After the government prosecution attempted to paint Zimmerman as an evil murderer with bad intent, ill will and planned all this out while on his way to the store?

Good point, about Z calling the cops, one of which everyone should have got early on.

Trayvon did not call GZ creepy-ass cracker to his face. Are you following the trial?

Actually Sabrina and Tracy have [with the help of Parks, their attorney] opened up Black Grievance charities in Trayvon’s name for which they are beneficiaries.

And if that young black male is on top of you pounding your face in, you must ask yourself what you did to provoke the poor boy. And when that young black male has a record of criminal behavior, weed in his system, and we find a slimjim in the bushes where he was hiding, we must ask what could have driven the poor lad to such a state.

Young black males die daily in urban areas across the country, and many of the people who are responsible for the deaths never set foot in a courtroom, let alone stand trial.

Mary, you ignorant slut, that's because THEY'RE KILLED BY YOUNG BLACK MALES. And you race pimps can't use that to get more from the white man, now can you?

I take exception to the assertion that black people are fighting for equality. Neither blacks nor homosexuals want equality.
They want dominance.

“Frankly, if Trayvon had been killed during a confrontation with another black person who lived in the same gated community where Zimmerman lived, I doubt that so many people outside the boy’s family would have reacted as strongly as they did to Trayvon’s death.

“But black people are weary of fighting the battle for equality on so many fronts.”

Do you see the utter lack of logic in these two sentences?

Black people mostly kill black people. This exclusively means that it is a “black” problem. Equality has nothing to do with it.

That a non-black person kills a black person is only a tiny percentage of black homicides. Does this mean that black people are so racist that people of other races are not *permitted* to kill them, no matter what they do, what crimes they commit?

This is asking that black people have license to commit any crimes they want to without punishment by non-black people; but can be killed at will by other black people.

Insanity.

When JJ and Al Sharpton get involved - which they did - they MAKE it about race.

The Martin and Zimmerman incident is NOT about race but race baiters MADE it about race.

An innocent man would not now be on trail, nor would have received death threats from anyone, without the interference of race baiters. The PD in the district did their job but it wasn’t good enough for the nationally known race baiters who lived outside the community. I guess they are under the premise the PD ‘acted stupidly’.

Nationally known race baiters aren’t interested in blacks being murdered, in general. It’s only when a black teenager jumps an adult and the adult kills in self defense. It’s about the ‘race’ of the person who defended themselves and not about a killing of a black who attacked unjustly - showing blacks can killed blacks and it doesn’t move the race baiters from their easy chair as their living is made off of attacking the ‘white race’ and intimidation of same.

It’s not rocket science, even a 7 year old gets it. Right, judge?

When the dead teen’s parents started a petition on Change.org demanding that Zimmerman be arrested, more than a million people signed.

If they want criminal justice by petition drive we can do that for them, but they won't like where it leads.

Except that the dead man called Zimmerman a creepy-ass cracker,

Not what happened....Martin told that to his girl friend over the phone....Z never heard it at the time.

The whole deal here is many blacks including Martin, now feel they can violently and physically attack white people and others over word usage or being followed, or anything else they don't happen to like at the time.

You can't do that without risking severe consequences.

You are correct and it is only fair that a mostly white jury gets to decide if black people are allowed to beat up hispanic people.

Given how many young black men have a criminal history, the black community should be more concerned about cleaning up their own mess instead of whites being rightly concerned about unknown black males in hoodies canvassing their neighborhood.

Young black males should behave themselves, and chances are they wouldn’t be getting killed with such frequency. Most of them are killed by other young black males. Black militancy has a price, and white people aren’t the only ones paying it.

Once again, had Trayvon chosen to hurry home, and not double back to attack George, it wouldn’t have mattered what George thought.

Since Trayvon attacked George, how many black youths have attacked white people?

Self-Defense in not a crime.

However, if GZ is convicted of any charge, self-defense will no longer be a legal option to protect one’s self or family.

and Trayvon was black, and the age where in some places black males are feared and loathed.....

Sounds like common sense....

Mary Mitchell’s opus in the leftist Chicago Sun Times is an example of how MSM marches to the tune set by MSM’s chief puppeteer

If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama

The Canadians got it right.! Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage..

Even after learning the shooter was a very dark skinned hispanic. Obama did nothing to curtail the hyperbole claiming the neighborhood watch captain was a “white hispanic” by a compliant propaganda machine. Worse yet allowed his US Attorney General to use questionable activities to promote a show trial and ignored using a threat of prosecution to black militant groups threatening the watch captain’s life.

Meanwhile attacks by black groups on selected happless white victims which wind in their death get ignored by the mainline socialist messengers MSM service and black on black killings many of the age of the so called victim is likewise same-o same-o.

It is bad enough that so many unarmed black males have been killed by law enforcement in recent years...

I bet for every young black male killed by law enforcement...TEN young black males are killed by other young black males.

Zimmerman didn't profile--according to the evidence. But even if he did, according to general evidence--PROFILING YOUNG BLACK MALES IS ENTIRELY LOGICAL! No, not fun, not fair to the innocent--general principles never are....but when 2/3 of the murders in this country are done by something like 2% of the population...YOUNG BLACK MALES...then profiling them all is entirely justified.

The incapacity for self-criticism by the black community is utterly astounding.

Just the other day, libs on a Seattle Times message board told me it was a lie for me to say that libs are using the Zimmerman trial to support the idea that there is a “war” against black men. They said it was ME who was obsessed about race. And since then, we’ve seen numerous articles posted on FR, written by libs, claiming there is a “war” against black men. Such shameless liars.
