Group offers $10,000 for US black teen's killer
AFP ^ | March 24, 2012 | AFP

A black political group offered a $10,000 reward Saturday for the killer of an African-American teenager, amid a nationwide uproar which has prompted a rethink of America's race issues. The New Black Panther Party displayed a wanted poster on its website with a picture of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin, 17, last month. "WANTED!!! For the murder of Trayvon Martin... ALIVE, not dead or harmed," the poster read. <snip>

Despite the racially charged nature of the case, Zimmerman's lawyer insisted his client was not racist. "I asked him, 'Are you a racist? Do you have anything against black people?' and he said 'No,'" Zimmerman's legal adviser Craig Sonner told CNN on Friday. "I don't see anything that indicates to me that he's a racist." Sonner said Zimmerman and his wife acted as mentors to two teenage African Americans, even after funding was cut for the program. They have also helped at a fundraiser for an African-American church, according to the lawyer. President Barack Obama has called for nationwide "soul searching" in the wake of the tragedy.

Wild horses hell! A dozen D8 Cats hooked together could not do it. You could take three months working 24/7 to couple enough diesel locomotives together and they still would not be able to do it.

If the group is successful they should be charged with kidnap

Just for starters--criminal conspiracy and RICO would be appropriate.

In fact, they ARE appropriate right now based on this solicitation to commit.

“Will NONE of them at all condemn their own people for this?”

Silly question. Don’t you know that race trumps all in the African American community? No. Make that the Black community.
But isn’t that racist?
No! It is ‘racial pride’. It is only racist if you are not Black.

La Raza won’t be interesting because poor Zimmerman is not of Mexican Hispanic descent - it’s Peruvian.

President Barack Obama has called for nationwide "soul searching" in the wake of the tragedy...and won't that go a long way in substantiating the argument that the shooter - if he ever does go to court - can't get a fair trial because of the publicity given the case by the President of the United States.......

NBC nightly news reported (like it was no big deal)

“a black activist group” renewed it’s $10,000 bounty for anyone who finds Zimmerman”.

They also reported where Zimmerman works.

Law enforcement statistics are kept for white/hispanic and white/non-hispanic to focus on the impacts of white/hispanics that were diluted by the much larger white/non-hispanic population. The lefty press loves to lump them together to give cover to the much higher crime rates in the white/hispanic group. My wife has to enter crime stats as part of her dispatch duties.

It does have the ‘feel’ of mindless mob... Of course the MSM won’t identify them as vigilantes - they reserve that hate speech for conservatives. (no double standard /s)

“An August report by the Justice Department showed that in 2005, blacks represented 13% of the U.S. population but accounted for nearly half of its murder victims. Most of the black murder victims — 93% —were killed by other black people.”

The “group” is the New Black Panthers.

Guess the Black Panthers got old.
