George Zimmerman’s acquittal Saturday night on all charges in the killing of a black teenager, Trayvon Martin, sparked deep emotional reactions across the country Sunday, resurrecting an intense national debate about the role of race and racism in American life.
=======================================================================
Declaring 'enough is enough' after one of the worst shooting sprees last week in Chicago, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and other civil rights leaders marched on the streets of the Windy City in protest against the wave of black-on-black crime plaguing that city, demanding tougher prison sentences for criminals -- WE INTERRUPT THIS 'TWILIGHT ZONE' EPISODE to bring you a reality-based news bulletin!Liberals are stunned and dismayed that George Zimmerman was acquitted of all false charges. The Holder Justice Department is looking into filing spurious civil rights charges against Zimmerman because he was acquitted. And because, if Obama had a son, he wouldn't look like George Zimmerman.
The three main reasons for Zimmerman's acquittal were: (1) no evidence, (2) he was innocent, (3) no evidence. There were six women on the jury but Nancy Grace was not one of them.
The Zimmerman shooting case marked the first time in history that liberals weren't claiming that the gun acted on its own.
Interestingly, when the identities of the D.C. snipers became known -- one of them named Muhammad -- libbies were quick to forgive and forget, insisting the two were just misunderstood murderers. Besides, they only intended to shoot white people. With Zimmerman, libbies couldn't wait to lynch him.
Liberals constantly lecture and harangue conservatives about the sacredness of the jury system. They wanted to try KSM before a regular jury in New York City because there's no way a jury could get it wrong. Unless libbies disagree with the verdict. Harry Reid said that since Zimmerman was acquitted the Justice Department should prosecute him and that "this isn't over with." He also said, "I support the system." Say, maybe we should look into Harry Reid's activities and prosecute him. I support the system.
From the media-manufactured 'narrative', to the assumed "facts" about the case, all crumbled in the courtroom. Short list:
-- Liberals argue hysterically that Trayvon Martin was this innocent little darling armed with nothing more than Skittles and a soda. Evidence from the prosecution's own witnesses showed the innocent little, 6'2", 160-pound lad was very busy committing battery against Zimmerman that night. Moreover, angelic Trayvon got suspended from school for possessing a burglary tool and women's jewelry. (Jesse Jackson says Trayvon "was doing all the right stuff");
-- We hear endlessly from the media that this was a tragedy all the way around. The media yammer on and on about the tragedy of the death of Trayvon Martin. Obama, a self-proclaimed "black" man, called it a tragedy yesterday because the 'self-proclaimed Hispanic' Hispanic wasn't the one who got killed. It wasn't a tragedy. This was the PREVENTION of a tragedy. It would have been tragic had Trayvon succeeded in bashing Zimmerman's head on the cement enough times to have killed him. Or if an innocent man had been convicted to appease a mob;
-- Liberals insist Zimmerman should have stayed in his vehicle while a suspicious character fitting the profile of perps plaguing the neighborhood with a rash of burglaries was allowed to roam around. Just like every good neighborhood watch captain would do. Then it turns out that Trayvon had 4 whole minutes to get away (the time between Zimmerman losing sight of Trayvon and when the innocent pacifist lad decided to batter the man he allegedly was afraid of);
-- During the 14 months before the Zimmerman incident, that neighborhood had experienced about 8 burglaries. (Out of force of habit, Janet Napolitano noted the neighborhood had never been more secure);
-- Zimmerman 'tracking' Trayvon doesn't vitiate a claim of self-defense since what matters was Zimmerman's state of mind while getting pummeled. Contrast that with Ted Kennedy's state of mind while drowning a girl and Bill Clinton raping a woman);
-- Liberals claim the Zimmerman case shows why the 'Stand Your Ground' law must be repealed. The Zimmerman case wasn't based on Stand Your Ground, principally because Zimmerman's head was being slammed against the ground;
-- The prosecutors, consisting of expert mind-readers, accused Zimmerman of being a racist. They know this because the tolerant, saintly racial healer Trayvon Martin called him a "creepy ass cracker";
The record shows an FBI investigation a year ago concluded, after interviewing 30 people, there was no evidence the shooting was caused by racial bias or hatred on Zimmerman's part, so good luck bringing "civil rights" charges against him.
Anway, that's...

There's something deeply disturbing about this refusal to acknowledge the basic right of an individual to self defense. The narrative focuses on the right to travel unimpeded, which everyone can identify with.
I would suspect that the percentage of Americans who have ever found themselves in a situation where they had a real fear of imminent death or great bodily harm is very low. Thankfully, Zimmerman's own words at trial successfully conveyed the experience of one who was.
If any profiled anyone, it was Martin profiling the “creepy ass cracker.”
The liberals are dismayed because they all but had the rope around his neck and he got away:
They pulled every trick out of their bag -- false accusations, pretentious outrage, overcharging, prefabricating, exaggerating minor details, depriving the accused of money with which to defend himself, ganging up, not allowing defenders to speak, going after his family, putting a bounty on their heads, portraying themselves as the victims as they legally gang up and beat the crap out of one lone man ......
and then to add insult to injury a multiracial jury of six women had the audacity to ignore them and vote for acquittal ....
and even when it's over and they had their kangaroo court with a kangaroo prosecution team and kangaroo judge they are even more incensed.....
Why am I not surprised.

This was a prewritten piece to continue to spread the party line propaganda.
Did I read 10,000 FBI hours devoted to this? You are correct that, in a sane world, it's a non starter. Note, I said "sane."
ALL THAT!!
I am sure you mean the WaPo article, which JH used as a springboard to his excellent commentary. Right?

Sadly, Zimmerman’s life is not worth a plug nickel. The feds or gangs will see to it he gets life in prison or murdered in a drive by. This guy will spend his days behind walls. Either government jail walls or his own home laws. He will not be able to hold a job, or go outside for fear of murder. The government and black Jessie groups will see to his death, one way or the other. Car wreck, slip and fall, drive by shooting, something. But he will die one way or the other. Maybe he kills himself. They will attempt to maybe drive him to do that because he sees absolutely no other way out. But he has few, if any, chances of surviving this. I am betting on the feds trying him under some vague law and getting the most liberal judge to handle the case.
Excellently written article! True and humorous!
My note to race baiters: I don’t care anymore. Talk to the hand. You’re on your own. I am not your problem; you are your problem. Get over your sweet selves and get a job like the rest of us slobs. Drop the ghetto, gang-banger, drug pusher culture and you’ll do much better. It’s no longer YTs fault. I’m done.
I so look forward to your essays, and was hoping you would write one on this subject.
As usual, you nailed it!
Thanks again for posting the truth in your inimitable style!

My tag line has been in code for a long time, it's not a real secret code though.
Haven't you heard ? The DOJ and the President('s staff) decide which laws to enforce, which ones not. Makes getting past little things like the Constitution really easy.
That's terrible. Imagine what kind of nation we would be if we treated our veterans that way?
I made a hot link to this one to paste into other threads. It is THAT good.
