African-American Lynch Mob

David Horowitz

Is anybody else out there as sick and tired as I am of lynch mob racists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (vide: Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse kids) who don the mantel of the “civil rights” movement to indict non-blacks in advance of the facts, and incite racial rage against them? Yet that is exactly what they – and scores of black leaders — are doing to an Hispanic individual named George Zimmerman. Along with a cast of thousands, they are holding him guilty of racism before the fact, justifying a hatred, as inflammatory as the hatred once spewed by southern crackers against blacks.

There is no evidence whatsoever that race was a defining factor in the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. Notwithstanding the absence of evidence, this unhappy incident is now the occasion for school shut-downs, mass marches and public death threats by enraged African Americans, displaying behaviors reminiscent of the lynch mobs that were once a scourge of their parents’ generation in a now rejected past.

The facts surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin have not been investigated and are still uncertain. But the lynch mob has delivered its verdict: George Zimmerman is guilty of a race crime; Trayvon Martin was killed because he was black. “Trayvon is the Emmett Till of our generation,” said one mob leader, referring to the 12-year-old who was murdered by white racists in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.

There no verifiable evidence for this fact-challenged, inflammatory, claim. According to the lone eyewitness to come forward, it was Martin who attacked Zimmerman and was on top of him and beating him to a pulp when the fatal shot was fired. The fact that Zimmerman’s face was bloody when the police arrived, is an apparent corroboration of this version of the event. Is this what happened? We don’t know. But it is a claim that should get tested in a court of law. Unfortunately to a lynch mob the evidence is irrelevant, the conclusion foregone.

If the demonstrators were merely calling for an investigation that would be proper. But the cries for retribution, and the accusations of racism, which dominate the public demonstrations are not. And that goes for the statement of the President as well. Not willing to be separated from his racial constituency, even when they are behaving badly, Obama has lent his prestige to the insinuation that the crime was inspired by the victim’s race. Otherwise there would be no reason to mention the fact that “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon”? Everyone who has a son should be concerned by the loss of this life. By making it racial, the president is establishing guilt without evidence, and indicting non-black America as well.

The display of racial outrage over this case is a national disgrace. It is a throwback to the past and a shameful repudiation of the values the civil rights movement once stood for but apparently does no longer.

What do you mean? They have already conquered Detroit, Gary, Camden, St Louis and look how well those cities are doing.

[lentulusgracchus]

Many times they'll murder someone, and just make up something like, "He said the word nigger", implying this would somehow give them the right to shoot, or beat someone to death.

That's exactly what the Eight Trey Gangsta Crips defendants claimed in the Reginald Denny beating case (they brain-damaged him and nearly killed him) when they went to trial, and their hoe's backed them up and claimed Denny had driven through the intersection spewing "racial epithets". He hadn't done anything of the sort -- the Crips were attacking motorists left and right.

Denny was saved from death only by the intercession of a black minister who stood over him until help arrived.

Horowitz ought to learn the facts about Till. He was 14, not 12, and did more than "whistle at a white woman." He aggressively propositioned a married woman and was killed by her husband after taunting him by bragging about having slept with white women. Still a totally unjustified murder and maybe Till was heroic, but he was a one-person banzai charge against white racism in Mississippi, not a naive 12-year-old who merely whistled inappropriately.

The early church honored martyrs, but some people refused to honor those who courted martyrdom by deliberately drawing the authorities' attention to themselves. Till was a martyr who courted his fate--if he had shut his mouth after the husband grabbed him he might be alive today. But maybe that makes him the African American equivalent of Achilles.

Lots of Mexicans have German sounding last names. Linda Ronstadt, for example.

[Chuckster]

Clearly he has a white name

“Half-rican American” has a cool ring to it.

What are all these people convicting this guy if they are not like a lynch mob? I agree with him, and I’m not afraid to say it.

For all CCW holders, memorize these steps BEFORE you’re involved in a self-defense confrontation.
Self-defense shooting (Massad Ayoob)

1. Make the call to 911. Law presumes who made the call to be the victim.
2. Holster your pistol so you don’t appear threatening when the cops show up. Keep one hand on the pistol, keep your eyes on the attacker, and hold your other hand up so the cops can see it.
3. Tell the cops who arrive on-scene:
A. I’m the one who called.
B. That’s the man who attacked me.
C. He may still have a weapon.
D. I don’t know if there are any more.
4. The five things to say as the scene is being secured::
A. This man attacked me.
B. I will sign the complaint.
C. Evidence is here.
D. The witnesses are there.
E. I will cooperate fully with you 24 hours after contacting counsel.
5. Make no further statements to anyone, especially the media. If you must talk to the media, make sure any statements are made through your attorney.

[the invisib1e hand]

is “Zimmerman” a Jewish name, and is Jesse taking “Hymietown?”

[Senator Goldwater]

Thats amazing. Although doctored photos by the media shouldn’t surprise anyone.

[AlanGreenSpam]

Does this surprise anyone (about the world’s best know race-baiter)?

[dragnet2]

It appears this is Mr. Martin.

[RegulatorCountry]

I know what “made” means in other contexts, as far as gang or even mafia activity.

How was Trayvon Martin “made?”. What did he do to prove himself, and to whom?

[BilLies]

I don’t think so.

[BilLies]

Better re-check your “Facts mam’m”.

[Prospero]

As much as I agree with Horowitz, and admire him, as a fellow "Radical Son," I'm also descendant of "Southern Crackers."

Dare I accuse him of political correctness?
