Graffiti for Trayvon Martin case suspected in Seattle arson
KIRO TV.com (Seattle) ^ | August 12, 2013

Posted on 08/13/2013 7:03:56 AM PDT by Stoat

 

A Seattle restaurant was burned by an arsonist – and that suspect was a hooded man who left graffiti believed to reference to the Trayvon Martin case.

The fire was started about 2:15 a.m. at the corner of 23rd Avenue and East Union Street in Seattle's Central District. The first arriving engine company found flames coming from the back of the Med Mix restaurant near a storage area, and light smoke was found inside the restaurant.

On the building the arsonist used red spray paint to write, "4 Pratt and Trayv."

The owner believes that message refers to Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen killed by George Zimmerman, and Seattle civil rights leader Edwin Pratt, who was shot to death in 1969. Pratt's case is technically unsolved, though deputies believe he was killed by hitman Tommy Kirk, who was killed in a dispute later that year.

The arson caused $90,000 damage to the Med Mix Restaurant. Owner Ottmane Bezzaz said he has "no clue" as to who would do such a thing, or why he might be targeted.

Surveillance video showed a masked hooded figure who walked up with a shopping bag. He took out a paint can and sprayed the message on the building next to the restaurant. Then he poured gasoline over a fence into the Med Mix's storage area.

After using a match to light the building, the young man seen in the video runs away. Click above to watch surveillance footage of the arson, obtained only by KIRO 7.

"I don't know what message he wanted to send," Bezzaz told KIRO 7. The restaurant owner said detectives immediately recognized that these were probably references to Trayvon Martin and Edwin Pratt.

"I don't see the connection," Bezzaz said.

The owner told KIRO 7 he doesn't know what the connection is between the graffiti and his restaurant, but said he plans to rebuild.

The Seattle Police Department Arson Bomb Squad is investigating. No one was inside the restaurant at the time of the fire and there were no injuries reported

There is a video report including CCTV footage at the KIRO-TV website, linked above.

The fire was started about 2:15 a.m. at the corner of 23rd Avenue and East Union Street in Seattle's Central District.

Note to readers unfamiliar with Seattle.... the Central District is known as being a "minority/black neighborhood" in large measure, although I don't know the race of the restaurant owner.

Only 15% or so black as of 2010. Anecdotally, I have heard that even a small number of blacks increases crime and causes problems in public schools, which is why non-black flight is a recurring phenom. Nobody wants to wait until the area becomes a shooting gallery, and home prices have plunged 50% or more.

As long as the rabble rousers including Ebony Magazine remain on their current course we can expect to see these incidents become more and more prevalent.

I cant wait to hear odrama's references to "trayvon" at the mlk event.

Burning something, robbing or killing someone in Trayvon's memory is irony in its purest form.

When in doubt, ask yourself, "What Would Trayvon Do?"

I don’t know the race of the restaurant owner

:: Owner Ottmane Bezzaz ::

Let me he’p you out my brutha. By census demographics, Ottmane is “caucasian of middle eastern origin”.

In the language of the American press, he is a “WHITE-Arab” and thereby deserving of ^some^ punishment for the actions of his predecessors who (1) captured and sold slaves in the West(...well, maybe...)and, (2) his WHITE portion certainly must have OWNED slaves in the West to harvest, roast and grind his coffee....yeah, that’s it...coffee! Coffee can be the new cotton!

Cuba Libre! Viva Guevera!

Wait, what...? This thinking like a prog is confusing.

correction. Pass it on print it up
-—— Original Message -——

The truth of the Zimmerman trial.. The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..An area having a “Neighborhood Watch”. If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. Particularly a “gated” neighborhood watch.When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person they’re observing..That’s the Watch Captain’s who is really a security guard’s job. .

It’s the second time the President of the United States has interjected himself into a confrontation between those in authority on legal grounds reasonably questioned and released someone involved in a curious activity in a patrolled area. Could this attitude be based from the idealized communist concept that there is no such thing as “private” property because the state (collective) owns the land ? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3042477/posts

In both cases those representing “authority” were reported as “white” . In the second case the person working security was attacked while on private rights of way while on foot who discontinued an observation and was returing to his vehicle after being suggested by the police to do so. Legally he could have approached Saint Trayvon but didn’t..The hooded tall figure was allowed to continue on his way unimpeded. But didn’t. That figure turned out to be a Martin Trayvon who doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker as he was returing to his vehicle. Knocked him to the ground and began beating him severly. Saint Trayvon, the attacker, was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.

In the second case both were dark skined.

The facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent, to be committed . As a result racial strife by design increased.

While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3048225/posts http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3048631/posts

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is. They had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually but instead quoted the reports from various “mainlining” socialist media sources:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3053314/posts/ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3050362/posts http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051180/posts http://www.frerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3053410/posts http://www.freerepublc.com/focus/f-news/3051968/posts http://www.freerepublc.com/focus/f-news/3051525/posts

Using propaganda from the party that hypenated itself from God at their 2012 convention into demo-coms, and believe that all groups should be hyphenated , Afro-American, Hispanic-American, etc..Decided Zimmerman to be the egg that is to be broken,. sacrificed, so that we have an omlet..Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit, and Oakland California.only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3053314/posts.

Just as with the energy plan where the cost of fuel used for energy and transportation and that includes raising the price of transporting gas and oil by rail, that favors a key contributer while the regime has been recently ridiculing the impact the completion of a pipeline, has skyrocketed those costs. Placing many on fixed or limited incomes dependent on government handouts. Resulting from this regimes socialist policies which go blameless.

Now call for the sacrifice of Zimmerman who must die for another communist plan.. We all move together in centers designed and approved by comrades running the collective who (just like Obamacare aren’t in it) won’t ever live there.

What should the Rebuttal and counter charge be ?

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand ? Never looked into either by the House and certainly not even speculated about or reported on by the media. Seems like that could be considered pay back at US taxpayer expence. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ?

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment.. Pick on some security guard accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black, but his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks.

Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course white . Make that person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 165 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now put a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ?

What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? http://www.freerepublic.cpm/focus/f-news/3051588/posts

Either an example to convince local businesses to pay ‘protection’ money or an insurance scam.

$90,000 damage

Send the bill to the Rev. Aaron Williams, pastor of the nearby Mt. Zion Baptist Church, who was fanning the flames of anti-Zimmerman resentment a few weeks ago.
