Former Republican presidential candidate and businessman Herman Cain told The Daily Caller hes concerned that the facts of 17-year-old Trayvon Martins killing may be getting lost amid the heated political and racial rhetoric surrounding the case.
Where is the investigation? Cain said in an email to TheDC. That is the question that should be asked, and answered, before all of this swirling rhetoric creates an even more tense situation out of this very tragic incident. We need a complete investigation and all the facts, not a premature War of Words.
Cain added that were there are some troubling questions about how police initially handled Martins death, the facts need to come out before the American people rush to judgment.
On the surface, it appears this was a senseless killing, Cain said. And it appears as if the suspect was not taken into custody. It appears there wasnt an immediate or thorough investigation.
Im not an investigator, but I believe all the facts should be out on the table before we draw any more conclusions in this case, he continued.
African-American conservative commentator Deneen Borelli told TheDC she thinks Martin Luther King, Jr. wouldnt condone the way some activists have handled the Martin shooting.
He [King] would never condone what Spike Lee has done, who tweeted Zimmermans address, Borelli, the author of BlackLash, a book critical of tactics employed by some progressives in situations where race may be a factor, said. He would not condone President Obamas comments and Al Sharpton injecting himself into this situation the way that he has. This is something that Martin Luther King would absolutely not stand for.
There is nothing there that proves your recent slur against me. “Credibility” fail, again.
Also, there is nothing in the article linked that details the Sanford PD officers and Mr. Zimmerman “laughing and smoking” after the shooting, as you alleged.
Again, I call for you to do the honorable and right thing; either post the source links to your scurrilous accusations against the Sanford PD and Mr. Zimmerman or retract them.
You’ve only proven that lying is your talent, nothing more.
Slandering people in support of some hidden agenda as part of some other gambit.
Still waiting for you to either source the “laughing and smoking” statement or for you to retract your despicable lie.
Produce evidence of this specious bullcrap claim. I want something more solid than your line on a forum.
Because *I* have it from several eyewitnesses that Travon Martin *IS NOT DEAD* and is alive and well in Jamaica, loving all the news coverage.
