Why the Leftist outrage at the acquittal of George Zimmerman?

Gun Watch ^ | 19 July, 2013 | John Jay Ray

There is an illustrated list of Leftist and media reactions here.


"It’s 2013 and an American jury just acquitted a man who admitted to stalking and killing an unarmed child" — Richard Dreyfus, actor

I think you can see why in the face above.  That face is expressing glee  -- barely restrained delight.  The slightest hint that America is unjust is manna from heaven for Leftists.  They  build their self-esteem on being wiser and more compassionate than "the masses".  And given America's black/white tensions, a chance to see others as racist is not to be missed.  It is America's most powerful form of condemnation so any chance to use it must be used even if it is only remotely justified. 

It's pathetic that people need to condemn others in order to boost their own self-esteem but that's Leftists.  They never cease finding fault.

I note however that many of the commentators refer to the 6' tall Martin as a "child".  So the constant media use of pictures of Martin when he was a child may have misled some commentators in an important way.  It would have made it less plausible that Zimmerman acted in self-defense.

Well hell, if Richard (Dick) Doofus said it, it must be true. I think I’ll join the Saint Trayvon bandwagon.

The 'psychology' of the left is a series of irrational contradictions played out to their most destructive ends.

In a situation like that, don’t let ‘em get close.

There are learnable and usable tactics to stay far enough away from them, even as they are pressing.

Of course, if they press you, you may have to actually display or get ready to display.
“I don’t want to have to shoot you, but I’m armed, and if you take another step toward me, I will consider it a deadly threat.”

“Liberalism” is the political expression of Humanism,
which began with the lie
“you will be as gods [unto yourselves], knowing [and defining] good and evil [right and wrong] [for yourselves]”

[BykrBayb]

Well that’s certainly playing fair.

[MrB]

The main thing, though, is to make sure they don't get close.

"Interview":
Don't let 'em come close enough to ask for a light or directions or anything.

Well, if Saint Rachel Corrie is a pancake, what is Saint Trayvon?

> His best work was American Graffiti, playing a dipshit.

Because it required no acting skills. He just played himself...

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Conservatives have a double golden opportunity right now, to loudly proclaim to Hispanics-Latinos that every single liberal Democrat attacking Zimmerman racially despises Hispanics-Latinos; and that conservative Republicans are Zimmerman’s strongest supporters.

Hey, Hispanics-Latinos, think about *that* when you vote.

The anti-gun left is trying to say that NONE of us have the right to walk around our own neighborhoods, whether armed or not armed. If we see someone suspicious, we're expected to run and cower like they would do. They are merely trying to make things easier on their career-criminal and gangsta buds and bros by either disarming law-abiding citizens, or by making us too "afraid" to do anything to try to curb the crime problems in our own area.

The anti-gun left in America can go straight to Hell.

F U Dreyfus. Yet another Hollyweird Hasbeen that insists on opening his piehole and effectively pissing off half of America with his leftist-agenda-driven stance.

[XenaLee]

“His best work was American Graffiti, playing a dipshit.”

What made you think he was playing (acting)? Now we know.

[MrB]

They need to be asked the question, over and over again, and be made to answer before spouting any more drivel -

What is it you want to do to us that requires we be unable to resist?

[Gaffer]

You have a valid point

[GSWarrior]

My experience is that many Liberals privately are okay with the verdict as such. It is the so called liberal “leaders” and “activists” and “media pundits” who continue this charade because they have painted themselves into a corner and are not about to admit that the Zimmerman case is not the civil rights watershed moment they hoped. So they continue to push the Zimmerman as racist thug narrative. No facts, no jury finding is going to change their notions of reality.

[Stentor]

Don’t get fixated by the accompanying verbal tirade either, this is done as a measure to mentally “stun” you while they close the gap.

What do you think of that? Anything to add or subtract?

I need to remember to read everything before posting.

"If I mouth all of the politically-correct platitudes and make an ostentatious display of my superiority, perhaps the young lady to my left would let me remove her dress..."

I think you have revealed the core values of modern liberalism - although more than half the time it's the young boy parking the cars they are really after. :)

[XenaLee]

“What is it you want to do to us that requires we be unable to resist?”

I think it’s pretty obvious what they want us to do. Bow down, give in, submit or be killed.

We have a black racist president and a black racist attorney general. The left has to do something to convince blacks that they are still being held back by whitey.
