The audacity of making this an issue with all of the black on black killings and general criminality of blacks shows we aren’t and never have been dealing with people of good faith, i.e. democrats. They have no ethics or morals. They’re pre-muslims.

“The shooting death of a 17-year-old is horrible, whatever the circumstances”

No. Not really.

The media spin is atrocious, and the idiot-in-chief is fanning the flames of race-baiting. When a Muslim American soldier went on a shooting rampage on a U.S. base, Obama demanded that Americans not rush to judgement on the shooter. Imagine that, that shooter went on a cold-blooded shooting rampage that killed innocent unarmed Americans on our soil, and Obama defended him.

But because the shooter in this case has a white Jewish name, is a former altar boy, and the deceased is a black punk, Obama is extremely quick to judge the shooter. This country is going to hell with Obama in the White House.

I’d like to know how many 17 year-old black kids have been murdered by other black kids (or adults) in the week or so since George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.

Where is the outrage, the presidential commentary, the Jackson/Shatpton race pimping, the NBPP reward posters, the media hyping and all the rest of this noise for those dead kids? Whose marching for them?

If a 17 year old thug comes after a man who had his back turned, and the man shoots him out of self defense,then it isnt really horrible.
But the answer to the main question is NO

A lot of the progressive agenda and their view of conservatives is explained in this New York Times Article.

A young man of 17 isn’t a “Kid” or a “child”. Unless things have changed he’s old enough to join our military with parental permission. On his next birthday he’ll be old enough to vote, sign contracts and be subject to adult law.
It’s almost impossible to avoid the story. Most imply that he was chased down and shot in cold blood. I’ve only heard it mentioned twice in passing (on NBC’s Good Morning America) that Zimmerman had a broken nose and an injury to the back of his head.

The audacity of making this an issue with all of the black on black killings and general criminality of blacks shows we aren’t and never have been dealing with people of good faith

Doing the arithmetic with a 1990's Scientific American article on "stranger murders" (about 25% of murders were then being assigned to perps of "unknown ethnicity" -- which was a dodge big-city crime statisticians were using to avoid admitting that the perps were black), and using the then-current annual murder rate, which was about 25,000 murders per year, I got some interesting answers.

One, examining the breakdown of assailants by race in other violent-crime categories (the magazine was using DoJ/FBI stats), it could be observed that the "unknown" murderers were most probably 90% black.

Two, this being so, it meant that a) 90% of black murder victims were killed by young black men, b) 50% of non-black murder victims (mostly white) were being killed by young black men, amounting to (rounded) 6,000 black-on-white murders per year.

The sum total of all black persons lynched between 1866 and the last one in 1962 was a little over 4700.

So who is the aggrieved party, in the matter of race crime?

Three, the stats mean that half of the black population -- black men -- are responsible for about 75% of all murders annually. If you narrow it down some more, the portion of the black male population that is at large and in the age group responsible for the bulk of the criminality in the black community, is about 1/4 (WAG) of the black population, which is about 12% of the whole country.

So 3% of the People are committing 75% of the murders.

And Zimmermann was out of line seeing that teenaged black athlete, out walking the streets in the middle of the night in a black hoodie, as some kind of threat?

It’s surreal. White guilt is a canard. It’s actually liberal white guilt. Unfortunately, they’ve taken over everything while the white conservatives were busy working at real jobs.

Is it just me, or does it look and sound like the progressives / liberals / welfare pimps / New Black Panther Party / etc. are all just hoping there is even a hint of racism here so they can exploit it??? Even if there’s not, they will try to exploit it anyway.

Now, you tell me where the real racism is!!!

Facts don’t matter in pursuit of the agenda.

Facts don't matter, truth doesn't matter, lives don't matter ... nothing matters but the pursuit of the goal, which is Communism, make no mistake.

NBC Nightly News did many stories on this; in one, the reporter said that the 17-year-old was “gunned down...” Nice. That surely promotes cool heads and clear thinking. /s

I noticed that a long time ago.

If the “powers what is” really wanted to fight crime they wouldn’t waste their time with guns and gun owners, they’d draft or intern all the young black males, who, statistically, are far more likely to commit violent crimes than lawful gun-owners.

Of course we can’t really do this, freedom and individual rights must remain paramount, but it does show how absurd Gun Control really is.
