MSNBC’s Dyson Blasts Justice System: ‘Zimmermans Of The World’ Get Away w/ ‘Killing Of Our Children’
Mediaite ^ | July 9, 2013 | Noah Rothman

On Tuesday, Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson told MSNBC’s Martin Bashir that he believes, if the racial distinctions were reversed in the case against George Zimmerman for the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin, the public’s reaction to the cases would be dramatically different. He added that the “George Zimmermans of the world continue to get away” with “the killing of our children” without facing justice.

Dyson began by lamenting the course of court proceedings in which, he said, Martin was “dying again the death of a thousand qualifications, which is what our legal system is about.”

“I don’t have much faith in the processes here, because it doesn’t really speak — they don’t really speak to the issues that are being raised here,” he continued.

Dyson said that, if Zimmerman is acquitted of murder charges, “then the children of poor and people of color in this country do not have the same quality of justice as given to those who are able to muster up resources and defend themselves against such a charge.”

Dyson said that Zimmerman was only arrested and charged in the first due to the public “outcry,” leaving him with little hope that a jury would find him guilty. “Part of the moral victory was getting him into the courtroom to be subject to criminal proceedings to begin with,” Dyson added.....

Dear Eric the Stupid...

The entire weight and machinery of the state was brought to bear on Zimmerman and that isn’t enough for you?

The Martin family shakedown crew has had the unlimited resources of the State. Mr. Zimmerman certainly has not.

Chicago had 75 murders of black men over the 4th holidays.

Somehow Bashir and MSNBC managed to miss that info.

And .. as for Zimmerman .. if some druggie was sitting on me punching and pounding on me .. there’s no way I would care what color they were; or even what gender they were .. because gender and color had nothing to do with it.

What is the ratio of innocent white people killed by blacks compared to the number of innocent blacks killed by white people. I don’t mean to suggest that Trayvon was in anyway innocent.

Dude, you can't get a "moral victory" because your position is completely immoral.

Maybe he hasn't read this: black on white violence in Trayvon name.

Or maybe he has, and just figures it's cool...

Given a lack of any evidence at all that he initiated the encounter, I would certainly and absolutely support a 29-year-old black neighborhood watch captain who shot a 17-year-old white kid who was on top of him smashing his nose and pounding his head into the concrete.

“dying again the death of a thousand qualifications, which is what our legal system is about.”

Don't worry, Mikey, the vigilante justice you dream of is just around the corner, but it's not going to work out the way it does in your affirmative action-deluded dreams.
