VIDEO: Zimmerman acquitted because Trayvon Martin was black, says US attorney
The Jamaica Observer ^ | September 1, 2014

KINGSTON, Jamaica — US attorney Jasmine Rand said that Trayvon Martin’s accused killer George Zimmerman was acquitted because the victim was black.

Speaking at press conference in Kingston on Monday, Rand, who represented the interests of Martin’s relatives in the case, said Zimmerman was set free because of where the incident happened.

“Trayvon Martin was shot because he was black. Zimmerman got away because he (Martin) was black. I think the case was lost because the jury selection was not done properly and the area where the trial took place,” Rand said.

The law professor is in Jamaica to assist lead attorney Miguel Lorne in seeking justice for Mario Deane’s family in his beating death early August.

Deane died in the Cornwall Regional Hospital after suffering a severe beating while in the custody of the Barnett Street police.

And it is a death cult, a religious cult and a cargo cult, all three combined. It will be almost impossible to defeat, and in conjunction with Islam it may very well destroy us, to utter annihilation.

And they must necessarily lose, if it comes to that. No 12% minority in history has ever defeated a 75% majority. And if black people think that Hispanics are going to join in in the fighting, particularly on their side of the barricades, they haven’t been paying attention.

Why is that always a bad thing? You’ve never been out with a slightly overweight or even a plump gal? You have NO IDEA what you’re missing, bud.

I remembered her from the GZ case, where she was quite poised, if totally wrong, in her TV appearances.

I was wondering how I could have missed her ascendance into Holder's Justice Department. LOL!

No, but again I tell you “don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it” as the old saying goes. BTW, she looks to me to be, at tops, a size 16 or 18. Marilyn Monroe fluctuated between 14 and 16, IIRC.

I had to Google "cargo cult."

Fascinating illustration of the vulnerability of the human mind to irrational belief-at least by our lights irrational.

Oh, I assumed you might have read the above. Of course, there are about a million books published every year, no one has read even a fraction of them.

Did she take up a collection?

She sounds like a racist, a genuine self hating BIG-ot.

Your insightful piece is spot on! This type of political argument that Jasmine Rand employs is at the heart of the Alinsky Method. It is the manipulation of argument based upon emotion that makes it so difficult to defeat. It is a method so well internalized in those who use it, that it does take on a cult type presence. They are the useful fools who mix up the political poison for the Kool Aid drinkers. In their world, wrong is right and the ends justifies the means. They live in the fantasy world on the Unicorn Farm.

Rockingham:" Jasmine Rand is not a “U.S. Attorney” but is an attorney in private practice with Parks & Crump in Tallahassee, Florida,
where she leads the firm’s Civil Rights Department. Parks and Crump represented the Trayvon Martin family."

As I recall , wasn't she brought into the Martin/Zimmerman trial by Parks and Crump, as a "social engineer" ?
Social Engineer: effective use of media to sway public opinion, control the media language and press releases, etc...
also use of Facebook, Twitter and other personal media, interface with demonstrators, etc..

No. The first line is misleading. This article is in a Jamaican newspaper. Rand is an attorney from the US; she is not a US Attorney.

Line got me too until I read she was representing the interests of the Martin relatives.

The Zimmerman trial was a state trial.

As far as I know, the United States has never brought a case (civil rights or otherwise) against Zimmerman.
