The liberals sure have jumped all over this case, and made it their cause celebre.
There is an untold story to this case.
Among the details which aren’t generally public knowledge is that there was a physical altercation between these two men. A witness said that Martin had Zimmerman on the ground, was on top of him, and was physically striking him.
The liberals also are not considering that this incident happened a month ago. The police investigated at the time, and found that there was no reason to bring charges against Zimmerman. That’s why Zimmerman was not arrested.
I understand a grand jury is going to review this case, and could issue an indictment.
I wish there was not such a rush to judgement. Let our system work. Let law enforcement and the legal system deal with this.
If a white boy had been shot by a black neighborhood watchman, would the liberals have made this a cause celebre?
To listen to some of these people, you would swear that our society, and the south in particular, have not changed at all since the days of Emmitt Till.
Why is there a presumption that this was a racist incident in the first place?
I realize I could get flamed by some liberal minded people out there, but I really want to know the facts of this case. I do not want to weigh in before knowing everything that happened.
From liberal news reports, all we hear is that a black boy was shot by a “white” or “white Hispanic” man, for no apparent reason. And then we hear liberal angst about how America is racist, violent, gun loving, and nonsense about how black boys are at risk from racists with guns.
black boys are at risk from racists with guns.
They are at risk from racists with guns. They are threatened constantly by white hating blacks killing blacks.
Emmett Till is indeed being invoked by name in this matter. I happened to hear a whole lot of BS from one Joe Madison on the Thom [sic] Hartmann show a couple of nights ago. There were at least three clear lies and two instances of this kind of exaggeration in a single 8-minute segment.
Yes, there is a lot to come out yet, thats what happens in an ongoing investigation and convening of a grand jury. If the police ot prosecutor were to make all sorts of details available they would be tainting the case if they thought he should be prosecuted, or possibly smearing if thete was no case.
The race baiters keep bringing up Till, and “justice”, but a better comparison would most likely be Roderick Scott, in New York. Note that New York doesn’t have a stand your ground provision, and therefore Scott was arrested and tried, for not retreating, Scott was black, and cervini was a white 17 year old. Other than that, Scott claimed self defense in a similar type of situation.
