>>”Lt Col ALLEN WEST DOES!!!!!!
Simply the BEST...better than alllll the rest”<<

Think again.

West has joined with 0bama, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan and the ‘hoodie brigade’ in calling for the head of George Zimmerman. I used to respect him and admire him. Not any more. Another self-proclaimed “Black Conservative” bites the dust.

THIS is what he said.... I read that he's upset that the incident happened and speaks to the law and his concerns with how a person behaved. I do NOT read any color or racial bias whatsoever. Where do you see it??? THIS is what he said:

George Zimmerman, in his role as neighborhood watch of a gated suburban community in Florida, had “no authorization” to take action against 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) told TPM Friday. “This is a self-made head of a community neighborhood watch. That’s where my concern is.” Zimmerman claims he shot Martin — who was only carrying a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea — in self defense. The shooting has renewed debate over Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows the use of deadly force if a person feels threatened. West said the Florida law “does not apply whatsoever” to the Martin case, because Zimmerman was not being pursued by Martin. Anti-gun lobbyists shouldn’t use the legislation to score political points, West added, without commenting on the law further. Martin’s death has sparked a national outcry. Amid the outrage over the shooting, Sanford, Florida, Police Chief Bill Lee “temporarily” stepped aside from the Martin case, because he said his involvement was becoming a distraction. In a scathing statement Thursday, West called the case an “outrage” and urged Lee to step down. The police chief’s doing so is a “positive step,” West said. The Justice Department, along with local and state authorities, are investigating the shooting, which West said is “exactly what we should have happen.”

I suppose you'll be saying Gingrich joined with 0bama, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan and the‘hoodie brigade,’ too now:

The killing of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin is tragic, but the investigation is being handled properly and the stand your ground law should not apply, according to presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. “I think Americans can recognize that while this is a tragedy — and it is a tragedy — that we’re going to relentlessly seek justice, and I think that’s the right thing to do,” Gingrich told CNN’s Piers Morgan. “I’m sure he’s going to present the evidence, not just the 911 call but the previous 911 calls and the fact that the police have been dealing with this guy, apparently, for a year. I have faith that the American system of justice will in fact work, and this is why you have a balance between the police and the district attorney.”

And just in case you think he IS:

Speaking on Sean Hannity's radio show, Mr Gingrich said: 'What the president said, in a sense, is disgraceful. 'Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it didn’t look like him? That’s just nonsense dividing this country up. 'When things go wrong to an American, it is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.'
