Trayvon Martin Redux, A.K.A. Michael Brown
Ive had about all I can take, folks. Is there a word for the cliché becoming a cliché of the cliché? This week there was a shooting death in Ferguson, Missouri which has transfixed the nation. All the expected players were there: Sleazeball Sharpton, Jerk Jackson, Paris S. Lewis of the New Black Panther Party (who calls himself Malik Zulu Shabazz, excuse me while I laugh myself silly), a dead teenaged Negro, a Caucasian policeman, an orgasmic, drooling media, and a riotous crowd of local and imported Negro looters and pillagers.
I cant help but notice the almost identical unfolding of events with the Trayvon Martin frenzy a few years ago. The similarities are striking---and cliché: Trayvon was portrayed as a 12-year old angel in pajamas by the media; Michael Brown has been dubbed the Gentle Giant; George Zimmerman, quickly labeled a white Hispanic by the press, was accused of tracking down and murdering the angelic Trayvon in cold blood---you know, just out hunting black people to kill; Officer Wilson in Missouri has been accused of executing and murdering the Gentle Giant, Brown; in both cases the victims were portrayed as unarmed black teenagers who were simply walking home before they were ambushed and murdered by the bloodthirsty white killers; a frenzied, lustful media breaking its neck to perpetuate the myth of the innocent black child murdered by the racist white devil; a Negro mob using the situation as an excuse to rob, burn, steal, pillage and loot the neighborhood stores which had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting; the usual race hustler victimization pimps, Sharpton and Jackson, on the scene to get whatever spotlight they can and pretend to be relevant and important; and finally, the public conviction of the shooter prior to any investigation or any real facts being known.
In fact, misinformation to perpetuate the media myth was quick to come out. In the initial hours it was reported that the Gentle Giant was shot in the back---just days short of entering college; how tragic! But later this was revised; the autopsy showed that Brown was NOT shot in the back, but he was shot (gasp!) six times. Surely this proves that the crazed, racist Wilson was just out to murder the first poor black child he could find. It was even reported that Browns arms were raised in surrender when he was shot.
But wait. Much to the frenzied medias disappointment, new information has come to light. The Gentle Giant (Brown was 64, 275 pounds) had violently robbed a convenience store several minutes before he was shot. Store video shows him brutally strong-arming the clerk half his size. He stole $50 worth of Swisher Sweet cigars, the wrappings of which druggies use to roll giant marijuana joints called blunts.
A CNN source close to the case has reported Wilsons version of what happened: Brown initiated an altercation with him, struggled for his gun, then rushed him and was shot. ABC news reported that a source in the police department stated Wilson had a serious facial injury and Chief Tom Jackson stated that Wilson had a swelling to the side of his face, consistent with witness accounts that the Gentle Giant cold-cocked Wilson while he sat in his patrol car---exactly the way Trayvon Martin cold-cocked George Zimmerman.
The similarities to the Trayvon Martin case are illuminating. Both 17 year old Martin and 18 year old Brown were portrayed as innocent children by fawning media yet both were violent thugs, criminals and drug users; both were returning from a store with drug paraphernalia (Martins Skittles and iced tea are ingredients of a drug cocktail called lean which he bragged about online; Browns cigar wrappings are used to roll joints); both were belligerent and aggressive; both physically attacked an armed man; both were shot during the struggle and died; and both had drugs in their system when they died. Trayvon Martin got just what he asked for and deserved. If Officer Wilsons version of events proves true, so did Brown.
Brown had four bullet wounds in his right arm, running from wrist to shoulder, and two in the head, including one near the top of the head.
There are two possible scenarios. First, the racist cop Wilson decided to assassinate an innocent black teenager and Brown just happened to be the one he targeted; he got out of his patrol car, Brown raised his hands and surrendered, and Wilson unloaded six shots into him, murdering him in cold blood. From just a few yards away, Wilson managed to miss the huge 275 pound hulk of Browns wide body and instead systematically put four rounds into his raised right arm, then shot him in the head twice after he fell forward. Hmm; it seems that if he was so keen to murder the Gentle Giant he would have aimed for the vitals, not the raised arm.
The second possible scenario is the CNN sources version. Wilson didnt know about the robbery; he pulled up and asked the Gentle Giant and his friend to get out of the middle of the road, where they were walking. They refused, the officer pulled up ahead of them and stopped, then he got the call about the cigar robbery. He noticed the cigars carried by the Gentle Giant. He backed up to them and engaged them in conversation. The Gentle Giant was belligerent. Wilson attempted to get out of his car and the Gentle Giant struck him in the face and shoved him back inside. A struggle for his gun ensued (just like in the Martin case) and the gun went off. The Gentle Giant ran, the officer got out of the car to give pursuit. Brown turned and became aggressive. He charged at the officer who proceeded to fire, killing him as he fell just a few feet in front of him.
Far from having his hands raised in surrender, the arm wounds are consistent with someone rushing the officer with right arm held out as a shield; the arm shots would not have stopped Brown and he kept rushing forward; the second head shot would have entered the forehead and finally stopped the huge, rushing hulk. There is apparently audio evidence from eyewitnesses which corroborate that Brown turned and charged Wilson.
So which scenario is the more believable, the more likely? A racist, vigilante cop gunning down an innocent black teenager for fun or a cocky, violent black thug on drugs who had just robbed a store, using bad judgment and causing his own death? I believe that in the coming weeks and months it will be shown that something very like the second scenario is what happened. As Mychal Massie, the conservative black commentator observed at the time, There is one reason, and one reason only, that Trayvon Martin is dead; he attacked a man with a licensed firearm who used it.
But even ironclad evidence wont dissuade the buffoons, race pimps and looters in Ferguson from displaying their low nature and shameful behavior. And it wont stop the despicable media from another orgy of hoping for racial animus on another day, to further their racist myth. If Officer Wilson coldly hunted down and murdered the docile, surrendering Brown he deserves to face the death penalty and I hope he does. If Brown belligerently and violently attacked him however, as seems most likely from the evidence, then we should all be glad that Wilson has rid society of another violent black thug who had just committed robbery and surely would have robbed, raped or even murdered someone else eventually; good riddance.
Meanwhile, heres a little advice for not-too-Sharpton, Jerkson, the idiot Spike Lee and those other race pimps who complain about the crisis of young black males being murdered by police: if you want young Negro males to stop getting shot, you might want to suggest that they stop committing violent crimes. Youll be amazed how well that would work.
Reports here in FR had weight at 295 not 275 pounds and was shot in the back. In both the Zimmerman and the Wilson episodes POTUS used his “Bully Pulpit” and then the propaganda machine known as MSM which has also become unaccountable went to work generating inflamatory reports.
This is all about keeping the blacks from leaving the democrat plantation because once they start leaving impeachment is a real possibility....
AND THAT IS THE MANTRA WE SHOULD BE USING
