The Story Unravels: New Questions about Trayvon Martin's Final Hour
American Thinker ^ | April 9, 2012 | Jeff Lipkes

It was a fable for our times:

Once upon a time, a nice young man set off from his dad's fiancée's home before the NBA All-Star game to buy some Skittles and Arizona Tea for his stepbrother. Although the lad was seventeen, he looked like a cute twelve-year-old. Along came a burly ex-con racist vigilante who didn't like the idea of a young African-American male walking around his gated community at night. The cop-wannabe stalked the frightened boy, cornered him, and then shot him. But the racist police didn't arrest the murderer. The conscience of the nation was stirred. Protests erupted from coast to coast. The gunning down of young, unarmed black males by white Rambos -- and the occasional "white Hispanic" -- is an all-too-common occurrence in the US of A.

Now the MSM narrative is unraveling, thanks to Al Gore's nifty invention, the internet. The average MSNBC viewer may not have the smarts and curiosity to do a Google search, but other people do. A lot of the searches wind up at the sites of the Orlando Sentinel and the city's Fox affiliate, Channel 35, both of which have provided good coverage.

Now other local papers are running stories about the "complexity" of the case.

We've learned a little more about Trayvon Martin. Since his record of suspensions and his posts and pictures, with tats and grill, from his Myspace and Twitter accounts surfaced on the web, columnists are less likely to enthuse about him, as a WaPo blogger did on March 18:

By all accounts, Trayvon was a good kid[.] ... He had dreams of becoming a pilot. He was good at math. ... Trayvon's English teacher described him "as an A and B student who majored in cheerfulness."

"So what?" the left responds....

"I have a feeling they'll head for the suburbs, exurbs and rural areas this time, thinking that Mr. Obama in the White House will keep them from being punished for looting, mayhem, rape and carjacking. Will we acquiesce or fight?

I have a feeling you're right. Boob King, Fuehrer of the UAW has been advocating just such type of actions with his sheep membership: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120210/AUTO01/202100428 and: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120211/AUTO01/202110356 There are naive people who believe that the UAW is an industrial union and thus just a bunch of noble workers trying to get along under the boot of the evil bosses.

You are right.

Let’s face it, even when riots break out in NYC no rioters ever get to Park Avenue.

And you can take the subway to there!

I mean, you have to walk a bit, but you can get there.

Quoting a famous movie star from one of his movies "A few Good Men"
I am afraid "They can't handle the truth"

Thanks to the race baiters mainly Jessie & Al who marched in and made stupid statements without one ounce of proof (Ala Towanda Browley and others).
Now the well is poisoned and if it turns out Mr. Zimmerman was telling the truth all along I am afraid all hell will break loose.
A group marched just yesterday for 3 days and said they would now go for civil disobedience. It is clear they will accept nothing but a trial and conviction for Mr. Zimmerman.

Nice attempt to say everyone white should either join, or impersonate being in the klan.

Do you secretly work for MSNBC?

It appears the Obama Helter Skelter plan is going well.

Find an old Black vs White (they missed the Hispanic angle but that's OK-we now have "White Hispanics" to count next census) story to stir of racist passions in the black Left thus increasing black hate crimes against whites—knowing full well that by the time the truth comes out the racist demagoguery and unjust accusations of racism in innocent whites will cause righteous umbrage in many white folk and push some of the more unbalanced into racist acts of their own—thus stoking the fires of a race war, a race war the Obama campaign actually believes will help their Mendacious Marxist win reelection.

… but they will only hit where they’ll … and B) where they have the best chances for “success”.

Of course, they’d be fools to do anything else. It’s straight from Sun Tzu and has been a well used tactic for ages.

Remember when the lady sued McDonalds over the hot coffee. Wasn’t the settlement two days coffee profit or around 2 1/2 million.
Well Zimmerman should do the same. Sue NBC, New Black Panthers,Spite Lee and anyone else involved for each day’s profits they ran with the story.
Could end up being a billion dollars!

—I have a feeling they’ll head for the suburbs, exurbs and rural areas this time—

I live 80 miles from the nearest city. They’ll have to push their way through people like me to get to me. This will effectively cull the herd.

Two words for Mr. Zimmerman ... Morgan & Morgan (it’s an inside joke here in Central Florida).

They’ll need to do something when they run out of food. But I agree with you. From this article: http://www.fredoneverything.net/Assimilation.shtml


“The results would be awful. Whites would win any real confrontation, being far more numerous, richer, and better armed and organized. They also control the food supply, which may not have occurred to angry urban populations. But the country would be wrecked.”

And here: http://www.fredoneverything.net/Blowup.shtml


“It had better not happen, but it could. Any spark could light it. One day the underclass, rioting, may go into white neighborhoods to stomp and burn. They won’t expect resistance, because they have never met it. I don’t think Al and Jesse quite know how many deer guns, how many Weatherbys and .223s sit quietly in closets out here. If a mob comes toward a man’s home, where his wife and children are, the results will be astonishing. The police will immediately polarize, black versus white. So will everybody else. Government will be irrelevant. And the whole country just might blow up.

If that happens, God help us.”

Precisely. Many of us here are quite typical. We’re peace-loving conservatives, but by God we are armed and WILL defend ourselves, our loved ones, and our property. We have the means and the will to do so.

These urban morons may not think of that, but God help the ones who don’t.

That would require both initiative and fore thought. Given what has happened in the past there may be some damages to the suburbs, but not much of any significance

I'll take 'Fight' for $500, Alex.
I haven't 'acquiesced' since 1954, when I was six. So I sure as *heck* won't start now.

Most of that was punitive damages, and what the press didn't emphasis in reporting was that the punitive damages award was reversed.

Some people get worked up over a story and never bother to question if the press might be full of shit. The lynch mob after Zimmerman is very distressing as they blow off any evidence given that Martin was a thug as either just not good or concocted as a conspiracy theory. I'm talking about good, well meaning people and not black panthers or Jessie Jackson
