Is anybody else out there as sick and tired as I am of lynch mob racists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (vide: Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse kids) who don the mantel of the “civil rights” movement to indict non-blacks in advance of the facts, and incite racial rage against them? Yet that is exactly what they – and scores of black leaders — are doing to an Hispanic individual named George Zimmerman. Along with a cast of thousands, they are holding him guilty of racism before the fact, justifying a hatred, as inflammatory as the hatred once spewed by southern crackers against blacks.
There is no evidence whatsoever that race was a defining factor in the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. Notwithstanding the absence of evidence, this unhappy incident is now the occasion for school shut-downs, mass marches and public death threats by enraged African Americans, displaying behaviors reminiscent of the lynch mobs that were once a scourge of their parents’ generation in a now rejected past.
The facts surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin have not been investigated and are still uncertain. But the lynch mob has delivered its verdict: George Zimmerman is guilty of a race crime; Trayvon Martin was killed because he was black. “Trayvon is the Emmett Till of our generation,” said one mob leader, referring to the 12-year-old who was murdered by white racists in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.
There is no verifiable evidence for this fact-challenged, inflammatory, claim. According to the lone eyewitness to come forward, it was Martin who attacked Zimmerman and was on top of him and beating him to a pulp when the fatal shot was fired. The fact that Zimmerman’s face was bloody when the police arrived, is an apparent corroboration of this version of the event. Is this what happened? We don’t know. But it is a claim that should get tested in a court of law. Unfortunately to a lynch mob the evidence is irrelevant, the conclusion foregone.
If the demonstrators were merely calling for an investigation that would be proper. But the cries for retribution, and the accusations of racism, which dominate the public demonstrations are not. And that goes for the statement of the President as well. Not willing to be separated from his racial constituency, even when they are behaving badly, Obama has lent his prestige to the insinuation that the crime was inspired by the victim’s race. Otherwise there would be no reason to mention the fact that “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.” Everyone who has a son should be concerned by the loss of this life. By making it racial, the president is establishing guilt without evidence, and indicting non-black America as well.
The display of racial outrage over this case is a national disgrace. It is a throwback to the past and a shameful repudiation of the values the civil rights movement once stood for but apparently does no longer.

Was Trayvon on a 10-day suspension from school for assaulting a bus driver? Seems important to me.
I hope George Zimmerman gets a huge settlement like the Dule Lacrosse players and Richard Jewell. I personally hope he gets Millions from Al and Jesse.
Its a whole lot too late to be lamenting the fact that this situation has been hijacked to great purpose by the poverty pimps and welfare plantation management team. Now all that remains is to see how this plays out. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt there’s going to be much in the way of blood in the streets. And that’s a shame really; this thing needs to be played out to its natural conclusion with the disolution of the U.S. and the individual States free to go their own way.
Horowitz nails it, except that the initial investigation was done. I saw this on dateline last night, and they framed the debate to make the question about racism instead of determining what the facts were about the claim of self defense.
Communist agitator shit stirrer Obama couldn’t resist.
He gave a wink and a nod to Sharpton.
No way in he’ll is this guy getting a fair trial. Holder is looking to charge with hate crimes.
Our federal government is run by f-ING goons.
Well said....I would HOPE that ONE State would take the lead, and say "ENOUGH!".
Where would the USSC stand on the issue of "State's Rights", as intended by the Founders?
I'm afraid the black-robed gutless Appointee's would NOT take the side of We The People, but would Rule to protect their Legal brethren and the Power that put them in their jobs, as always.
The only real hope that this country has is if 20-30% of minority voters finally realize what the hypocritical liberals are doing. The liberals herd minorities for the last three generations into dysfunctional urban public schools. This keeps people uneducated and easily manipulated. Of course liberals like Obama and Rahm Emmanuel “choose” good private schools for their kids but deny empowering vouchers to others. They fund Planned Parenthood clinics in minority neighborhoods to actually kill minorities and keep their numbers down. They buy off stooges like Sharpton and Jackson to serve as “leaders”. Someday these hypocritical liberals will be held accountable for their crimes against the people.
These marginal, uncouth, quick-to-judgement, chip-on-the-should racist street idiots on the political periphery better realize really quickly they they can only push the envelope too far, and then they are going to be amazed at what the decent, and heretofore very benevolent and patient Majority of Americans (of all races) is going to do in counter-response. They are liable to snap! and say "enough of this!". This is what we call Backsplatter and it ain't necessarily going to be pretty and I for one do not want America to have to go through it. I realize their desperation and lack of cool over 2012--their prospect of losing the election with Obama, but truly they have to know the limits. The more level-headed and tactical of their leaders will know the point has been reached and will try to quell them down. By that time, the whole movement may be out of control, co-opted by hordes of lawless bands of street thugs, and then it is anybody's guess how bad it will spin out of control. We need some adults to step forward and put this on a much more civil, intellectual rather than mob rule level. I know there are some men and women who see the big picture and could do this only if they could muster the courage. Time may be running out.
Agreed. Just what exactly was that suspension for?
Hey Sharpton, Jackson, NBPP, et al.....listen up, you a**holes. When you start decrying black-on-white crime in the same way and with the same ferocity, you just might earn a smidgen of credibility.
Don’t EVEN ask for examples; we’d bury the servers here on FR with ‘em.
God forgive me for how much I loathe this racist scum.
Meanwhile, I who have posted here for years and am a military vet get banned for a few days for posting Trayvon FB photos with the N word on them and posting what it said. If anything this incident has brought out of the woodwork the non-conservative sheeple that throw in with the black panthers, al sharptons, and libtards. A learning experience for me indeed.
All of the coverage in Miami is painting this kid as an angel, and NO ONE is reporting about Trayvon’s past...or the reports that say Trayvon was beating Zimmerman.
This is a textbook example of journalistic malpractice.
So....an Hispanic American kills a ‘Brother’, who was bashing hispanic/german American Zimmermans head against the sidewalk( and ultimately broke Zimmermans nose), dies when the shooter manages to pull his licensed pistol which the dead guy was trying to take from him. it goes off killing the hoodie wearing, pants on the ground, thug....and the media pulls out picures of the dead ‘brother’ from 10 years earlier like he was a sweet baby. and Sharpton and the left make THIS a cause celeb to ban guns?
EFFF U Al, and your media lackies too....
As far as those 911 calls, notice that they don't mention how many of those turned into an arrest? Why don't they look into those police reports to see how many were valid? As a neighborhood watch captain, I would hope he would make calls when he thought something didn't look right. In a Florida neighborhood I once lived in, you could easily make a call a day.
....and there are one hell of a lot more of "us" than "them". They would do well to remember that.
according to yesterday’s NY Post...
April 22, 2011: Reports “black male, 7 to 9 years old with skinny build, “ walking around the neighborhood.
Aug 3, 2011: Calls in a black male he “believes is inolved in recent burglaries in the neighborhood.”
Aug 6, 2011: Fingers two black teens he thinks “have been burglarizing homes in this area.
Oct 1, 2011: Reports two black males, approximately 20 to 30 years old, whom he does not recognize. He says he’s “concerned due to recent burglaries in the area.”
Feb 2, 2012: Drops dime on a black male because it is “unknown what he is doing.”
