Zimmerman’s prosecution: Vigilante justice? (Rubin)

Washington Post ^ | July 5, 2013 | By Jennifer Rubin

[Were you aware that the event actually occurred three weeks before the national media started their reporting.]

Only because I grew up in Orlando and my brother brought it to my attention.

Another Republican governor and attorney general who couldn’t stand up to the progressive race baiters

This story gets curiouser and curiouser as "Sundance", one of the crew at Conservative Treehouse details his work digging into this case. Scroll down a few pages at the link. Attorney General Bondi was a State Prosecutor at that time.

Pam Bondi has a long-standing personal and professional relationship with Benjamin Crump from her prior work in the Martin Lee Anderson wrongful death case. Bondi was State prosecutor and Crump was the Anderson family attorney who sued the State and County governments for $7.4 million on behalf of his client, Mrs. Anderson (Martin’s mother).

"It WAS a local story...for three weeks."

And it should have stayed that way - how many second-degree murder charges - not involving celebrities - become national news?

The only reason this went national is because it fit libs stereotypes about crime - that nothing has changed in 50 years and that whites are given a blank check to murder blacks. AND that black-on-white crime does not exist, or is not worth mentioning.

"Revenge is what they want"

Tray's absent parental units need a criminal conviction to get another civil payday.

This Pam?

Republican politicians in this day and time can be counted on to cave.

That's why I blame so much of America's ills on the uninformed Republican primary voters who have made poor nominations for so long now, often nothing more than name ID as the basis for their poor selections.

Evidently.

You are right. Bump your post. And the most awful moment, even with a time of awful moments, was when the president of the US injected his own racism into the trial with, “If I had a son...” Most distressing. And we’re so far gone, we don’t even realize what Obama did...

On March 5, 2012, Natalie Jackson called Ryan Julison and Ryan Julison called Matt Gutman. The rest is race hoax history. http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/06/30/how-and-why-the-media-got-it-so-wrong-the-zimmerman-case-packaged-and-sold-by-ryan-julison-benjamin-crump-natalie-jackson/

Excellent and informative link.

After a career in advertising, I'll say this about the Public Relations field: While there are honorable and professional practitioners pursuing honorable and professional objective for honorable and professional clients, the PR trade is also rife with a disproportionate number of slimeballs.

Scruples and integrity can be in very short supply in the PR trade. I blame this condition on the lack of scruple and integrity found in the PR practitioner's primary market -- the media itself. If you're attempting to influence slimeballs, you have to adapt to their frame of reference.

Unfortunately, Ryan Julison is pretty much standard issue in the PR trade.
