Is Team Obama that stupid, or did this just get away from them?

In some ways the Zimmerman case resembles the O. J. Simpson murder case. With OJ the evidence, though circumstantial, clearly point at OJ being the killer. However OJ walked as a mostly Black jury was not convinced of his guilt. The Black community felt vindicated that brother OJ was not convicted by the white man's justice and that OJ was an innocent victim. The white community felt frustrated as they knew OJ was likely the murderer and was not convicted because of a racially motivated jury. Note however there were no calls for a bounty on OJ or that he should be executed by street mobs of white people.

Flash forward to the Zimmerman case. There is likely little evidence that Zimmerman is guilty of murder and based on eye witness testimony may well have been acting in self defense. Unless the jury is all Black, I doubt there will be a conviction and Zimmerman could walk. The Black community whipped to a frenzy by race hustlers will of course say this was a miscarriage of justice, that the probably mostly white jury was racially motivated in their decision. There will be mob violence and Zimmerman will fear for his life from Black vigilantes.

Now in these cases with what racial group is there race based component in the outcomes? When Jackson and especially Sharpton cry racism they better look in the mirror to see who are the real racists.

The public is not stupid. No matter how many times the news media tells them George Zimmerman is guilty, most will believe that he acted in self-defense. And the public knows we have a problem with violent crime in this country, regardless of the race of the perpetrators. Most of the public will wonder if this Administration really cares about their safety.

I suppose they are that stupid. They have convinced themselves that Bitter Clingers are a small remnant and most of the country actually agrees with them.

I suspect they are about to learn differently.

The Messiah isn't stupid. I think what happened is that his ego overrode his mouth.

Now Holder, however, is a different story. He seems to be doing everything possible to provoke a showdown with congress, so he can use the "I'm being attacked because I'm black" maxim.

Obama also implied that he shares the liberal perspective that America is a country where black kids must walk in daily fear of white racist vigilantes.

As if white kids could walk the same streets and not be nervous of being assaulted by "black yutes"

statistic wise, whites are the victims of black criminals(whether robbery, murder, rape etc.) by a greater percentage than average population would indicate. And white on black vigilantism is the rarest by far..

But then, the truth never gets in the way of a good story....

It is Jesse Jackson and the Black Caucus crying that Trayvon was "hunted down like a rabid dog in the street," that he was "murdered and martyred," that it was a "hate crime."

That is almost identical to what the MORMON church claims about Joseph Smith's death!

But from what the pubic knows, a charge of second-degree murder, which carries a sentence of 25 years to life, does not seem to stand up.

I think the pubic knows that a 25 years to life is a really stiff sentence.
