The focus most certainly is race at the Zimmerman trial
Breitbart ^ | 6/29/13 | John Hayward

Posted on 06/29/2013 7:01:26 AM PDT by Lakeshark

In response to Martin Family Atty: 'We don't believe the focus was really race":

That's a remarkable statement to come from the Martin legal team, since race is the only reason we're having this trial at all. Everyone from the Martin family's lawyers, to the professional grievance industry, to characters like the New Black Panther Party was busy whipping up riot conditions and treating Zimmerman as a fugitive from racial justice, which led to filmmaker Spike Lee endangering the lives of an innocent couple that just happened to be named "Zimmerman." And there's a good reason the media referred to Zimmerman as "white" until photos of him finally leaked out, and they had to change it to "white Hispanic," a very special demographic of which George Zimmerman seems to remain the only high-profile member.

As the likelihood of a not-guilty verdict grows, the machinery of racial unrest is getting pumped up again. Death threats against "creepy ass cracka" George Zimmerman are flying around Twitter. An acquittal might be the best thing that could happen for certain political and cultural actors, as Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit suggested: "Obama and the Democrats would actually prefer an acquittal here. That’s because the whole point of the ginned-up Zimmerman affair was to inflame racial sentiment to boost black turnout in 2012. With any luck, they can turn an acquittal into another racial rallying cry, which will help in 2014. It’s not about Zimmerman; he’s just one of those eggs you have to break to make an Obama omelet." I suspect one reason the lawyers are starting to back away from the racial claims is that nothing has appeared to support them in court. There's very little left of the prosecution's case for second-degree murder;

I think that we should bomb Japan. I also think that we should bomb Germany. The Chinese tried to kill my father, so let’s bomb them too!
The Irish must always hate the English. The Indians must always hate the Europeans. We must cherish our hatred and hard feelings. We must take every opportunity to have revenge. Our ancestors were mistreated, so we must find the children of those who mistreated our ancestors, and make them pay.

My Dad said a black guy called my Grandpa a honky. I must hate every American who is black and take every opportunity to cheat them and make them pay for that.

And the Circle of Stupid goes on.

It's already happening. Note the 2 recent videos:

- The white mother getting beaten in her own home in front of her 3 year old daughter by a large black male home invader, and finally thrown down the stairs.

- The 15 y/o white boy getting jumped, beaten, and kicked while down, supposedly for his basketball shoes.


This generation have lost their morals, their restraint, and any respect for the law or the rule of law ("Dun meen nuttin to me, iz a cracka law!"). There is only one law they understand, and that is the rule of the street. Wake up folks, Disneyland is closed and you need to saddle up or become extinct in a violent manner. We are the new South Africa. What happened (is happening) there is here (not coming here, is here). Don't plan on being merciful, for you will receive none...

I’m willing to bet that they are rooting for an acquittal and the resultant riots. No matter how many Whites get injured or killed, you can bet that those who defend themselves will serve as a ‘reason” to disarm the People and ignite a renewed push to take weapons away.

“self defense from certain death on the concrete”

No, you don't get it. You have to wait until you are DEAD to know for “certain”. That's when you can pull your gun.

The prosecution desperately needs a slogan:

“If he’s a cracker, he must be the attacker”

If MLK were alive today in another body, and actually felt and acted like he is portrayed by history now, his people would condemn him as an Uncle Tom...

...many in his own time did in fact call him just that...

I’m aware of this. It is rather humorous that they, the detractors, now hold him hostage in such high regard to browbeat society into their demands.

After mentioning this case to a few people to check out reactions, black people fall along the same lines in this case as they do about voting for Obastard: About 95% think Zimmerman hunted down poor St. Skittles, beat him and murdered him in cold blood. They think Second-Degree Murder is actually too mild a crime. (My sampling is completely non-scientific, because everybody I asked is employed.)

IOW, line up 20 blacks, and only one will admit Martin got what he deserved. Obastard has set back race relations over 100 years, and he did it on purpose for his own gain.

"I don't understand the line of thinking that Zimmerman is somehow responsible for the incident by doing what neighborhood watch people (or other nervous people who live in areas with a history of crime) do. Walking around your own neighborhood and looking at someone is criminal provocation? And while he was getting "grounded and pounded" in an MMA-style beatdown, Zimmerman was supposed to do some mental calculations, conclude he'd probably survive the beating, and let the hammer blows fall?"

The DA indicted a “ham sandwich “ with the sheep in the grand jury.

On that I must beg to differ. The State Attorney very carefully avoided going to a grand jury and indicted Zimmerman on her own precisely because she knew a grand jury would not indict him, the evidence of a legitimate self defense killing being so compelling. IOW she deliberately Nifonged him, just like the entirely innocent defendants in the Duke Rape Case.

Somehow I feel it was concocted by a communist race hustler whose assassination kept him from being revealed as such.

“have managed to divide the country into racial groups approaching that of the early 60’s. All part of the plan.”

Do you think that Americans have seen enough to know figure out Obama is a traitor who is working to destroy America, not improve it?

And the plan is drawn up by who? Do you think Husssein Obama is a Muslim traitor working for the Muslim terrorists?

That would explain:

Benghazi, giving weapons to Muslim terrorists like Al Qaeda

Egypt: Giving US weapons and money to Muslim Brotherhood (Muslim terrorists)

Syria: Giving money and arms to Syrian rebels (Muslim terrorists)

FAST AND FURIOUS: Attempt to set up the US gun makers and owners as the problem in Mexico

ETC.

Hussein Obama appears to be on the wrong side of every issue is you’re an American but he is a perfect US President if you are a Muslim terrorist.

I stand corrected. It was even worse. This is 3rd world stuff— the Tyranny of political correctness overrides justice. The DA didn’t go to the Grand Jury. She went on a bill of presentment. She will be run out of Florida after this farce.There is no there there. Is the state ready to rest or are they going to continue this humiliation? I really think this is “color of Law’ violation of Zimmerman’s civil rights under 1983 and he should sue her for civil right deprivation.

It’s happened before, set your views to 20 instead of 50 and if that doesn’t work, disable sidebars. I haven’t had a problem since I did that.

Call it FReepin’ “economy class”. ;)
