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.”
Yup. When Zimmerman's face starts getting widely known, it will largely deflate this whole issue.
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.
Communists are right on target, aren't they. Their 0b0z0 internal polls must be crashing!
Just one more wake up call.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. What is in it for the left to conflagrate black v. hispanic racism?
They are already setting up the notion that it will be an all white grand jury, so there can be racial outrage no matter the ruling.
The race pimps won't read the details. They want to portray Martin as a faultless angel brutally hunted and shot by a self appointed white vigilante. I expect Zimmerman will be murdered by the hate filled blacks.
Yup.
I hate to say this out loud, but I believe it heart and soul. I think that’s the only thing that will wake people up. 3000 people on 9/11 was not enough. All the dead in the ME wasn’t enough. All the ‘to date’ inner city violence AKA CHICAGO isn’t enough.
Look at WW2 era Germany. for them, THAT wasn’t enough..
When I look at QWS/Dems/Libs and those types, I strangely think of the comic memes on the Cheezburger site. “First world problems”. They take something like a cold fry in the bottom of a McD’s bag and make it as the worst thing a human ever suffered...but many today really are like that. “It cannot happen here and most certainly not to MEEEEE!!!”
The only way they will ever wake up is for Orwell’s proverbial ‘rough men’ to stand aside and let them experience the logical outcome of their liberal views/politics up close and personal.
IE A Conservative is a liberal whose been mugged.
I hear you.
I believe that the left is exploiting this as one of their several sparks for powder kegs of violence.
This spring/summer is when they put their foot down to take over the country.
It won’t happen, though.
Here's Newt's:
I won't bother posting Santorum’s since he is wondering why Zimmerman hasn't been arrested.....kind of Obama like, jumping in before the facts are known.
If anyone has Romney's comments, please post as I have not seen them yet. Thanks!
Good memory- I had forgotten about that one.
The first lady palling around with the wife of a racist, anti-Semite who’s now alluding to race wars...
Are any of us surprised? zer0 has done more to fan the flames of a race war than anyone I can remember. He’s itchin’ for a fight and has already chosen sides.
Imagine if this was a Republican president!
The MSM is helping in the blood-letting that’s surely coming. They should also pay for what they’re sponsering.
This is a line these people only think they want to cross.
When you watch the MSM reporting, Picture Richard Dawson as the announcer in “The Running Man.”
That’s what the MSM is today. Let them try and deny it.
This is about to get nasty, my friend :/
Indeed. Glad I’m where I’m at.
The communists are pushing us into violence. The country can’t survive their attempted take over.
Critical mass will be reached when they force us to turn into THEM.
I shouldn’t say this, (and being that I’m not in the states multiplies that)... but, the sooner it all comes out, the better... go head first into all of the crap they created and clean it up so that the repair can begin asap... :s
What they have is the ultimate 'boogeyman'.
A person who is 'Hispanic' with a Jewish sounding name they can call "White".
For blacks, especially Muslims, what's not to hate?
Whether or not it was a 'good shoot' will get lost in the racist politics.
For CCW folks out there, though, from the sounds of this, the neighborhood watch guy should have kept some distance and observed (and reported), if possible, without direct confrontation unless a crime was being perpetrated.
Without knowing what happened, it is hard to say if Zimmerman was in the right or not. Either way, it should be for the courts to sort out without the rest of this crap.
“Just one more wake up call.”
More like an alarm clock on steroids.
