There was no winner of the fight that dark, rainy night in Sanford. Only degrees of losing.

When the President and the galaxy of movie stars extended their condolences to the Martin family after the verdict, we heard from them no sympathy for the defendant and his family. George Zimmerman’s life has been horribly and irreparably changed. We learn that a divorce is in progress, something not uncommon after traumas like what he and his family were put through. His loved ones at various times have been in hiding, subjected to the same death threats as George Zimmerman. The guy gets a warning for speeding in Texas and a ticket for 15 MPH over in Florida, and each time it’s national news. When I heard of the latter on CNN radio, they thought it important enough to announce it ahead of the suicide of Ariel Castro, a genuine monster of our time, which occurred in the same news period.

Trayvon Martin’s family has suffered the loss of a seventeen-year-old, his life wasted twice over. He threw it away himself on that February night – dealing drugs, planning beatings, and negotiating to illegally buy guns according to his own digital records, his liver ravaged already at seventeen by his drug abuse according to the autopsy – when he suffered a sudden, acute, and fatal failure of his victim selection process.

Massad Ayoob's articles may be the best synopsis of the Trayvon Martin/ George Zimmerman case.

(from the article): " He threw it away himself on that February night – dealing drugs, planning beatings, and negotiating to illegally buy guns according
to his own digital records, his liver ravaged already at seventeen by his drug abuse according to the autopsy
– when he suffered a sudden, acute, and fatal failure of his victim selection process."

Trayvon™ was already thrown away by his parents ..
and was missing for two days before his presence was missed by his father.
He was unsupervised by his parents ,.. and was growing up as a street thug by his interests and street affiliations .
He wasn't missed , until he had succombed ... that's beyond sad !
It was after his death , and through "social engineering" that he became St. Trayvon™ ,
by the media , politicians , the racial racketteers and professional racial grievience groups .

Yes, you turned me on to Ayoob a while ago. Very good writer. “Fatal failure in his victim-selection process.” That’s a keeper.

I'm in a permanent state of debt to Mr. Ayoob for turning my head around concerning guns. I was raised in liberal brainwash concerning them, but patiently, many years ago, article-by-article wherever I could find his writings in gun magazines (the real liberal porn - gasp!), he patiently taught me what no one else would, or could.

Thanks to him, when I finally bought my first firearm, I knew what I was doing - and most importantly, I knew I knew what I was doing - selection, operation, tactical and stratiegic considerations, practice requirements and legal aspect.

Massad, thank you.

FWIW, when Jesus Christ was 12 years old, he was missing for 3 days before his parents noticed.

Yeah and he was found teaching in the Temple.
And see ,.. how'd that turn out for him ?

[Sherman Logan]

Yup. I just always thought it was funny that they misplaced the Son of God for three days without noticing.

Actually Mary and Joseph realized Jesus was missing after one day—they had assumed that he was with their relatives and acquaintances. Presumably it took them one day to walk back to Jerusalem and they found him on the third day. The time interval between when they started back to Nazareth and when they realized he wasn’t in the caravan may have been 10 or 12 hours.
