I suspect that Jay-Z, Beyonce and Obama worked this out via test messages before they decided what to do.

The death of Trayvon Martin and subsequent acquittal of his killer have exposed an unfortunate culture of the targeting and criminalization of young people of color in Florida

And now for the truth

the media, hate filled black people, white marxists, and the government's relentless attacks on george Zimmerman have exposed an unfortunate culture of the targeting and criminalization of white people in the united states.

What the black community needs are white people to be around as assigned pairs to young black men. That way when they hold up a liquor store, commit armed robbery, assault, or rape someone, the white person gets shot as their assigned stand-in.

That's justice. If George Zimmerman had shot a white guy and Trayvon as a pair, that would prove no profiling took place.

10,543 US blacks killed by blacks in the 503 days between the Trayvon shooting and the Zimmerman acquittal... and the media and black community could not care less. They only care that someone who isn't an urban thug fought back against an urban thug...

and just like the Democrats who passed the Jim Crow laws to keep newly freed slaves defenseless and cowed, modern Democrats cannot stomach the idea of one of their wage slaves successfully fighting back against the trillion-dollar system of redistribution to urban vote slaves.

Under the direction of Martin family attorney Crump a false image and narrative was developed by Julison Communication. A campaign of intimidation by the NAACP, Sharpton, Jackson, the Congressional Black Caucus, Dream Defenders, and the Black Panthers resulting in the firing of the Chief of Police, demotion of detectives, and eventually the arrest and charging of Zimmerman. These groups and individuals where working at the behest of Martin family attorney Crump, the same Crump who hired the PR firm.

These people conspired to intimidate public officials and are committing an ongoing fraud resulting in violent assaults. These people should be arrested.

According to the request, the students want the following items addressed:

- Fully repeal Stand Your Ground Law

- Require law enforcement agencies to develop written policies defining and prohibiting racial profiling.

- Mandate law enforcement training on racial profiling.

- Repeal zero-tolerance policies in schools.

- Promote restorative justice programs for youth.

Absolutely none of which are relevant to Trayvon Martin's case.

Stand Your Ground played no role in the case.

Zimmerman was not law enforcement. And there's no evidence he "profiled" Trayvon, anyway.

Trayvon was suspended because he was a thief -- following which he played whoop-ass on a school bus driver. How much "tolerance" should the school district practice so as not to suspend his sorry ass -- and, thus, hold him in Miami, out of harm's way in Sanford?

"Restorative justice"? What the hell is that? Has it ever worked? And how does it apply to Trayvon -- who, admittedly should have been in a Miami jail rather than in Sanford, staying with his dad's girlfriend.

My theory is our twice unconstitutionally elected admitted foreign born communist President Obama is organizing all this through Sharpton to draw attention away from Banghazi, Egypt and his commie care. Like I posted in another thread, Al Sharpton is $2.6 million in debt to the IRS. How much you want to bet that miraculously disappears *poof* after all this dies down?

Cases like this Zimmerman/Trayvon case happen every single day. Even when some crazed cop shoots an unarmed black kid you don’t get this kind of attention. But an obvious self-defense case as this does?

A few years ago here in New York city a drunk white cop was driving and he hit a black woman and killed her and he got 90 days. Hell-ooo, New York city is Al Sharptons home base. Absolutely no protests.

I read that Dream Defenders is a front for the Communists, Acorn, Occupy, SEIU and George Soros.

At least getting rid of “Zero Tolerance” is a good idea...

Did you mention that there had been a rash of burglaries in the area, by black youth?

That TM was caught at school, by school police, with stolen goods in his backpack, 2 weeks before. (it wasn't from Zimmermans neighborhood, but from a house not too far from St. Trayvons school.)

This is my response to the CBS Miami article:

"The laws Florida has now have caused violent crime to diminish in every state employing them. This "students" are so ill informed and deluded that they cannot admit that Trayvon Martin was a developing felon and met his fate for deportment and prowling thief on the night he chose not to return to his residence but to assault a community watch person. He was not profiling as a black person, his actions fit a thief, which he had already proven to be in his school. These students need to be corrected and punished for their unlawful blocking of public property, and if necessary, arrested."

I encourage other FReepers to leave comments on such sites as often as possible. This is as answer to those signing a petition.

“At least getting rid of “Zero Tolerance” is a good idea...”

I’m not sure... if they are talking zero tolerance in schools, right now a black and a white get in trouble for say fighting, they both get punished...this may make it possible to only punish whitey. But we’ll see...

What would happen if such an ill-advised law was to be written? If police were given notice that "profiling" young black suspects would land them in jail and fired? I'll tell you what.

When a cop sees a crime in progress, and the criminal appears to be darker than a snowflake, they would look the other way and drive on by. It's the law now. Can't touch that.

It is sad that the real issue in this case will never be discussed nor even mentioned. The Left, hysterically focused on guns and gun "violence", do all they can to keep the focus on one of their favorite pet peeves: gun ownership.

The real issue? Public civility. Too many people walk around with a tough guy/chip on the shoulder look and gait, just waiting for someone, maybe even accidentally, to cross them. The wrong look, word or even just not getting out of their way fast enough will set them off into confrontation mode. They are just itching for a fight.

Civility these days is only skin deep for many. As long as they get what they want, they'll be civil. But if they think they can get what they want by getting loud, making a scene, shouting, threatening, they'll do it. Decent people know a quiet word with the manager or someone in charge can go a long way to resolving an issue, and decent people prefer not to make a spectacle of themselves.

So what is it with the change in politeness and civility? Is it that people just perceive that being brutish and in-your-face is the only way to get what they want? Is that an environment issue? Are people raised that way in a house like that? Or is it too much coddling and letting people "do what they want", meaning with little or no regard for anyone else ("Hey, as long as I get mine, right?").
