Town Hall On Trayvon Martin’s Death Held For Broward Students
WFOR-TV ^ | September 18, 2013

Posted on 09/18/2013 5:13:40 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – A group of Broward County students attended a special town hall meeting Wednesday that focused on the death of Trayvon Martin and the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.

The panel included Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton and students were allowed to ask questions and try to find answers to help improve race relations in South Florida.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Akailah Smotherman, 17, was one of the students in attendance. She said when she learned that Zimmerman was found not guilty for the death of Martin, she had a strong response.

“It hurt. I cried; my mama cried; it hurt real bad,” Smotherman told CBS4′s Natalia Zea. “It’s an emotional feeling. It’s a kid. He’s my age. What if that happened to one of my friends, my cousin, my brother. It’s a hurting feeling and I feel for his family.”

Smotherman jumped at the opportunity to attend the town hall meeting which was held at the Whiddon-Rogers Education Center in Fort Lauderdale to hear Trayvon Martin’s mother speak......

"It ain't right that a white-hispanic man kill a brutha."

"It just ain't right...we done suffered enough."

Now if you think I am joking, I'm not. This is the attitude.

It is irrational, tribal...but it is enforced by Obama, Sharpton, and Jackson. It speaks to thousands of years of tribal behaviour.

The goal of pushing the tribal agenda is to break down Euro-centric, Judeo-Christian society...to up-end it.

Make no mistake...this is not only a class war...this is a civilizational war.

Obama and his crowd have no success stories to point to...they have nothing to which we might trade up.

But that doesn't deter them. They only know their hatred for Europeans and their colonies. They never stopped to think about how the colonial world lifted up the natives.

They are filled with hate. It is their motus operandi.

Hate, kill.

Don't worry about what will replace the things they destroy...they will take care of that. You just hate...and kill.

I guess 90%+ blacks blame Zimmerman, not knowing the facts (or, more likely, not caring about the white-ass cracka).

The ignorance and instilled hatred that is the result of a welfare mentality cannot be undone for generations to come.

When Welfare has been the bulk of "family" income for 4 generations, and public schools indoctrinate the "race-card-works" mentality, we have no reasonable chance of explaining to the un-listening.

The media stirred up the ignorant people with their lies about Zimmerman being white and racist. All these people who pretend to care about trayvon wouldn't even know his name if Zimmerman was black with a black sounding last name. He would just be another dead black kid.

We live in a world in which approximately 1/2 the population has been brainwashed into believing a lie.

They cannot be approached rationally or reasonably...they are lost to reality.

I wish I knew the answer, but I don't.

They are zombies...but they have thus far only devoured our ideas and rational thought.

What comes next? I don't know?

But it is just beginning...

By not bringing up the facts Obama and the media are getting away with murders they created

George Zimmerman Has ‘Black Roots’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2876518/posts

The purpose of this review is to urge FR’s copy and distribute it to conservative leadership in the remnants of the Republican party as well as to your favorite talk show host and force discussion .Untill the facts get “outed” black youths will be using the Zimmermam crutch

:The Dual Purposes for the “Targeting” of George Zimmerman

The truth and dual purpose behind the Zimmerman persecution .. The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..An area having a “Neighborhood Watch” and the person working security known as George Zimmerman just doing his job When he was attacked by a young black known as Martin Trayvon over a struggle for Zimmerman’s pistol..

Why was this episode politicized ?...The result was to gin up the black base for purposes explained herein but there was an original socialist agenda which is what Obama’s interjection was about .But exemplifies the cliche “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. if that socialist approach could be called “good” for US.

If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts, refered to here as “talkies” many of which are lawyers had interviewed guests who run such watches and had the courage to fight PC and defend Zimmerman they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are.

The few who are still “milking this” by accepting black callers.unfortunately were allowing those callers to mis-state the facts such as as Martin was the “victim,” was “stalked,” where Martin was “stopped”,and “questioned” when there was no legal right to do so,then “killed in cold blood” as these assertions developed. They left those callers responses unquestioned and unchallanged as examples of what the thinking was. Which was a gross mistake.

If any of the of the youthful perpetrators of these racial crimes, some listed below, were asked. They would undoubtably claim they believe all those assertions were true. That so far has never come up because most of them have not yet gone to trial but sooner or later some good defence lawyer will bring this up as a defence issue.. Instead the “talkies” failed to cite the simple facts outlined and documented here, and allowed the callers miss-conceptions to go unchallanged..

Talk show hosts could have gone even deeper citing examples of policy and corruption even suggest that might be the reason for divertining attention from other problems but theyu didn’t. . Let alone ask callers what has Obama done for you? Or even warn them as unfortunately being used and deliberately mis-informed

Worse yet the Zimmerman incident is still considered as another Roman circus set up by the regime to divert attention from other problems and not understood as a socialist divisionary tactic. Leaving this socialist tactic unquestioned and unchallanged and the truth unrevealed by the political opposition.

By not responding the present Republican leadership have ceded two key demographic groups; black, amd “hispanic,” to what the opposition refuses to call socialist let alone “demo-coms” known formerly as democrats. For what they are today. Hence the term “demo-coms” which could isolate them of course would be lothe to be used by the RINOS and members of the “ruling elite”.

..THE DEFENCE OF ZIMMERMAN

Neighborhood watch areas particularly a “gated” neighborhood watch is an area which is posted as such and guarded. When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person they’re observing..That’s the Watch Captain’s who is really a security guard’s job.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3054721/posts

It was the second time the President of the United States has interjected himself into a confrontation between those in authority on legal grounds reasonably questioned and released someone involved in a curious activity in a patrolled area. Could this attitude be based from the idealized communist concept that there is no such thing as “private” property because the state (collective) owns the land ? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3042477/posts and was the primary purpose of selecting this episode to paint a target on Zimmerman’s back http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3054815/posts

In both cases those representing “authority” were reported as “white” . In the second case the person working security was attacked on private rights of way while on foot who discontinued an observation and was returing to his vehicle after being suggested by the police to do so. Legally he could have approached Saint Trayvon but didn’t..The hooded tall figure was allowed to continue on his way.unimpeded. But didn’t. That figure turned out to be a Martin Trayvon who doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker as he was returing to his vehicle. Knocked him to the ground and began beating him severly. Saint Trayvon, the attacker, was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.

The facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent, to be committed .While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights.

It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3048225/posts http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3048631/posts

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites and “hispanics” who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is. Other forms of media particularly the black media had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually. But instead quoted the reports from various “mainlining” socialist media sources: Some examples here all of which serve the first purpose of selecting Zimmerman as the target.

What is the result ? Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury and some cases stalked their white victims. In reality those victims are martyrs to the cause of American socialism., and the political opposition says nothing..

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF PAINTING THE TARGET LIES IS A SOCIALIST AGENDA

Throughout this time with innocents being murdered because of the inflamatory rhetoric composed of lies and missconceptions being driven. Obama never disassociated himself from it nor discouraged it. Using the propaganda generated the party had discarded any of its former FDR social moorings when it hyphenated itself from God at their 2012 convention from democrat into demo-coms, and believe that all groups should be hyphenated , Afro-American, Hispanic-American, etc..

Decided Zimmerman to be the egg that is to be broken,. sacrificed, so that we have an omlet which follows tactics advocated by socialist adhearants...Just like Stalin did to the Ukrainian land owners known as Kulacks whom he executed, (and used that egg example) in a soclal engineering plan to organize collectives during a Russian drought..

Because as we have learned there seems to be the intention to use a collective data base to create collectives.where a utopia of uniforimity of conformity exists. As was done in Detroit, and Oakland California.only this time a poor whitey or blacky won’t be able to move. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3053314/posts.

Just as with the energy plan where the cost of fuel used for energy and transportation and that includes raising the price of transporting gas and oil by rail, that favors a key contributer (Buffett) while the regime has been recently ridiculing the impact the completion of a pipeline, has skyrocketed those costs.

Placing many on fixed or limited incomes dependent on government handouts. Resulting from this regimes socialist policies which go blameless. Now call for the sacrifice of Zimmerman who must die for another communist plan.. We all move together in centers designed and approved by comrades running the collective who (just like Obamacare aren’t in it) won’t ever live there.

THE RESULT. UNINTENDED? PERHAPS ...BUT NEVER CHALLANGED

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job.

Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks, and legal to question anyone of blue, red, green,white, or black complexion as to their purpose being there. Who discontinued a surveilance after being suggested to do so by the police. Who could have legally questioned the person under surveilance but allowed him to continue on his way uncontested. Only to have that person undersurveilance knock the guard to the ground beating his head against the sidewalk wind up getting killed over a struggle the guards gun.as the guard was returning to his vehicle. .

Now call that surveilance stalking, The area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid a “victim” and a saint. Not six foot two 160 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. .

Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts

To date the political opposition known as Republican has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates. Time to ask them why ?

The Republican leadership was given the opportunity as they have in the past,while running the 2012 campaigns for Senate, House, and President an opportunity to spell out what was in Obamacare but didn’t http://www.theusmat.com/ or even mention Democrats had refused any reference to God in the Democratic at their 2012 convention .

Or comment on the the “Gated Community” episode which was used to furthur hyphenate; black from “hispanic,” from “white” Americans, which included Jews. Thus discarding the American Melting Pot history in favor of the socialist agenda.

By doing this the demo-coms created a unconsionable use of the security guard incident to furthur their socialist agenda. That has resulted in martyrs because of its inflamatory assertions.. Which the political opposition ignores while claiming to search for “demographics” in other directions. Any the Republican “establishment has stood by and said and did nothing.

Time to ask them why ?
