Fight Back! is calling for protests in the wake of the verdict of the George Zimmerman trial. The trial of George Zimmerman is now concluded and the jury is deliberating. Across the United States, people are awaiting the verdict on this racist killer who stalked and shot dead 17 year old African-American student Trayvon Martin in February 2012. Odds are there is not going to be any justice for Trayvon Martin in the courtroom. The vigilante murder of an African-American will likely not result in a guilty verdict on a murder charge. Fight Back! is calling on people to protest the verdict!
It seems that George Zimmerman, son of a magistrate, friend of the police, is not going to be found guilty of second-degree murder and sent to prison. The possibility does exist that he will be found guilty of manslaughter, as if Zimmerman who stalked and killed Martin accidentally shot him. Some predict the racist vigilante Zimmerman will be found not guilty and walk free. The lesson of the Zimmerman trial could not be starker. In the US, no Black man can get justice inside a courtroom. During the trial, Zimmerman was given a jury that has no African Americans and witnesses for the prosecution were treated as hostile, with obvious racial undertones by the Zimmerman defense. However, the racist killer of an African-American youth is treated with every kindness, while every possibility and excuse is considered.
Not This Time!
We know there would not even be a trial if not for the mass movement that rose up around the call of the parents of Trayvon Martin to demand justice. The police did not arrest the vigilante Zimmerman, he was questioned and then went home. No government officials, not the police chief, nor the politicians, nor the courts thought to hold Zimmerman accountable. They tried to file it away. Trayvon’s parents and African-American leaders and activists across the country would not allow it though. Not this time.
No Justice, No Peace!
Last year, after the murder of Trayvon Martin, the African-American freedom movement and its allies held protests in most cities, big and small, uniting to demand 'Justice for Trayvon'. This advanced the movement against racist murders and police misconduct. Now we need to follow through and let the rich and their politicians know that we are not going to take it anymore. We ask that leaders get organized now, before the verdict is handed down. Let the politicians, the courts, and the police know that enough is enough! No justice, no peace!
Trayvon was a student? Of what? Purple pharmacology?
Lynch Whitey.
So many lies, so little intelligence.
Most likely more of the race baiting ANSWER crowd, who just can’t wait for social upheaval to accelerate martial law and complete utopian tyranny.
Hmmm. Sounds like a certain POTUS I know...
justice for Zimmermann
Naw he's dead...that's enough justice for this thug. Let him rot in hell!
Free the Jena 6!
Did anyone ever say to any of these rabble - ‘Use your words.’ Like, when they were 4? Honestly - if you don’t get your way, have a temper tantrum. If you REALLY wanted your own way, break other people’s windows. You’ll just show the Law who’s who.
Disgusting. Too bad this trial wasn’t in Texas. Oh, wait a minute - it would never have made it to Court in Texas. DA would have been run out of town a long time ago, as would the judge. And Trayvon would probably long ago have been in Juvvie.
But I don't think anyone worries that Whites will riot if the "wrong" verdict is released. We won't burn down our own neighborhood. We won't go and burn down someone else's neighborhood. That's not how we operate. We will be upset and outraged, but not violent.
And that is one reason we keep getting pushed.
They’re going to let the rich know? I guess we can look for protests in front of Michael Jordan’s house and Tiger Wood’s house and Will Smith’s house and Stevie Wonder’s house and Bill Cosby’s house. ALL the stereotypes need to be examined and the first stereotype to be proven false is that all Americans who are black are poor. It’s just not true.
Here we have people calling for civil insurrection. Isn’t this supposed to be why we have a Department of Homeland Security?
I really don’t think Martin cares about “justice” anymore. These phony balony maggots are doing this for themselves.
Check out the rest of the website. It’s nothing but a communist online blog.
Fixed a typo.
Yes, but unfortunately the list is in cursive.
Communist agitprop = Obama + Holder.
He was an apt pupil of his father's Cripps ways, and an accomplished jewel thief at age 17.
Exactly!
That request for guidance on the manslaughter charge has me concerned.
Justice for Trayvon?
Dig him up and hang him, with Mr. Holder and his sponsor.
Looks like the judge is expecting a verdict tonight. She has kept the lawyers and court staff there and hasn’t told the media to go home.

Jeez, it’s almost 10pm and no verdict. If they don’t hurry up, we may not get any riots in tonght.
Anybody watching FOX about 10 minutes ago? Damn, I could have sworn I just heard Judge Jeanine say: .....”As we await justice for Travon Martin” as she headed into a commercial. I hope to heck it was my old ass ears hearing wrong again ‘cause I love Judge Jeanine!!
How am I “getting into bed” with them by posting a thread from there?
LOL, ya bested me!
Verdict is in!
Awful timing if so, as far as flash mobs and street violence, it’s already there late on a Saturday night in most southern downtown bar and nightclub areas.
Fine. Let them have their little scapegoat. I, personally, don’t care because the conservative black leaders and friends that we have on our side will be the ones who make a difference to other blacks that will be life changing. The rest of the riff raff is just conversation while they let their constituents kill each other - and blithely ignore it. Keep it up. Reap the impact, bitches.
Let the riots begin!
Not Guilty HOORAY
The whole manslaughter option has had me worried since DayOne. Murder2 was an overcharge and no one could miss that but this could seem a good compromise to the jurors
NOTGuilty!!!
PRAISE GOD. THANK YOU LORD FOR THE GUIDANCE YOU PROVIDED THESE JURORS. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPERIOR SKILL OF MARK O’MARA AND MR. WEST.
GEORGE SKATES...
ALL CHARGES DROPPED...
THERE IS JUSTICE !!!!!
GPS ANKLE REMOVED
GOES HOME FREEEE
When they have been lied to their whole lives, it is impossible to convince them otherwise. Let the riots start, my rifles are sighted in.
How many hours before Eric Holder charges him with civil rights violations?
“No Justice, No Peace!”
When someone says that, peaceful assembly and protest isn’t what they really are calling for.
/master of the obvious
Lean Forward = Bend Over
Amen to that. The prosecution broke so many ethics rules. It’s really a travesty.
I did not mean you.
I meant those people who would listen to their call for "no justice, no peace". They should realize that this is a socialist organization trying to stir the pot for their own agenda.
I appreciate the articles you post to Free Republic. I was just trying to expose them.
‘How many hours before Eric Holder charges him with civil rights violations?’
GOD 2DV i don’t even want to THINK about that i’m just hopin’ zimmy wins his suit against Universal...to the tune of MILLIONS....what a nightmare for that kid..!
He got justice. Deal with it.
Looks like Zimmerman might have a libel suit against this publication for calling him a murderer (false accusation of a crime).
Now let’s remind the world of what Al Sharpton is: David DuKKKe in blackface.
I’m Al Sharpton, and Obama’s my man
To make him Pres-i-dent, that is my plan.
Back in 1988, in Wappingers Falls
Mason, Maddox and I had the place wall to wall!
We found us a girl, her name was Tawana
We made the whole town one great big pinata!
We whacked it around and raised an uproar,
We ruined lives and reputations, and then even more.
Half a million dollars, Dutchess County it spent,
It paid dear for our circus, ere from it we went.
Then came Crown Heights, in 1991
My mob went wild, and boy it had fun!
The “diamond merchants” sure got a clue,
When my mob rampaged and screamed, “Kill the Jew!”
They found one, name of Yankel Rosenbaum
The brother that knifed him was no Uncle Tom.
They rioted and screamed, that was a fact
Like the Nazis did, on good old Kristallnacht.*
Four years later, we gave Whitey straight dope
Harlem’s a Black ‘hood, don’t you dare interlope.
To Freddy’s Fashion Mart, my National Action Network
Marched round and round, to drive out the white jerk.
Called him “white interloper,” and “bloodsucking Jew,”
“Greedy Jews!” and “cracker lovers!” we also threw.
We screamed epithets, camped out on his porch
Called him a cracker, said his business we’d torch.
Roland Smith was my fan, and I sure raised his ire.
At Freddy’s Fashion Mart, he set a big fire!
A Molotov cocktail, the flash of a match,
And your white-owned Jew store is a big pile of ash!
Seven people died in those hot burning flames,
A bright blazing fire that widened my fame.
Then came the scandal of Duke Lacrosse
I went down to Durham to show ‘em who’s boss.
I supported Mike Nifong, he’s my kind of man
To find them white boys guilty, that was his plan.
Something went wrong, his case was dismissed
I’m sure it was all because the courts are ra-cist.
Now here is more from me that will bring real raves,
We was building empires when whites lived in caves!
Invented philosophy, astrology, and publicity promos,
Long before Socrates and them dirty Greek homos.
Louis Farrakhan is also my man, I bet you can dig it.
Says Judaism’s a gutter religion, but I swear he’s no bigot.
Now if you want to please me and your mama
Get out on Election Day and vote for Obama!
* Kristallnacht, “Night of the Broken Glass.
TM got all the justice he deserved that night when he caught a bullet. An unprovoked attack on a person walking away, knocking him to the ground, breaking bones, pounding his head into concrete, and going for his firearm while saying “You’re going to die tonight.” Yeah, TM got justice alright. I’d have emptied my mag, all 15 hollow points, into him.
