Jesse Jackson's Odd Complaint: Trayvon Martin Denied Jury of His Peers
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/14/2013 5:17:53 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Appearing on MSNBC this morning, Jesse Jackson condemned the Zimmerman verdict as a "tremendous miscarriage of justice." It is a mark of Jackson's misconception of just what constitutes justice that chief among his complaints was that Trayvon Martin was denied a jury of his peers because there were no African-Americans or men on it.

But—as Jackson is apparently unaware—the Constitution provides that it is the accused, not the possible victim, who is entitled to an impartial jury [in fact the Constitution nowhere speaks of a jury of peers].

I well remember blacks in this country celebrating the acquittal of OJ Simpson, a man that clearly got away with murder. One would have thought that it was actually Independence Day. Few blacks questioned the verdict: it was simply OJ sticking it to “The Man”. Today justice is finally served with the not-guilty verdict in the Zimmerman trial, and the endless parade of race-obsessed malcontents squeal like stuck pigs.

We’ll do it your way Jessee Jackass. From now on, if a black male is charged with raping a white female, the white female has a right to have an all white female jury.

The Race Industry, the Obama Administration, and the Main Stream Media forced this farce of a trial on the tax payers to satisfy their progressive agenda to divide the people, and that was going to happen regardless of the Zimmerman verdict.
Mission Accomplished and Jesse Jackass, naturally, is driving the wedge and pocketing the coin.

‘Deformation of Character’ against this guy (Jesse Jackson) is just not possible, he fills in all the blanks for you.
How can you defame that which doesn’t exist?
Blistering Egit.

It means ‘just say no’ to Jeb Bush in 2016.

Trayvon was denied a jury of his peers that would consider criminal activity normal behavior for a black teenage thug.

The point is, the constitution says the accused has the right to a jury of his peers, that would be GZ not TM. Jackson is not very bright but he seems to get away with it because nobody has the nerve or integrity to point this out to him.

Very good analysis.

I submit for us to look deeper into Progressive’s SOP will show “they” the progressives are the super-bigots because they hold minorities separated with implied promise of super-justice, when in fact the progressive’s only purpose is to enslave them for the Progressive’s own power.

The ethnic European Progressives, Elitists if you will, do not and will not share power with their power-base minorities. The Progressives ARE smart enough to know better.

Progressive’s minorities in general desire Top Dog status, not equality.

The George Zimmerman case is an open demonstration by Blacks to coalesce their place at the top and power before it fades further with nobama’s downhill slide.

The race-whores such as Jesse, are akin to your 14 yo demanding the keys, all the credit cards and for you to sit in the backseat and shut the f-— up while they tear-ass at 90 MPH having their good time. Of course the holderites, like your 14 yo have no clue or care about the wastes, the dangers or the future, that is not in their culture.

Isn’t it Jackson himself who said that seeing young, black men on a street corner “made him nervous,” that he would cross a street to avoid them, that black shopkeepers should lock their doors against them, etc., etc.?

Was that a different ‘Reverend Jesse Jackson’?

As it turned out, Jesse’s admonition to “stay out the bushes” has an ironic ring of truth to it. With the diminishing exception of W, the Bushes like the Klintoons or Kennedys are not our friends.

Potential jurists included: 6 BM, 11 BF, 17 W H or Asian Males, 23 W H or Asian Females. Prosecutor and Defense Attorneys have ability to pick & choose the final 6.

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can’t walk down our own streets, how humiliating.” -— Jesse Jackson

Peers? Does he mean the jury needed some dope-using racist thugs?
