After acquittal, Zimmerman still in spotlight (who wields the spotlight?)
Associated Press ^ | Sep 14, 2013 9:37 AM EDT | Allen G. Breed and Kyle Hightower

Whether they think that he got away with murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin or that he was just a brave neighborhood watch volunteer “standing his ground,” many Americans can’t seem to get enough of George Zimmerman. And he can’t seem to stop giving it to them.

So it’s hardly surprising that everything Zimmerman does produces a Twitterverse explosion and spins out into heavy news coverage.

So the media’s pursuit of Zimmerman in order to scrutinize his every move translates into “giving it to them”? This is USSR-style stuff.

Just like the Media morons saying how “polarizing” and “controversial” Tim Tebow is when it’s nothing but a Media false creation. I don’t want to read anything more about Zimmerman - I am glad he was exonerated by the jury. Now let the guy alone. None of this should have been a national story in the first place, but these dogs of race wars won’t let it go. No one could stand up to such scrutiny, but it is useful to keep people diverted from the massive criminality of our government.

A flawed piece beginning with the first sentence. The Zimmerman case wasn’t any kind of debate about Stand Your Ground.

“If I were GZ I would change my name, location, and face.”

If he legally changes his name there are records and they’d be on the news instantly. If he changes his location he gets a cable account and a power connection and there’s a record. If he changes his face there will be a million paparazzi to photograph the new one. The photo will be worth millions. He can’t work as no company wants that kind of scrutiny. He can’t move to a new neighborhood without reporters camping in his neighbor’s yards. He’s in a special Hell where America sends celebrities. Solzhenitsyn begged reporters to leave him alone and they said, “We can’t. You’re news.”

Then (I mean this in a GZ-friendly way) he should move to a free country.

I hear Costa Rica is actually very nice (Link).

If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3042477/posts
This is reference to an editorial run in Canada Free Press. The Canadians got it right.! Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state .

Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage.. Taking some poor guy of mixed race including black doing his job and painting a target on his back to fullfill a socialist agenda.

The truth and purpose behind the Zimmerman persecution .. The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..

An area having a “Neighborhood Watch” and the person working security just doing his job. Why was this episode politicized ?...The first was to gin up the base for purposes explained herein ..

If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches and had the courage to fight PC and defend Zimmerman they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. The few who are still “milking this” by accepting black callers. While they are commentators and not bonafide “newspersons” nothing was stopping them from offering the facts for discussion.

Allowing callers to mis-state the facts such as as Martin was “the victim”, “stalked” or Martin was “stopped” and “questioned” when there was no legal right to do so.If the aftermath of this insidious revisionist assult were investigated everyone of the perpetrators in this recent rash of racial killings would state they believe this is true. . Instead these hosts fail to cite the simple facts outlined and documented here, allow the callers miss-conceptions go unchallanged, or cite examples of policy or corruption let alone ask them what has Obama done for you? Or even dismiss them as unfortunately being used and deliberately mis-informed..

Particularly a “gated” neighborhood watch.When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person they’re observing..That’s the Watch Captain’s who is really a security guard’s job.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3054721/posts

The person of mixed race including black working security was attacked on private rights of way while on foot who discontinued an observation and was returing to his vehicle after being suggested by the police to do so.

Legally he could have approached Saint Trayvon but didn’t..The hooded tall figure was allowed to continue on his way.unimpeded. But didn’t. That figure turned out to be a Martin Trayvon who doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker as he was returing to his vehicle. Knocked him to the ground and began beating him severly. Saint Trayvon, the attacker, was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.

Both were dark skined and could “pass” as cousins.

The facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent, to be committed .

While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..

Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3048225/posts http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3048631/posts

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites and “hispanics” who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is.

Particularly the black media which had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually. But instead quoted the reports from various “mainlining” socialist media sources: Some examples here all of which serve the first purpose of selecting Zimmerman as the target. What is the result ?

Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury and some cases stalked their white victims.

In reality these victims are martyrs to the cause of American socialism.,and the political opposition says nothing..

What could the purpose be ?

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..

But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.

That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 160 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts

You are encouraged to Print this up or email and -pass it on....Why ? Time to expose citizens to the face the facts that they may believe whatever activity they get involved in is perfectly legitimate and legal. If it suits their purposes this regime and its adhearants will paint a target on their back. Wether it’s a black hispanic who gets turned into a “white hispanic” or union members losing their health care benefits if Obamacare gets funded.

To date the political opposition known as Republicans has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates. Time to ask them why ?

You are right. "So it’s hardly surprising that everything Zimmerman does produces a Twitterverse explosion and spins out into heavy news coverage."

Hardly surprising because that's what the Mainstream Media is set on doing.

Part of the MSM campaign to keep him in the news with negative reporting is to ensure that Black resentment in the big cities remains stoked. Black resentment ensures high Black electoral turnout for Obama and his comrades. That it also ensures increasing Black on White violence does not bother Leftists who see such violence as 'revolutionary' and who feel safe in the knowledge that the MSM will not report it and risk stoking the resentment of Whites.
There is another reason however why the MSM is hunting Zimmerman down. They feel cheated by him! First he misled them with his name. They assumed at the outset of the Trayvon Martin death, when re-electing Obama was the MSM priority, that Zimmerman was White. Eagerness to launch a Black victim campaign for the election led to sloppy reporting but once launched it was more annoying to have to pull back than to simply present Zimmerman as Hispanic.
Remember, this Media Class is convinced that reality can be ignored, history constantly revised and facts - like morality - are situational. Worse still for the MSM, because the facts could not be changed enough in Court, Zimmerman cheated both the gallows and the Media Class again. The Media Class is seething with rage about Zimmerman and will not rest until he is ruined, maybe driven to suicide or is assassinated. It is probably written in every reporter's notebook "Zimmerman must pay!"
