Yesterday afternoon at a press conference, the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense circulated a “wanted dead or alive” poster for George Zimmerman for shooting to death a Florida teenager four weeks ago. Zimmerman, a self-proclaimed neighborhood watch captain said he accosted what he alleges was a suspicious looking black male walking through his neighborhood. He further contends the man punched him, and bloodied his nose, so Zimmerman fired a gun shot striking the man in the chest. The “man” was 17 year old Trayvon Martin, who would lie in the county morgue three days before police alerted his parents of their child’s death.
Minister Mikhail Muhummud led the press conference, calling for the firing of Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, the arrest of George Zimmerman and some involvement from President Obama. Muhummud stated he is the southern regional director for the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense located in Jacksonville, Florida. While Minister Muhummud fired off a list of demands and expressed outrage over the handling of the shooting and subsequent investigation; a member of the group passed flyers to about 100 people who showed up for the press conference. Muhummud told the group he was not concerned with rumors of death threats to George Zimmerman, “He should be afraid for his life…” (SEE http://youtu.be/ZE_i9TELcfw)
Muhummud said “I’m here today to appeal to the country, particularly President Obama to do the right thing while you have the power.” He said that “Trayvon Martin “symbolizes my son.”
President Obama had not addressed the issue, but had advised the Justice Department to open an investigation into the case. This morning following Muhummud’s press conference, President Obama spoke about the case for the first time publicly. He echoed the sentiments of Muhummud saying “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon...” (SEE http://youtu.be/efZNgSEpB1k).
When the group started chanting “Black Power,” Ms. Adele Azarucquoi, a white long time resident of Sanford shouted, “What about White people.”
Muhummud quickly said “We don’t hate any group. We hate injustice. We appreciate the whites who have come forth to help us.”
There were less than a dozen whites, not counting media, among the mostly African American crowd. “I hope there are more people who look like me at the next rally for Trayvon’s family,” Ms. Azarucquoi said.
After the news conference Ms. Azarucquoi told a journalist, “This heart of mine is sick when a kid gets killed because his skin is different from the skin of the guy who shoots him.”
She then requested that a journalist walk across the street with her to speak with Police Chief Bill Lee.
Upon arrival at his office the receptionist said he wasn’t in the office then said “he hasn’t been in the office in several days.”
Later in the day Chief Lee announced he was temporarily stepping down.
Present at the news conference was Ms. Mildred Duprey de Robles, Conciliation Specialist for the United States Justice Department’s Office of Community Relations. Ms. Duprey de Robles declined to speak with the press other than to say she was there as an observer.
The Justice Department’s office of Community Relations is mandated to help negotiate peaceful resolutions to community problems. She appeared to have gotten an ear full and left quickly when the press insisted on more communication from her.
Members of the public who came in support of the New Black Panther Party’s press conference were vocal in their outrage over the shooting and investigation. They called for the dismantling of “the good ole boy network.” Pastor Paul Wright, whose 1000 member church, Calvary Temple Praises, is several blocks from the police department, dropped by the press conference. When asked about the “wanted dead or alive” poster Pastor Wright said, “I don’t agree with that. We don’t need to set a precedent that this is the way to resolve problems.”
Thought this fit here too...from the Newt thread...
Dear Mr. President,
In light of the Trayvon Martin incident, and your comments on his appearance, you asked Americans to look into their souls. So since you are the President and leader of my country, I did the patriotic thing and followed your advice.
What I found there, clearly etched on it’s very fiber was a phrase you may have heard. “All men are created equal.” And it brings to mind the man who spoke those words. Strangely, he looked more like you than he did me. And I’m good with that.
See Mr. President, I happen to believe them. I don’t much care who spoke them first or last. But I remember them best spoken by that man who looks more like you than like me. He said a few other things my pale complected self took to heart too. Things about the content of the character, not the color of the skin.
His own skin was much darker than mine, you see. And I’m OK with that too.
Mr. President, I’ll close this open letter here because to be honest, I don’t really think you believe the man who looked more like you and not like me. Because if you did, who Trayvon Martin looked like would be the furthest thing from your mind.
Regards,
Normie.
You got the story link behind that pick?

Man, I can really understand why people are so upset with the media. Look how short of a time it took me to find the story that goes with that pic.
I read he was 6’ 3” with a slim build.
“You got the story link behind that pick?”
I can’t find the original story by Breitbart (RIP), but this covers it, as well:
“Obama’s New Black Panther Problem”
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=46599
http://theulstermanreport.com/2011/11/04/white-house-insider-the-obama-plan/
From the White House Insider:
“Ulsterman: How? What’s the plan? What’s going to be different from all the other campaigns?
Insider: You’ve already seen it. A taste of it. Race. The race card. Racism. Race-race-race. It’s all they f***king got to run on these days.
Ulsterman: Race? Hasn’t Obama played that one out already? It’s become a joke.
Insider: Played it out? No, not…you might think so but no…his people are going to raise the issue of race to a level this country hasn’t seen since the Civil Rights movement. White guilt got Barack Obama the nomination. White guilt got Barack Obama into the White House.”
Thank YOU!!
See comment 57 above.
Recent FB photos, now scrubbed. Pass them on, they should go viral.
What is needed is natural and logical consequences. Been piling up for a long time.
I call it a commie/fascist/racist/sodom and gomorrah speed train on meth fast approaching the cliff. There is nothing anyone can do to stop it.
Thank you and yes, I just read that part. And he grew up in a multicultural family, black/Hispanic.
His photos on FaceBook. There were a lot more, don’t know if the person copied more before it was scrubbed.
A race war will guarantee an Obama loss.
YEP
The fact that recent FB photos have been scrubbed is compelling evidence this whole outrage is being orchestrated.
