George Zimmerman takes a victory lap over Trayvon Martin’s grave

Trayvon Martin is the Horst Wessel of our sick and evil culture. Just as the Nazis had their Horst Wessel Lied in tribute to the thug, Horst Wessel, I have performed a Trayvon Martin Lied for the...hero or our sick culture, Trayvon Martin.

Will they still be hearkening back to Jim Crow, lynchings and the KKK two hundred years from now?

It's all they have.....

Born in Macon, Hose had moved to Atlanta and then Newnan in search of work. Here he found employment with Alfred Cranford a wealthy local white resident.

As the story goes after more than a year a dispute arose over money owed to Hose by Cranford. Cranford secured a gun, became enraged at Mr. Hose and threatened him. Hose took an ax and threw it at Cranford and ran. Papers blared the details of the “murder,” and the area was combed looking for Sam Hose.

By his own admission, Hose knew he had hit Cranford with the ax but did not know he had killed the man until several days later.

Then came the charge of rape. Then a story came out that Mrs. Cranford claimed that her husband’s assailant had raped her as her husband lay dying.

Oh come on, those nice young men were just starting to turn their lives around and become rappers. They were just checking to see if white folks would fit inside garbage cans.

"...George Zimmerman takes a victory lap over Trayvon Martin’s grave..."

If only he would have.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Hose was an African-American man lynched by a mob of some 2,000 white women and men in 1899 near the town of Newnan, Ga. They did all the usual things. They stabbed him, castrated him, skinned his face, mutilated him, burned him alive.

Then they parceled out pieces of his body.

Yes, it happened. But why is author bringing up old hatreds?

Leonard Pitts has a history of racism. He is still inciting racial hatred.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We know from Rachel Jeantel's courtroom testimony that Saint Skittles assaulted Zimmerman, not the other way around, which makes Zimmerman's actions self-defense.

Self-defense is White-Hispanic privilege, don't you know?

If Kel-Tec were smart, they would have created a "Zimmerman Personal Freedom/Personal Protection special edition". Hell throw a regular PF9 in an engraved box lined with cut foam, couple of spare magazines, and emblazon the box top with the American flag and ole Tray Tray's body picture as a reminder:

[IronJack]

If Ashtrayvon’s momma was making bank off him, Leonard “The” Pitts would be nodding his bobblehead in support. Instead he makes an overheated comparison to a lynching from 120 years ago. I don’t see anyone selling pieces of Trayvon (although that would make a good name for an R&B album). Then again, it’s illegal to trade in toxic waste.

[Redleg Duke]

The face of a modern racist.

[farming pharmer]

It would be a shame if some thug pounded Leonard Pitts, Jr.’s head into the concrete.

No it wouldn't. With as much white-hatred as Pitts has spewed over the years, America would be a better place for it.

[Agamemnon]

...a mob of some 2,000 white women and men in 1899 near the town of Newnan, Ga.

And I think that we may be reasonably certain that given this point in time and this geographic location not one of them was a registered Republican.

FReegards!

[CodeJockey]

Watched a report on WTVD out of Raleigh NC this morning and the bubble headed bleach blonde had to report it as the gun Zman used to shoot UNARMED Travon Martin. Wasn’t it NBC that edited the 911 call to paint Zim as a racist? Same model, different network.

[MortMan]

Leonard Pitts is equating an object lawfully owned by Zimmermann with pieces of Sam Hose’s body. That is an outrageous lie in and of itself.

The further fact that Pitts believes that Trayvon was murdered in cold blood identifies Pitts as a delusional thinker, without honor and without intelligence. The alternative is that he knows it’s a lie, which makes him complicit in trying to stage a lynching of George Zimmermann.

[Craftmore]

Well I have it on very good evidence that stores in Trayvons hometown sell Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Punch dont those count as souviniers?

[litehaus]

And the story NEVER made National News....squelched by the Lamestream Press.....They cannot suffer enuf to even the score..JMHO.....

[headsonpikes]

That’s a great headline!

Thanks, Leonard Pitts Jr. - you’re a funny guy!

[ohioman]

When you see the name Leonard Pitts don’t bother reading the article. This insane liberal hates American whites with a passion that would make Vincente Fox jealous.

[ohioman]

That’s pretty good.

Sam Hose

Murdered a man with an axe, then raped his wife. It's probably good to discourage such behavior.
