The Trayvon Martin case has sparked violent outbursts from angry protestors on both sides of the fence. Unfortunately, the list of violent incidents continues to grow.
March 25-26: At least seven white people were attacked by mobs of black people in Grand Rapids, Michigan. / "The detective also told Jacob that he believed the Trayvon Martin media frenzy is what prompted the attacks."
April 5: A 78-year-old Ohio man said that he was the victim of a hate crime after a group of young black men attacked him while shouting, This is for Trayvon.
April 10: Police in Gainesville, FL investigated a racially motivated incident after several black men attacked a white man. The victim was punched in the face and was then struck several more times while he was on the ground. The attackers allegedly chanted, Trayvon before the attack.
April 25: An Alabama man was attacked by a mob of 20 black people in his home. The attackers used brass knuckles, pipes, paint cans, and other makeshift weapons to beat the victim. / "one of the assailants referenced Trayvon Martin during the attack."
April 26: A 15-year-old black male was charged with a hate crime for attacking and robbing white victims. Police say that the suspect pinned the victim, threatened him with a large tree branch, and then said, Empty your pockets, white boy. / "he was angry about the Trayvon Martin case."
July 14: Riots in Oakland, California turned violent when protestors threw rocks at reporters and policemen, causing an estimated $50,000 in property damage.
July 15: An eyewitness claims that a group of young black men assaulted a Hispanic man while shouting, This is for Trayvon! The eyewitness stated, "They were just yelling and calling him names as they ran after him, but once they were hitting him and after that they started yelling, This is for Trayvon, [expletive].

Oh, so “they” have now decided to report attacks on whites because “they” feel they can connect it to TM when in reality this has been going on for some time. “They” hope to increase the attacks by reporting at this time.
Violent outbursts from angry protestors on BOTH sides of the fence?
Bull****.
And just where are the violent angry whites attacking the innocent blacks? Where is that fence?
If our dear Barack had a caring bone left in his body, I’d think he’d appeal for the violence to be called off even if he utterly disagrees with how the case came out. There was some ambiguous stuff in the account but the story is at least as compatible with a very watchful and patient GZ who did not threaten TM except in TM’s inflamed mind and who even after the attack started would have rather had the attack stopped by police than kill TM himself, as it is with the “brute murderer” scenarios that have been floated. This is a fellow who earlier protested police brutality towards black people and who voted for Barack for president, for goodness’ sake; that hardly looks like some kind of crypto-racist. And the legal standard for criminal conviction in the US is very clear. You don’t get to send someone away here because you loathe an unprovable possibility to the bottom of your heart.
But anyhow, sometimes evil does have to grow in order that we will notice it.
Hoodie and Skittles Solidarity, Man!
Sopater: “...and grows, and grows, and grows...”
In large part due to intentional misinformation spread by the media in order to achieve “social justice” (whatever that is) and increase viewership.
In a way, I don’t blame a lot of the blacks who are infuriated by the outcome of the Zimmerman trial. They are fed a constant stream of misinformation by the media. If I watched the news on a lot of channels, I’d hear a completely different rendition of the “facts” than what came out at the trial. I’d hear how an armed Zimmerman stalked Trayvon based solely on the young man’s skin color. There’s simply no evidence that that is what happened, but that’s the meme the media is spreading.
I think the media is THRILLED by all of this, including the riots. Scumbags!
Sopater: “Much like the prosecution’s case against Zimmerman, so far there is no evidence of violent outbursts from Zimmerman supporters.”
Actually there’s one report of a 40-something white woman who attacked a 73 year old musician after he mentioned Trayvon in his performance.
IT WAS GRUESOME: WAITER PUMMELED IN THE FACE WITH HAMMER-LIKE OBJECT WHILE PROTECTING BUSINESS DURING TRAYVON PROTEST
And a real justice department would be investigating the media's involvement.
And even one’s too many but for goodness sake compare the numbers. Someone has a speck and someone has a beam.
And just who is going to carry that out.
More to the point is that some people actually do believe that, as stated in the Bible, even in the midst of the worst evil the good Lord still provides the need of those who give Him full credit for doing so. We don’t have all these imaginary resources to deploy... and God does not expect us to deploy them either if they are not at hand. We do need to follow His plan of love if we want to be blessed and to effect blessings in the world. That’s quite upside-down from what the world does, which is to rage at every obstacle.
Z did not even know or mention Martin’s race until he was asked by the police dispatcher.
None of these will be called hate crimes. The left feels that the old man walking home deserves to be attacked because he is White.
The country is in deep $h!t.
