said "Me too! I hope the kids decide to stay home"

Then one young man, a black man, probably in his mid 20s said, "Peeps better stay home. I think it's huntin' season on us....."

LMAO!

If Obama Had A Son …..

Posted on July 16, 2013 by stevengoddard

A peaceful protest of the George Zimmerman verdict in Los Angeles turned violent Monday after youths broke away from the main demonstration in Leimert Park, stomped on cars, broke windows, set fires and attacked several people.


KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV reporter Dave Bryan and his cameraman were among those who came under assault. One of the two journalists was taken to a hospital with a possible concussion,Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Andy Neiman told The Times.


Protesters also stormed a Wal-Mart in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, pushing their way through as guards scrambled to close security gates. A short while later, LAPD officers wearing helmets and carrying batons swarmed the store as others marched through the parking lot.


Young vandals who entered the Wal-Mart stormed in, threw merchandise on the ground and yelled, shoppers told a Times reporter. Some tried to break open the jewelry glass displays. The disturbance in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles caused about 350 LAPD officers to swarm the area, leading to at least 13 arrests.


Elsewhere, one young man was seen throwing a metal wastebasket at the window of a darkened Jack-in-the-Box restaurant.
