David Salter: Not racist for believing in self defense
galesburg.com ^ | 26 July, 2013 | DAVID SALTER

There are many honest citizens in Knox County who think that instead of being seriously injured or killed by having his head smashed repeatedly on a concrete sidewalk by the 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, it was a good thing George Zimmerman was able to avoid that by having a gun and shooting him.

Sadly Martin died, but it would also have been a tragedy if Zimmerman had died or been permanently injured. After a fair trial Zimmerman was deemed not to have killed without oversight, a jury, a judge or a defense team but was acquitted by a jury of his peers on the grounds of self defense.

Many of us who paid little attention to the trial are now surprised to find out from Mr. Loewy that WE are the problem. According to him unless we are “brown” or want to lynch George Zimmerman, we are racists and bigots and along with George Zimmerman, the NRA, ALEC, gun owners and law enforcement in general are to be demonized. We are electrified. I guess it is we who don’t know our place.

This is the same reporter who to my knowledge has never expressed the same level of dismay over the slaughter of thousands upon thousands of other “brown” teenagers in the bloody streets of Chicago, Detroit, LA or any other once great city now ruined and ruled by liberals.

Let’s be honest: Nobody gives a flying fart about racism anymore....White people are over it and black people just pretend to care because pretending to be offended is powerful.

Self defense is racist and those who believe in such are racists...no amount of reasoning is going to change that. /s

The commies wanted a trial for Zimm.

No, they wanted a conviction for Zimm.

They already gave him a trial
in their power-addled heads.

I’m sure it can be statistically shown that if self defense were used in any inter-racial crime,

blacks would be disproportionately affected,
and therefore self defense is racist.

(Interracial violent crime stats show that these incidents are 10 to 1 black on white.)

Self Defense isn't racist but gun control sure is.

“Sadly Martin died.....”

I am not sad and I will never think it’s sad when a puke (black, white, brown or even purple) loses its useless life, during a mugging and attempted murder of an innocent citizen.

If blacks don’t like people suspecting they’re criminals they need to look at the damn statistics on crime ... anyone who doesn’t suspect a black man - or feel concern about a black man near them - can’t do math.

What gets me is that Zimmerman got blamed for "getting out of the car." The message is, he should not have gotten out of the car, because that might provoke a black man to attack.

Then the president of the United States comes out to talk about the pain of being a black man and hearing doors lock when you walk by.

Well, dude, if we aren't supposed to cower behind a locked door, but we'd better not come out of the car, what the hell are we SUPPOSED to do? I mean... not leaving us a lot of options, here.

You are exactly correct. According to current political correctness, you are guilty because you are not black.

In fact, you are guilty if you are black, and are not of the correct political opinions. For example, Clarence Thomas is not considered officially “black” because he believes in enforcing the Constitution.

What this all amounts to is, if you disagree with leftists, you have no rights, and they oppose any rule of law that constrains them.

They are angry that we oppose this insane version of a “system”.

Don’t like the reaction to the statistics?
Change the statistics...

Beware of anyone that wants to restrict your use of force to repel force,

because they foresee that they or someone acting on their behalf,
will at some time in the future use force to impose their will on you.

Cities are doing that now - they’re fudging the numbers.
