Not to rehash the case, but to make the point, that the biggest threat, (BY FAR), to our way of life in America is the media. It’s the MEDIA stupid.
Fix THAT and we can save America. All else will follow. It is the ROOT cause. You can only kill a weed by pulling it out by the roots.
A primary investigation, the night of the shooting, by the responding police officers and a questioning at the police station, determined that there was not probable cause to arrest George Zimmerman for ANYTHING!
He was allowed to GO HOME! Why? Because it appeared (actually it WAS) to be self defense. All indications were that it happened just as George Zimmerman said it did. Including an eye/ear witness who even went outside and tried to stop it, seeing Trayvon on top of Zimmerman, beating the crap out of him. He went back inside and called 911. While doing so the fatal shot was fired.
This was all known to the police THE NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING! That is why George was not detained, because no crime had been committed, as a jury eventually determined.
BUT! The despicable lying press got a hold of the story and the race-baters would not be silenced. They even doctored/edited the police video of George Zimmerman’s wounds.
A local news crew showed video of the crime scene the night of the shooting and early the next morning, including an interview with the prime witness earlier mentioned.
The body (under a yellow tarp), the can of Arizona Watermelon “FRUIT JUICE COCKTAIL” NOT TEA!, the sidewalk, the grassy area, the proximity to the buildings, the complete crime scene.
Just watching this local news team video of, let me reiterate, the night of the shooting and early the next morning, told me everything I needed to know, that George Zimmerman did NOTHING WRONG.
That should have been the end of it. But, the media and the race-baters almost succeeded in getting an innocent man convicted of murder.
They did succeed in ruining an innocent man’s LIFE.
What about poor Trayvon’s life? It’s too bad he died, but the Punk Trayvon killed himself by bringing his fists to a gunfight.
By the way. The press and the officials were all so “politically correct” that they would not properly identify the drink Trayvon purchased because he was Black and the drink was “WATERMELON”. Finally, in the trial, the lawyers did refer to the drink correctly, after all it was a court of “law”.
This just shows the EXTREME of political correctness we have gotten to when they won’t accurately describe a “drink” because the flavor might advance a stereotype, of a DEAD GUY. He’s DEAD and they are worried about how it MIGHT look to some, that he liked WATERMELON flavor.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH WATERMELON???????????????
His mother even said his favorite meal was “FRIED CHICKEN”!!! Laughing about it.
How are watermelons and fried chicken racist?
It’s the MEDIA stupid.
Pitts is an appropriate name for a commentator whose body of work is the pits.
Wow. He looks just like the hundreds of dead ghetto rats littering the streets of Chicago.
Leonard Pitts Jr. is a colossal ass.
I’m glad Zimmerman was acquitted, but he seems like a jerk.
You know, basically the political philosophy of Mein Kampf.
They should be very afraid that after 50 years of such lessons, the white majority might agree.
I see announcements for Gun auctions from time to time and they include, at times, weapons from all over the place used in Wars, the Old West, etc., even Adolph Hilter’s personal side arm. These collector items go for big bucks, 5 to 6 figures, So I can’t muster that much outrage over this.
That CNN piece is simply shocking - an attack on justice, the 2nd Amendment and the police - they deserve to be closed-down. But I’m not surprised: I believe that the Mainstream Media (in all its guises, from Hollywood to the pop stars) is THE biggest problem we face. I think Trump recognizes that.
Certainly at the heart of the conspiracy.
Punished for what?
Self-defense is justifiable homicide.
