Syrian Rebels Side with Trayvon
The Daily Beast ^ | July 15, 2013 | Josh Rogin

Anger over the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin has stretched all the way from Sanford, Florida to Syria, where residents of a besieged town weighed in on the verdict Monday.

“Martin family!,” reads a sign drawn up by the rebels in the Syrian town of Kafr Anbel, part of the Syrian city of Idlib. “The Syrians are the best who know what it’s like to lose loved ones by immune criminals.”

The northwestern Syrian town, known as the “the creative center of the revolt,” has been making sardonic signs mocking Syrian President Bashar al Assad and his regime for years. Other signs have lashed out at the U.N. for failing to stop the bloodshed in Syria Syrian bloodshed as well as the foreign countries aiding Assad, such as Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

A photo of rebels holding the Trayvon Martin sign was posted on the Facebook page of activist Raed Fares, who explained why the people of Kafr Anbel are making these signs, which are directed at western audiences via social media.

"It's very important to send our message to all the world," he said. "And English is the public language."

Other signs have compared Assad to Don Corleone from The Godfather.....

This whole thing has helped me understand how Israel really feels. The issue of them being able to defend themselves against goons is historic.

The ONLY issue at play here with this case, is that a “white” person has defended himself from a goon and a good culture.

We are not allowed to defend ourselves, because they see as being so much stronger and better than they are...

and therefore, we are supposed to take what they dish out.

It is never going to stop, and Obama is just cashing in on the fact that so many people have so much hatred for their freedoms, because they can’t make it in the world, and they don’t want to work for anything.

And they are just so freaking angry at anyone who can make it.

I would expect the Romulans would. (I remember them years ago in Star Trek but now I have to brush up on who they were. LOL)

What about the Klingons and the Goauld. Are they for him too?

No. Klingons would say that the survivor is right. Even humans had trial by combat.

The Pak haven’t said anything-and I wouldn’t expect them to reveal any of their thoughts to Breeders.
The Thrint’s response has been all over the media. A Thrint MSNBC commenter even described Zimmerman as “Tnuctipunian”- their harshest criticism!
Nothing feom the Bandersnatchi...

It is believed the Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne has issued a long statement that could be read to be in support of Trayvon- if any meaning can be found in it at all- but it has apparently not been received... one Jame Retief is suspected of ‘misdirecting’ it.

I think helping in the fight for “freedom” in Syria would be a great employment opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Trayvon supporters. We should start a fund to purchase them air fare.

I wonder if they had a little help with that sign from the CIA?

Message to Obama: "We like your son, keep money and aide flowing".
True Syrian rebel sentiment: "Who cares about Trayvon".

I was trying to figure out how anyone, CIA especially, could have come up with “immunity” for that sign, given the expensive, time-consuming, demonized experience with which GZ has been grilled.

Best I can figger is, someone thinks Whitney’s law unfairly saved GZ.

Many sad!
