I bet you hadn't heard that so far in the flurry of media reports on the shooting. All you know is a random whitish guy (who's actually Hispanic) targeted a poor black kid and shot him because of racism. Does anyone wonder why no charges have been brought in this case? Could it be there isn't yet evidence of a crime and that perhaps the shooter was in fact defending himself? From Examiner.com:
All the way back on February 27th, the local Orlando Fox station interviewed the witness who dialed 911. Almost none of the thousands of articles since have mentioned any of the details described by the witness. Some, however, have attributed false statements to this witness. On March 16th, theSanford police department released new details to the Orlando Sentinel. Once again, these details have been ignored or changed by the media.
- The witness reports that George Zimmerman was on the ground and Trayvon is on top of him punching him.
- The witness says that George Zimmerman was screaming and yelling for help.
- Police arrive and find Zimmerman bleeding on his face and the back of his head.
- He also has had grass stains on his back. All this confirms the story told by Zimmerman and the witness.
- Police play the 911 tape for Trayvon Martin's father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.
The neighborhood this took place in has seen a lot of crime. Would you be surprised to learn that there were eight burglaries, nine thefts, and a shooting just in the past year? In fact, the local homeowners' association reports that George Zimmerman actually caught one thief and aided in the apprehension of other criminals. The Miami Herald wrote about this on March 17th. None of the thousands of articles and cable news segments that came after, thought this was important.
In fact the Miami Herald goes on to interview neighbor, Ibrahim Rashada, who is black. Rashada confirms that there has been a lot of crime in the neighborhood and indicates to the reporter that the perpetrators are usually black.
It has been reported that Martin was on a 5-day suspension from school. According to what I'm reading that suspension was due to tardiness and not other misbehavior. The Examiner article above refers to the suspension but didn't have all the facts behind it. It doesn't appear that this kid had a history of violent behavior, but that doesn't prove one way or the other who instigated the incident.

It seems to be the way leftist racism works, you only hear the political truth that counts after being sifted on the bases of race..

I have no idea if the above information is true. I hope the truth is soon revealed, whoever and however it affects. This is a tragic incident in that a person died. But if the above proves to be true, Rev Al will once again, as so many times in the past, be shown to put his mouth in gear long before his brain is even awake.
ReplyDeleteFixed the first link. My bad.
ReplyDeleteI hope the truth is uncovered soon as well. Right now the unscrupulous are running with a version of this story that is not based on fact, but rather assumption.
Zimmerman chases Marten down. That much we know is true-- it was on the 911 tape.
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it, Martin was unarmed and 70 lbs lighter than Zimmerman.
In Florida the claim of self-defense appears to be enough to get Zimmerman off.
But in my world, we would call Zimmerman a pussy for starting something he couldn't finish and then being so cowardly as to even draw his weapon, much less pull the trigger.
If you want to make this Zimmerman punk out to be some kind of a right wing hero and a reason to allow CCW then so be it but I think there are plenty of real heroes you could be hanging your hat on.
And while Froggy already knows this: I am armed and do carry. But unlike Zimmerman, I'm not carrying out of some delusional sense of being judge, jury, prosecutor and executioner all rolled into one.
Seriously, Froggy, pick a real hero and dump this Zimmerman pussy.
Nothing I have said supports what happened, whether it be the death of Martin, the action taken by Zimmerman or the subsequent politicization of Martin's death for Democratic gain.
DeleteI believe it is important to depoliticize this incident and the posted information seems important in that regard.
I sense another "Beer Summit" on the way.
