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.”
We knew this was coming. They will have their anarchy, chaos and most importantly, their race war. They will, as predicted fan the flames, start it, become violent and expect the media to help them...
But at that point, no one will care what the media has to say, nor who they direct their accusations toward.
What does the Old Black Panther party say?
ROTF!
A bit skeptical for a November win are ya'?
If I were George I would be getting out of Florida as fast as possible.....Some of these race baiters aren’t going to rest until they provoke a riot and get blood. Where did all that talk about civility go from the Democrats?? LOL (They were so full of ####)
Why isn’t anyone saying that the black community should be looking at itself for the death of Treyvon Martin.
If the majority of crimes weren’t being committed by blacks who are only 13% of the population, then the Treyvon Marins of the world would not be suspect when in neighborhoods like the one where Martin was shot (this assumes that Martin was an innocent, a fact not in evidence only assertion to this end).
This is the fault of the black leadership...not Zimmerman. Martin’s death is merely a symptom of the failures of the black leadership who are all solidly democRAT.
White America is arming themselves for the parasitic inner-city tribal people to invade the suburbs, and take what they've been told they have a "Right" to, when The Messiah loses his throne, and Holder's People lose their standard-bearer.
I've said for the past 4 years that it's gonna get ugly, and we're on our way.
So when can we expect an indictment for solicitation of murder and hate crime for thsoe who made and distributed this? If not can we do the same for someone else, say Obama?
Manson got his first boner in decades at that news

It’s never been their duty to self examine. That’s what PC is all about, blame the other guy to keep the focus off oneself. Yet everyone keeps pickin up and movin on.
No doubt.
I’m a white (blindingly so) guy with a blond/blue eyed daughter. I was raised in the mountains, live in a desert, chew tobbacco, have a love of 4x4s and basset hounds.
I am THE poster boy for the great ‘Mercan redneck. I also have a black Son in Law that I’m perfectly happy with.
Charlie and Al and Jessie and Barack and Eric and the rest can KMA. The hate that’s out there and any hell to come is on their heads, not mine and those like me.
I’ve been saying for some time, that almost everyone can afford something. Ruger, Glock, Kimber, S&W and Colt can be very expensive. I discovered the very affordable Hi-Points when issued their C9 9mm pistol at a security firm. When I left, I bought the pistol from the company:

They manufacture carbines, as well in .380 ACP, 9mm , 40 S&W, and 45 ACP.
People laugh at the cheap guns like .22s.
Personally I don’t want to get shot by one. And ANYONE can afford one. Better than none at all.

I think the blew it.
Try as they might, they can't paint Hispanic George Zimmerman as a racist Klansman/Tea Partier.
They needed to target a white guy for the "Kill Whitey" campaign, and they missed by 180 degrees.
Black on black crime takes it in the shorts again.
