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.”
Has anyone tried to check if this “kids” got a rap sheet?
Nail on the head!
There is a good reason why even blacks look over their should for other blacks, and not whites. Follow the crime.
I see.
So the proper response to a justified homicide is premeditated murder?
Wouldn’t expect anything less.
The Black Panthers are terrorists.
Because everyone knows that no Black can commit a crime, especially a yute, and all Blacks that are in prison have been railroaded by racist white cops, prosecutors and judges.
No Black person can be racist, and none could ever get any education, employment or loans without total affirmative action enforcement.
Anyone who disagrees with this is a hateful racist bigot.
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.
The BP like La Raza, are racist organizations.
They should be shunned.
How does this poster not count as a death threat?
Seems to me the New Black Panthers have a leader or two that needs to be arrested and face serious time for this crime.
I know it’s only late March but the best thing that could possibly happen down there right now would be for a very early hurricane to hit.
Have we got a recent picture of this Person? His age has been all over the map. News Media spouting 13, have heard 17 also, does anyone know??
Thanks.
Yeah, it’s on another thread. I’ll get you link, just click on the link to the original article. I don’t post pictures - I never learned how.
The guy doesn’t look any more White than Obama does.
Only one problem for these ghetto hoods; if there is a race war, Blacks (Not African-Americans) only make up 13% of the US population. As they say: “Bring it On!”
He’s 17, Easternsky (Pollack?) and I haven’t seen his pix.
“The BP like La Raza, are racist organizations.”
Wow. . .had to read that twice, as “BP” means “Border Patrol” to many of us, and especially to me as my son is a “BP” Agent.
No worries, I figured it out.
History shows there is always a trigger. This might be it. Add that to the Muslim BS in Afghan and France etc and it’s not a good outlook.
Hopefully the NatGuard in FL will be at the ready to respond.
George Zimmerman of Black/Hispanic extraction They can call this any crime that they want, but it wasn't racism or a hate crime.
This is definitely not going to turn out well for the Zimmerman family.......
They don't have to, Santorum has already jumped into the fray as has Glenn Beck.........Their threads are already circulating here.
Trayvon 17.
I don’t know how recent any of the pictures of him are.
I do know they have recent pictures of Zimmerman, who is clearly Hispanic.
Baby Huey says there is no `New Black Panther party’ (for self defense): http://www.blackpanther.org/newsalert.htm
The group I’ve seen was described here as a `Black Pampers Party’. One of the founders or ring-leaders—he looks so frail that a strong wind might blow him away and I believe he lives in his parents’ basement.
These guys are all show. No street cred. Paint ballers w/o paint guns who borrow guns for photographs.
We wave our pasty white naughty bits in the faces of their maiden onties.
Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha!
