Ever since his CPAC Keynote Address in 2010, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) has been one of the gold standards of modern American political conservatism. He has also been widely hailed as a political model for conservative African American politicians. And now, following recent revelations surrounding the highly suspicious shooting of Trayvon Martin, Rep. West has joined a growing bipartisan consensus calling for the case to be reopened, possibly even with Federal assistance. West’s statement, put out today by Talking Points Memo, resonates with controlled fury (emphasis added):
itself in Sanford, Florida involving the shooting of 17-year-old Treyvon Martin. First of all, if all that has been reported is accurate, the Sanford Police Chief should be relieved of his duties due to what appears to be a mishandling of this shooting in its early stages. The US Navy SEALS identified Osama Bin Laden within hours, while this young man laid on a morgue slab for three days. The shooter, Mr Zimmerman, should have been held in custody and certainly should not be walking free, still having a concealed weapons carry permit. From my reading, it seems this young man was pursued and there was no probable cause to engage him, certainly not pursue and shoot him….against the direction of the 911 responder. Let’s all be appalled at this instance not because of race, but because a young American man has lost his life, seemingly, for no reason. I have signed a letter supporting a DOJ investigation. I am not heading to Sanford to shout and scream, because we need the responsible entities and agencies to handle this situation from this point without media bias or undue political influences. This is an outrage.

Mexicans shooting blacks is a normal day here in LA.
There are 6 witnesses listed in the police report, 3 males and 3 females. None of those witnesses gave statements in the police report indicating there was a fight.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been “disappeared”....
Whatta dilemma the truth is for a disgusting troll like you, huh?
There has been zero evidence that Zimmerman did anything but shoot in self defense while lying on his back, yet you wish to join the race baiting drive-by mediots in trying to frame him.
Thanks for coming out of the closet.
The charge in the police report is: Homicide - Negligent, Manslaughter - Unnecessary Killing to Prevent Unlawful Act.
Why don’t you read the police report before posting?
The two officers responding had 6 witnesses as listed in the police report. Those witness statements are not listed in the report, but there are also no statements by the two responding officers that indicated the witnesses told the police that Martin attacked Zimmerman.
Basically, you’re guessing as to what happened.
Why shouldn’t a death be investigated? Doesn’t that give a better chance for the truth, whatever it is, to come out?
Given West’s own willingness to employ a sidearm when necessary, one would think he’d be a little more willing to extend the benefit of the doubt and not make any public pronouncements until all the facts are in.
Seems to me there already has been an investigation, but it just didn't turn out the way the race pimps wanted.
The police report and the 9-11 tapes, the links to which are both available on FR.
Here’s the police report link.

Next time, do your own f’n research, knucklehead.
Meanwhile:
Police in Kansas City are investigating a possible hate crime after a 13-year-old boy was doused in gasoline and set on fire. According to Allen Goin’s mother, the attack occurred just as her son was getting home from school. She said,
“They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open…one of them poured gasoline, then flicked the Bic and said, ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve white boy.’”
So this guy should be slammed in jail, in irons if necessary, w/o trial. And the Police Chief fired for refusing to jump to conclusions.
Allen West: Some conservative. We’re supposed to be the side of “Nation of Laws.” But not when the shootee is one of West’s People, I guess. Oh well, this is the year for people to wash out of the conservative movement, and today it’s West’s turn. Bye.
Listen to the actual 911 Calls
Pretty diminutive for a football player.
I have a ‘partial’ report saved. And No where does it state that. The officer making the report noted that Zimmerman is wounded and bleeding and his back was wet and had grass all over it.
This report also states that Zimmerman is white. The date of the printout is 3/6
Can you copy the section where it states Zimmerman started the confrontation?
>> “I don’t see those witness statements in the police report, although I see there are multiple witnesses listed in the report.” <<
.
Have you ever heard of a shooter not being arrested if there was any evidence that the shoot wasn’t clean?
Figure it out!
When was the last time you know of in a shooting where the police allowed the shooter to keep his firearm, and didn’t subject it to any tests?
To start with I wasn’t sure what happened.
As more and more info is available I am leaning toward it being a justifiable homicide.
And to those who just automatically decide Zimmerman is guilty of murder, well you are wrong.
Charge in what police report?
Are you telling me at this time that Zimmerman has been arrested and charged with Homicide - Negligent, Manslaughter - Unnecessary Killing to Prevent Unlawful Act?
I’m not aware of any arrest at this time.
I read the article from the blaze and I don’t see any refernece to what you have listed.
And yes, I am -speculating - as to what happened, because I wasn’t there, and the media is only reporting one side of the story in a very biased fashion.
But you know what? Zimmerman wasn’t arrested, and that speaks VOLUMES, especially considering all the whiny race pimps crying for his arrest.
Furthermore, the police reports I’ve read support Zimmerman’s version of events, indicating he shot a violent criminal attempting to cause he harm or death.
And if that is the case, I SUPPORT ZIMMERMAN.
It is you who are disgusting supporter of a cold blooded murderer! A kid is dead, rejoice!
