'That's justice for Trayvon': Angry mob beats man for telling them to stop playing basketball...
The London Daily Mail ^ | April 24, 2012

An angry mob of youngsters brutally battered a man who told them to stop playing basketball outside his home - and allegedly then told him 'that's justice for Trayvon'. Matthew Owens was hit with bricks, chairs, pipes and paint cans on his own Mobile, Alabama, front porch by 20 people on Saturday night after complaining about the noise.

Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, claimed the group attacking her white brother were all African-American as she told wkrg.com: 'It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed.'

And she alleged that, as they walked away leaving him badly bruised and bleeding on the ground, one of them then said: 'Now that's justice for Trayvon'. The slur was, she said, in reference to the unarmed black 17-year-old allegedly gunned down in February by white neighbourhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida.

The killing has left America on a racial knife-edge.

A growing digital lynch mob of Twitter users is calling for street justice against Zimmerman, who has gone into hiding, and advocating he be murdered.

Some have even threatened to kill the neighbourhood watch volunteer themselves....

I’m hoping a FRiend in DFW knows of some way for us to get there. There are problems in Dallas but it’s so big you can avoid them. Biloxi/Gulfport is too small for that. We are maybe 600 feet from a new super Wal-Mart and the only indoor mall in the area. I assume that looters will be here like flies on honey, not to mention my neighbors who somehow don’t have to work, even though most are able-bodied and younger than I am...

There is no justification for what these adults did to him.

But, it would not surprise me if we find out the "kids" told their parents a very exaggerated version of the event.

No doubt Dear Leader will pardon them if they’re ever somehow tried and convicted. I actually expect him to pardon each and every black individual in the US prison system if he loses to Gov. Romney.

“How many more “That’s Justice for Trabon”s do we need to endure to balance the books?”

Those books will never be balanced. Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obamma and the entire “media” will see to that.

“There’s an edge in the air across the country.”

It’s palpable in the Chicago area.

“I have personal insight into this incident. It had nothing to do with kids playing basketball or racial slurs.

Several neighborhood kids were going into his neighbors yard and carports who were away. He told the kids to put the items back and get off the neighbors property.

The kids left. Several minutes later, numerous cars pulled up and the occupants set upon Mr. Owens. The group consisted of adult male and females and children.

As they were leaving they were overheard sayin “This is for Travon”

The press has “their” stories wrong and need to correct it and stop trying to paint in a way to allow for justification of attempted murder against Mr.Owens.”

No, the race-baiters and America-haters have manufactured this opportunity to increase their power.

Someone should thank the ADL, which is joining in the screams about justice for Trayvon.

They should also thank “America’s Rabbi”, Smuley Boteach, who is shamelessly licking the Martin family butt and holding them up as a shining example.

Never thought I’d see the day.

The 380 can be loaded to roughly equivalent to a 38spc. You don’t get the bullet weight, but there are compensations.

I just heard late afternoon on the Scott Schnitt Show (he follows Rush for three hours, WFLA radio) that another witness to the racial slur has come forward. This one, fortunately, is no relation to the victim.

It's awful but I'm relieved to hear it.

"The killing has left America on a racial knife-edge."

No, the race-pimp "Rev-runnnnnnnns" have built a false knife edge and placed their walking targets on it.

This is not going to end well for certain disgruntled folks...
