Although he certainly did not intend to, the drugged and despondent 17-year-old who wandered through a failing Florida subdivision on a rainy February night ten years ago Saturday launched a new phase in the American civil rights movement.
This was to be the Jacobin phase, the phase in which traditional civil rights standards such as equality before the law and innocent until proven guilty yielded to mob rule and race-based outcomes.
Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin would not live to see this transition. The 28-year-old man who shot and killed Trayvon, George Zimmerman, has lived in the shadows of Jacobin justice every day of the last ten years, always with an eye out for assassins like the one who nearly killed him in 2015.
On February 26, 2012, Trayvon had reason to be despondent. His school had suspended him for the third time that school year. His mother, Sybrina Fulton, had kicked him out of the house. His father, Tracy Martin, had abandoned the stepmother who helped raise Trayvon for a new girlfriend, Brandy Green. And, most immediately, "Diamond," the 16-year-old who had stolen his heart, was playing him for a fool.
Exiled to Green's townhouse in Sanford, 250 miles from his Miami home, Trayvon texted and called throughout that last day looking for reassurance from Diamond. He didn't get it. Instead, she taunted him with tales of her "clubbing" adventures the night before. In his final texts that rainy Sunday, Trayvon's desperation showed through: "wat up with u man how u feel bout me cuz u not say cuz bout to hung up ur ass."
For George, meanwhile, it was just another Sunday. About 7 P.M. that evening, he headed out to Target to buy lunch meat for a week's worth of sandwiches.

What LBJ and the Great Society has wrought.
Trayvon did us a favor. He set the standard justifying the use of deadly force against an unarmed attacker. Zimmerman waited until the last second, with Trayvon pounding his head into the pavement, before he used his weapon to defend himself.
One of the best summations of the case I have seen, and I have written several articles about it myself.
.
I suggest that all Freepers, all 100,000 of us, read this article. An excellent summary, indeed.
Did they sanction the attorneys who allowed an imposter to claim she was Diamond to testify on the stand?
Egads, the Skittles! What a bunch of lib douches.
However this line is either wrong, or I am reading it wrong ??
... In fact, Diamond, the real girlfriend, had been on the phone with George right up until the end. ...
Obama, always was and always will be a. COMMUNITY. ORGANIZER.
And a racist.
George was named after his uncle, Jorge. One day at lunch with the Zimmermans (George’s parents), I observed that if they had named George “Jorge,” this case would never have left Sanford.
The Jacobins convinced the public that this person of color was a white supremacist. Similarly, they would have convinced the public that Jorge’s name was George.
I think the line is wrong.
This. The entire Black Lies Matter movement is based on three completely false narratives of supposed racist injustice. Trayvon “Saint Skittles” Martin, Michael “Gentle Giant” Brown and Freddy Gray. All were the instigators of their own deaths. It’s ALL LIES.
I suspect it should say Trayvon instead of George.
Even worse it continues. The animals that spawned Trayvon have made a nice life of lying.
Plenty of people here were against Zimmerman at the time.
And the Michael Brown lie is still being circulated: “hands up, don’t shoot.”
