Regarding the George Zimmerman case, Obama wants us to believe the same misinformation that most of the media have been spreading for the past year and a half: That Trayvon Martin had just been innocently traipsing along on his way back from the 7-11 on the fateful night in question, and that the whole thing would have been avoided if not for the tendency by people like George Zimmerman to profile young black males such as Martin.
It has not seemed to penetrate the minds of Obama, Eric Holder, or any of the media talking heads just exactly why Zimmerman found Martin suspicious, despite the existence of ample recorded statements and police interviews in which Zimmerman explains it thoroughly.
Even Bill OReilly, in his recent heated tirade directed at Obamas disgusting and divisive speech from last week, made the egregious error of saying the following: Trayvon Martin was killed because circumstances got out of control. He was scrutinized by a neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, because of the way he looked. Not necessarily his skin color, there is no evidence of that but because he was a stranger to Zimmerman and was dressed in clothing sometimes used by street criminals. It was wrong for Zimmerman to confront Martin based on his appearance.
Why the heck do Obama, Sharpton, OReilly, Nancy Grace, and the rest of them get away with spreading this nonsense?
First off, the evidence in the trial all supported Zimmermans insistence that he did not confront Martinin fact, everything points to it being the other way around, that Martin stalked and accosted/attacked Zimmerman.
Second, Zimmerman made it perfectly clear that his reasons for calling the police about Martin had at least as much to do with what Martin was actually doing as with Martin matching the profile of those committing previous break-ins in the neighborhood.
Besides noting that Martin appeared to be up to no good and on drugs or something, and giving the police dispatcher basic information about Martins sketchy behavior, Zimmerman later described repeatedly and in detail how Martin was loitering around the area and looking intently at the houses, especially at one house which had already been the site of a prior attempted break-in.
When Zimmerman first observed Martin, the teenager was actually in the grassy yard in front of that house, instead of on the nearby sidewalkit was raining, and it seemed especially suspicious to Zimmerman that instead of making his way along the sidewalk as if he had a destination to get to, and to get out of the rain, Martin was standing close to the house entrance and peering around furtively. Zimmerman made all of this clear when he went back to the scene the day after the shooting with detectives, and described it all in minute detail, re-enacting the entire incident.
Furthermore, Martin had a record of being involved in burglary. This was at first officially covered-up by Miami-Dade school police, yet later unearthed through FOIA requests by dogged bloggers at The Conservative Treehouse website. Notice how Obama never mentions that, nor of course do any of the other perpetrators of the Saint Skittles fraud mention it.
They also mostly never discuss Martins penchant for the sadistic bashing of others, as evidenced by his social media accounts in which he relishes a rematch with one opponent who didnt bleed enough for me, only his nose the first time.
So Obama whined on and on and on for 17 minutes last Thursday about how people tend to think and act differently around black men. Somewhere in there, for only a tiny moment, he begrudgingly acknowledged that the reason for this is that black men in general, especially younger ones, tend to act differently around peoplethat is, they are extremely more likely to engage in crime, and for that matter violent crime, than members of other sub-demographic groups. That actual level of disproportionate criminality and violence is astonishing, when you look at the statistics. But of course, our countrys past history regarding race relations is the only thing Obama saw fit to mention as having any responsibility whatsoever for the pathological depravity and violence of the black criminal underclass.
What was especially sickening about Obamas dishonest screed last week was how he, like so many others who are supposed to be informing and leading the public to better put events into realistic context, completely mis-characterized why Zimmerman saw fit to alert police to Martin.
As to the rest of what he said, including throwing out the stand-your-ground red herring again (and completely getting wrong the most basic principles of self-defense)as someone who is supposed to know and understand the law, Obama should just shut up. He never should have opened his dishonest mouth in the first place.
very good!
On CNN's Headline New defensy atty O'Mara mentioned that Martin was under the influence of marijuana and that he was spotted near a home that had recently been burglarized. O'Mara went on to say that Martin had recently been "caught with the fruits of a burglary." A reference to the watch, jewelry and burglary tool found in Martin's backpack by school authorities several months before. With that comment, O'Mara is serving notice to those who will pursue Zimmerman in civil court that the barriers to evidence in the criminal case of Martin's recent troubled history before his death will not pertain in civil court.
================================================================================
Trayvon's shady record will certainly come up on a civil rights case.
SOURCE http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2120504/Trayvon-Martin-case-He-suspended-times-caught-burglary-tool.html
Suspended from school three times:
<><> He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
<><> Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
<><> Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness
The buzz is his brother tweeted that Trayvon attacked the schoolbus driver.

FReeper Highest Authority wrote: The Ariona Watermelon Tea and skittles that Trayvon bought at the convenience store right before he encountered Zimmerman is two parts of a Southern ghetto high called DANK or LEAN....and Purple Drank. All he needed to complete the mix was Robitussin ---a common cough syrup, which was probably in his hip pocket. So when his putative daddy would not give "the child" the 20 bucks for a coupla joints---Trayvon decided to get high w/ this formula.
Amazing how "the child" knew this. Street-wise Trayvon has been know to talk about "purple drank" both on social media and in school. He was suspended not only for assaulting his schoolbus driver but also for his drug use.
Side effects of the usage of "lean" includes aggressive behavior.....helps to understand why this rabid "child" attacked his bus driver and lay in wait----like a predator----for FOUR FULL MINUTES TO attack George Zimmerman.
Fact is, if Trayvon had been white, Zimmerman would not have been found “not guilty” — BECAUSE THERE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A TRIAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Ask O'R and Grace, etc. how they would like to see this and how they'd react if they looked out their window at night as saw this kid casing THEIR house.
Obama doesn’t care what you crazy-@ss crackers think.
I do not believe that Blacks care very much that Trayvon Martin died. After all, they seem to ignore more black on black violent deaths every day. I think what Blacks care about is that some white guy had the temerity and the means to defend himself from a beat down.
That is really what this is about, cow white people so that the black hoodlums can rob, steal and kill more of them with impunity.
The Obama administrations panders to this because it buys black votes, just like Obama phones.
Your summary is very good. I would only add the observation that if Obama has really been upset, hearing White people push the locks on their car doors as he walks by, or ladies clutching their purses more closely in elevators, he is pathologically paranoid. Why would he just assume that they would not do the same thing with any White stranger, in the same elevator? This sort of "woe is us," nonsense is part of an overall pathology, that has been created by other demagogues before Obama. But that he would confidently seek to exploit it, also may tell us something more about Obama, himself.

Put me on your ping list...!
Good points here, but never confuse liberals with any facts.
Facts don’t matter to the liberals. All that matters is their narrative. And their narrative is that Trayvon was an innocent black boy, just minding his own business, who was shot by a racist. And, the related narrative is that America is a racist society, where people lock their doors and clutch purses tighter when near black men And the only reason people behave that way around black men is due to racism.
om. .h.
If I had a ping list I would!
Well-said, William.
You know the thing about hearing the door locks clicking is a mute point with newer cars since they lock when put into drive. Maybe car designers were having racist thoughts when they designed this feature in.
I did!
"I want to thank Rev Al for helping me look like
a "victim" as long as possible---at least until the
paternity test comes back and shows I don't get no
money because I ain't Trayvon's daddy. "
I saw a timeline somewhere that showed Trayvon left the 7-11 50 minutes (give or take) before he was shot, indicating he had taken his own sweet time walking home.
N-i-c-e take.
That’s life-—there’s a lot of white people I like and a lot of white people I dont like.
There’s a lot of black people I like and a lot of black people I dont like.
