Trayvon Martin Family Attorney Gives Game Away: Says She's a "Social Engineer" in Case
Monday, July 15, 2013 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/15/2013 7:35:21 PM PDT by kristinn

Jasmine Rand, an attorney with Parks & Crump representing the family of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin told Greta Van Susteren tonight on the Fox News Channel that she is a "social engineer" more than an attorney.

Rand's statement came while being questioned by Van Susteren about her rejecting the jury's verdict clearing George Zimmerman in the February 26, 2013 shooting death of Martin in Sanford, Florida.

Van Susteren was quite ticked off at Rand over this and let her know.

Rand admitting to being a "social engineer" gives away the game that Parks & Crump has been playing hand in hand with the Obama administration: Their goal is not justice, but social engineering.

Yes or in other words, “It ain’t social justice until it agrees with our idea of justice”

When you think about it. .that was a hell of an admission wasn’t it? When the LAW doesn’t produce the desired outcome. .you turn to your higher calling..social engineering.

This needs to be repeated. Over and over.

And over and over and over.

Digging through her firm's website reveals an update to the portrait that they are using of her.

This page http://parkscrump.com/attorneys/jasmine-rand/#, her bio on the firm's site, currently links to this enhanced portrait:

The url of that photo "http://parkscrump.com/assets/pc_profile_jasmine1.png" suggests that there may be other photos of Jasmine on the website, to wit, http://parkscrump.com/assets/pc_profile_jasmine.png, which brings up the far less camera friendly photo you showed.

Yeah, I let out a very loud Ooooohhh! when she said that because she really gave away the game right there.
She really made herself look like quite an ass and good on Greta for being pretty outraged about it.

To the extent that it is true (very likely), Zim has been punked.

“Social engineer”? That sounds so...gulag-esque.

If she is actually a social engineer, in the political sense, I don’t think that is something she would want everyone to know.

I know at least some of it to be true. Suppose we should fact check the rest.

“The defense of all of this is, that even if it isn’t true that Zimmerman is a racist, it COULD be true, and therefore we have to run with it, for the better good of the culture.”

Wow! This is the clearest analysis I’ve encountered of the kind of irresponsible manipulative recklessness that keeps coming from the left whenever they see an opportunity to patronize some poor slobs so that they can use their heads as battering rams.

EXCERPTS

In Trayvon’s case, (Parks & Crump) alerted the news media more quickly. They phoned the Rev. Al Sharpton almost instantly, and organized marches with local civil rights activists. They also started pressing for federal involvement and alleging a cover-up from the get-go.

(snip)

“In court, you have the jury,” Crump says. “Our job is to get the case to a jury. We need to fight first in the court of public opinion. The jury is the American people.”

Someone Must Be Punished for Killing Trayvon Martin, Says Mom Sybrina Fulton
by Allison Samuels Mar 22, 2012 2:04 AM EDT

EXCERPT

The now controversial killing of Trayvon garnered virtually no mainstream media attention in the days immediately after he was fatally shot, but that all changed when the teenager’s parents decided to hire civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and his law firm to get more answers on exactly how and why their son died.

“They called me the same day they were notified that their son was dead,’’ Crump told The Daily Beast. “When I heard their unarmed teenage son was shot to death, I just knew there’d be an arrest shortly. There wasn’t an arrest 48 hours later, and then I knew we’d have to take this outside of Sanford if we wanted justice.’’

Trayvon’s parents were told by the Sanford police that Zimmerman wasn’t arrested in their son’s death because the facts of the case did not dispute his claim of self-defense.

For Crump, taking the Trayvon Martin story outside of Sanford simply entailed dialing up a few well-placed friends such as the Rev. Al Sharpton. Crump worked closely with the civil rights leader in 2006 on another racially charged case—the controversial death of a 14-year-old, African-American inmate of a Florida boot camp.

“I had to call people like Sharpton and a few other black civil rights leaders and the black media to tell them about this story,’’ said Crump. “I had to get them to understand what happened to this young man and what hadn’t happened in his case so they could spread the word.’’

Historically, cases of murder and violence against blacks in the United States rarely have been given the same amount of attention as cases in which the victims of crime are white—and often go unnoticed and unprosecuted.

Just days after hearing the details of Trayvon’s death, Sharpton arranged to have Crump and the teenager’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, on his syndicated radio show and his popular MSNBC show, Politics Nation, to tell their story.

(snip)

In the wake of non-stop media attention from the likes of Sharpton and CNN’s Don Lemon concerning the Trayvon Martin case, black media blogs such as MediaTakeOut.com and Huffington Post Black Voices also began publishing accounts and editorials about the Florida case—daily. Almost instantly, readers of all races, ages, and backgrounds began tweeting and posting on Facebook their outrage over how the police have handled the case, and the lack of an arrest in the shooting. To date, almost 1 million people have signed a Change.Org petition to have Zimmerman arrested. In response to the widespread outrage, the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the shooting.

Someone Must Be Punished for Killing Trayvon Martin, Says Mom Sybrina Fulton

Be careful what you ask for, Ms. Fulton, *you* bear some responsibility in the untimely death of your son, yourself. Did you ever once say, or do anything to discourage the attitude he was swiftly developing? You know, the whole "No Limit N---a" thing? No? I thought not.

The 'unofficial' prosecution rests its case...

Well they were railroading Zimmerman and even a runaway train needs an engineer.

She’s been on television for a year doing interviews. Is this the first time she was asked???

What part of jury of peers don’t they understand? On ! They think it should be Tyrone’s peers not George’s Me the people not we the people

Ironically it’s MOM who has defended many black youth and Z who saw the need to tutor and be a roll model who understand the problem and have been trying to solve it while the get rich and use the community for their own Aggrandizement
