But, nevertheless, battle lines are being drawn and hysteria seems to be getting whipped up. Mikhail Muhummud, what a name. It sums up the weird affinity between the left and Islam, though. He's gunning for a lynching, for all the world that's what it really sounds like.
Speaking of “what a name,” how about an Hispanic man named Zimmerman being pawned off as white to fuel the narrative? Is he Jewish with an Hispanic mother? Maybe Pennsylvania Dutch or Moravian with an Hispanic mother? I can't figure that one out at all.
It sounds as if the Martin kid, well, young adult, really might have been up to no good, panicked and fled into a backyard to elude Zimmerman, who was trailing him. It also sounds as if some problem or problems with similar individuals had occurred in that neighborhood, “not going to let it happen again” I believe were Zimmerman's words.
Zimmerman got more than he bargained for, and was getting his butt pretty badly beaten. Then, whether it was pride, anger or he really did feel that his life was threatened, he pulled his gun and shot. I can't help but believe that he shot wildly, too. No trained marksman with nerves of steel, this guy. Doesn't sound like it anyway.
But, the shot killed him.
They're going to be massing outside the gates of that gated community soon. It could get ugly. South Florida is no stranger to near third world levels of violence, even large scale rioting.
The country's best race baiters are there fanning the flames.
I still really don't know who was most in the wrong, here.
What they have is the ultimate 'boogeyman'.
A person who is 'Hispanic' with a Jewish sounding name they can call "White".
For blacks, especially Muslims, what's not to hate?
Whether or not it was a 'good shoot' will get lost in the racist politics.
For CCW folks out there, though, from the sounds of this, the neighborhood watch guy should have kept some distance and observed (and reported), if possible, without direct confrontation unless a crime was being perpetrated.
Without knowing what happened, it is hard to say if Zimmerman was in the right or not. Either way, it should be for the courts to sort out without the rest of this crap.
