How is it that in this day and age, a man can kill an unarmed teenager in cold blood, get acquitted and then get his gun back a few days later? How is it that a man who cannot pass the tests necessary to become a police officer—possibly due to failing the psychological portion of the testing—can get a gun permit? How is it possible that George Zimmerman can walk this earth today legally armed, while Trayvon Martin is buried six feet under due to a bullet that came out of Zimmerman’s gun? Only in America.
The Kel Tec PF-9 pistol Zimmerman used to kill Martin will be kept by his side, and according to his attorney Mark O’Mara, Zimmerman needs the weapon now because “there are a lot of people out there who actually hate him.” And why do they hate this man, who is probably still wearing his bulletproof vest? They hate him because he went out on the street when he was told not to and killed a young man out of fear and maybe hate.
He killed a young man because he could be sure that the so-called justice system would let him “stand his ground” and tell him it is all right to kill if you feel that your li fe may be in danger, even if you sought out that “danger” yourself.
Furthermore, something must be done about jury selection in Seminole County, where more than 10 percent of the population is African-American yet no African-Americans were among the jurors.
With laws like “Stand Your Ground,” with people like George Zimmerman and with organizations like the NRA, it is still open season on Black Americans. We talk about the violence in our communities; we talk about the illegal guns that are on the streets. We try to figure out ways in which we can stem the violence, and it is hard work.
We know that we are not the ones who are flooding our communities with guns. We know we are not the ones who are the drug kingpins. We know we have to stop this madness, and the laws that have been enacted are not protecting us. The guns are still flowing and our children are still dying.
But what about the legal guns, the ones used in Newtown, the ones used in Colorado and the one used to kill Trayvon Martin? In these cases, the guns were legal. In the Trayvon Martin murder, the gun was Zimmerman’s. We need to change the laws; we need to change the attitudes.
There is no reason on God’s green earth why what happened to Martin should be allowed, and furthermore, there is no reason why the man who killed him should be allowed to pick up his Kel Tec PF-9 pistol, carry it legally and maybe kill again. No reason, no justice and no peace for Trayvon Martin, his family or our communities.
How is it that an editor of a publication,
being so obviously (to anyone familiar with the case) deceptive and libelous,
can continue to have a job?
She has a bad case of skin color over truth.
I’m bettin’ Traytray would have gone on home if GZ had an AR slung across his back.
I just love the way the media conveniently ignore that roughly 1 murder in 20 is committed with hands or feet.
I seriously doubt they would be squeamish about shooting someone when they were having at least a little trouble breathing and some 6 ft. guy was straddling them, playing midnight basketball with their head on the sidewalk.
Three lies in one sentence.
Somebody forgot to tell Elinor that Zimmerman was found not guilty. I don’t think thats computing in her pea brain.
I doubt if she can take the news that a gunshop down in Volusia county is going to give GZ a brand new Kel Tec gratis. :-)
IIRC, her family owns the publication. It was handed to her on a silver platter. As the late Democrat Texas Gov. Ann Richards used to say about Dubya: “He was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.”
She's a racist.
These people just tell a fictional fairy tale, but use the real names of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin to make it sound like a true story.
“She’s got a point. I doubt George will let another zombie get that close again, but the Kel Tec muzzle pressed against T-bone and the slide caused the pistol to go out of battery preventing a double tap. He might consider a revolver.”
I recall that the forensic evidence at the trial showed that the muzzle was 2-4 inches from Travon Martin’s body.
To these people two wrongs make a right. They want a white man lynched for every black man lynched since 1604.
It appears that the total number of black people lynched in the United States has been less than 4,000. Most lynchings occurred
The Tuskegee Institute has recorded 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites were lynched between 1882 and 1968.[1]

We might consider how many more white people are murdered by black people now than black people murdered by white people, it this is numbers game.
I will go with this Black government employee’s acessment of George Zimmerman.
This man is what the Trayvons and Tracy Martins of the world will never be.
Captain Alexis Carter also as more Integrity than OZERO and Holder will ever obtain.
Yes, the second Amendment is very clear, The rights of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed as long as those people are approved by the police department.
How is it that in this day and age, a "publisher and editor in chief" can start an article with a bald faced lie, and expect to be taken seriously? I guess we can expect no better from the likes of Elinor Tatum. Half the population is below average, Elinor. Sucks to be you.
ROFL!!!!
I missed that detail ...
Ill informed and possibly not bright. She can’t even spell her first name right. LOL
Yup.....as is “most” of the black community......(and I say that very generally) Yet no out cry for the women whos 13 mo old son was shot dead in his stroller by two young black men..... BOR had it right in my NSHO.
how many peace officers militarized police operate on this premise?
