Justice for Trayvon??

For broadcasting an edited recording of his 911 call in order to make him look like a racist. :eek:

Actually they continued to broadcast 'stories' prejudicial towards Zimmerman after the suit had been filed then held in abeyance. Once that suit had been filed they had a vested interest in there being a guilty verdict in the case which would have let them off the hook. Expect an out of court settlement.

In the case of MSNBC, editing tape to purposely injure Zimmerman.

the same MSNC that edited out all BLACK people at TEA PARTY rallies and PUT gins in hands of WHITE PEOPLE at Obama rallies, though the guns were held by BLACKS
 
TALKLEFT ON THE ZIMMERMAN CASE:



The legacy of this case will be that the media never gets it right, and worse, that a group of lawyers, with the aid of a public relations team, who had a financial stake in the outcome of pending and anticipated civil litigation, were allowed to commandeer control of Florida’s criminal justice system, in pursuit of a divisive, personal agenda.

Their transformation of a tragic but spontaneous shooting into the crime of the century, and their relentless demonization of the person they deemed responsible, not for a tragic killing, but for “cold-blooded murder,” has called into question the political motives and ethics of the officials serving in the Executive branch of Florida’s government, ruined the career of other public officials, turned the lives of the Zimmerman family, who are as innocent as their grieving clients, into a nightmare, and along the way, set back any chance of a rational discussion of the very cause they were promoting, probably for years. . . .

The problems of racial disparity and arbitrary enforcement of our criminal laws are real, systemic and need to be addressed. Criminal defense lawyers see it and fight to correct it every day. From charging decisions to plea offers to sentences, the system is not fair and everybody knows it.

But this case has never been representative of those problems.

Forced to fit the narrative, which was all about keeping black voters — and white-guilt liberal voters — in the fold for 2012 and 2014.
 
JACOB SULLUM: Sorry, the Zimmerman case has nothing to do with “Stand Your Ground.”



The story that George Zimmerman told about his fight with Trayvon Martin, the one that yesterday persuaded a jury to acquit him of second-degree murder and manslaughter, never had anything to do with the right to stand your ground when attacked in a public place. Knocked down and pinned to the ground by Martin, Zimmerman would not have had an opportunity to escape as Martin hit him and knocked his head against the concrete. The duty to retreat therefore was irrelevant. The initial decision not to arrest Zimmerman, former Sanford, Florida, Police Chief Bill Lee said last week (as paraphrased by CNN), “had nothing to do with Florida’s controversial ‘Stand Your Ground’ law” because “from an investigative standpoint, it was purely a matter of self-defense.” And as The New York Times explained last month, “Florida’s Stand Your Ground law…has not been invoked in this case.” The only context in which “stand your ground” was mentioned during the trial was as part of the prosecution’s attempt to undermine Zimmerman’s credibility by arguing that he lied when he told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he had not heard of the law until after the shooting. During his rebuttal on Friday, prosecutor John Guy declared, “This case is not about standing your ground.”

So how did Benjamin Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, respond to Zimmerman’s acquittal last night? By announcing that “we will continue to fight for the removal of Stand Your Ground laws in every state.”

Because they are, as usual, willing to try to exploit tragedy for political gain. Zimmerman’s case isn’t about black-white relations either — both Trayvon Martin and Zimmerman (who’s blacker than Homer Plessy) would be counted as African-American by any college “diverity” office in America, and Zimmerman was hispanic, too, but from the press coverage you’d think he was Bull Connor. The only thing that Zimmerman has in common with Bull Connor, though, is that Bull Connor was a Democrat too.

Meanwhile, people are raising a case that actually did involve stand your ground — the case of Marissa Alexander — as evidence of racial bias in the judicial system. But Angela Corey was the prosecutor there, and she seems to want to lock up anyone who uses a gun in self-defense. The main difference seems to be that the jury in the Alexander case believed Corey, though that may simply be because Zimmerman got better representation. Which opens up a whole different kettle of judicial fish that I doubt anyone really wants to talk about.

MSNBC’s Michael Eric Dyson Compares Zimmerman Verdict To 9/11: “You Know How You Felt On 9/11? That’s How We Feel”…




Speechless.

Via Mediaite:


MSNBC contributor and Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson attempted on Monday to craft an analogy to the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin in order to communicate the black community’s sentiment to the cable news network’s white viewers. “Remember how you felt on 9/11?” Dyson asked. “Yeah, that’s how we feel when it comes to race.” [...]

“We have to often tell people who get defensive about racism analogy, let’s make an analogy to terrorism,” he added. “So, you know how you felt on 9/11? yeah, that’s how we feel when it comes to race.”

Alexander had very poor representation. And that case didn't really involve 'Stand Your Ground' either, in spite of the defense trying to invoke it. It doesn't even involve 'Castle Defense' either.

Alexander is a victim of very poor representation as well as the fact that the judge was legislatively handcuffed when sentencing Alexander.

NAACP Collects Nearly 450,000 Signatures Demanding DOJ Prosecute Zimmerman…




There ain’t no justice like mob justice.

Via Orlando Sentinel:


Nearly 450,000 people have signed a petition created by the NAACP after a jury found George Zimmerman not-guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin Saturday, calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to launch a civil rights investigation.

“A jury has acquitted George Zimmerman, but we are not done demanding justice for Trayvon Martin. Sign our petition to the Department of Justice today,” read a note accompanying the petition on MoveOn.org, which partnered with the NAACP and urged people to sign on its site as well. read.

By mid-afternoon Sunday, the petition had garnered more than 275,000 signatures on the NAACP site, and the petition by MoveOn.org drew almost 175,000.

The petition, created by NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous, and addressed to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, calls for the DOJ to file “civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation.”
 
UPenn Professor On Trayvon Martin Case: “God Is A White Racist”…




Shockingly, UPenn’s Anthea Butler is a regular on MSNBC. Last time we heard from her she was telling female politicians that having an abortion is an “asset.”

The Zimmerman Acquittal: America’s Racist God — Anthea Butler


The not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman case has me thinking a lot about a book I first encountered in seminary, Is God a White Racist?, by the Rev. Dr. Bill Jones. As a budding seminary student, it took me by surprise. Now, as a wiser, older professor looking at the needless death of Trayvon Martin, I have to say: I get it.

God ain’t good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us. As a black woman in an nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god ain’t my god. As a matter of fact, I think he’s a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men.

When George Zimmerman told Sean Hannity that it was God’s will that he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, he was diving right into what most good conservative Christians in America think right now. Whatever makes them protected, safe, and secure, is worth it at the expense of the black and brown people they fear.

Their god is the god that wants to erase race, make everyone act “properly” and respect, as the president said, “a nation of laws”; laws that they made to crush those they consider inferior.

When the laws were never made for people who were considered, constitutionally, to be three-fifths of a person, I have to ask: Is this just? Is it right? Is God the old white male racist looking down from white heaven, ready to bless me if I just believe the white men like Rick Perry who say the Zimmerman case has nothing to do with race?
 
Inevitable: Race Pimp Al Sharpton To Hold Nationwide Trayvon Martin Protests…




Then again, nobody expected Al Sharpton would pass up a golden opportunity to get his race hustling mug in front of the cameras.

Via Politico:


The Rev. Al Sharpton is calling for a “Justice for Trayvon National Day of Action” on Saturday and say demonstrations are planned in more than 100 cities nationwide.

Saying there would not have been a trial in Florida without pressure from activists, Sharpton was confident that continued pressure would result in a federal civil rights case.

“When they’re telling you today, ‘I don’t know if they’re going to get a civil rights trial:’ We will. And we will get a civil trial,” Sharpton said on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show” on Monday morning. “What we’ve watched the last several weeks was not the system correcting itself, it was the people correcting the system. Now we’ve got to finish the job.”

National Action Network is organizing the protests at federal court buildings to press the Justice Department to bring a civil rights case against George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in the death of teenager Trayvon Martin by a Florida jury on Saturday.

Sharpton said his National Action Network intends to keep the pressure on until a civil rights case is brought, insisting the protests will show the national anger over the verdict is not a “two- or three-day” thing.
 
Nice to see the same outrage with this Not Guilty verdict that there was with the Not Guilty verdict for OJ Simpson.

So nice to see things held to the same standards!!! :).................:rolleyes:

Florida man shoots and kills 17-year-old teen after argument over loud music at gas station

Michael Dunn, 45, shot and killed teen Jordan Davis in Jacksonville on Friday, cops said. His lawyer said he acted in self-defense, drawing comparisons to
Investigators say Michael Dunn, 45, of Brevard County, shot Jordan Davis, 17, of Jacksonville on Friday after an argument over loud music at a gas station.





A Florida man asked a group of teens at a gas station to turn down the loud music blaring from their car and, after an exchange of words, opened fire on the vehicle, killing a 17-year-old boy, authorities said.

Michael Dunn, 45, of Satellite Beach, has been charged with murder for the Friday slaying of Jordan Davis, 17, a black high school student from the Jacksonville area.

His lawyer said Dunn, who is white, thought he saw a gun and felt threatened during the incident, indicating that he may seek protection under the state’s controversial Stand Your Ground Law, according to local reports.

"Self defense applies because Mr. Dunn was threatened," attorney Robin Lemonidis told CNN.

"We can't say what the defense will be at this stage … but Stand Your Ground is a possibility."

The alleged murder occurred on Friday as Dunn and his girlfriend were traveling to Jacksonville for his son’s wedding, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The pair pulled into a gas station parking lot and stopped next to an SUV, which Davis was sitting in with three other teens, authorities said.

While his girlfriend was inside the store, Dunn asked the teens to turn down the loud music they were playing, cops said.

Davis said something back and there was a heated exchange, authorities said.

Dunn then pulled a gun and fired at least eight shots, hitting Davis twice, cops told the Sentinel.

Dunn and his girlfriend then left the scene.

The Sentinel said the two were staying in a Jacksonville hotel on Saturday when they heard news reports about the teen’s death and drove back to his home in Satellite Beach.

He was arrested at his home on Saturday and charged with murder and attempted murder.

He remains in jail after being denied bond on Monday.

No guns were found inside the teens’ car, authorities said.

Davis’ family demanded justice, saying there was no way Dunn fired in self-defense.

"He did something that there was no defense for," Ron David, Jordan’s father, told CNN.

The shooting immediately drew comparisons to the murder of Trayvon Martin in February, which sparked protests over Florida’s self defense laws and accusations that George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot him, was a racist.

Lemonidis said his client was “no vigilante.”

“There are no comparisons to the Trayvon Martin situation," Lemonidis told CNN. "(Dunn) is devastated and horrified by the death of the teen."

Jordan, who was a student at a magnet school in Duval County, will be buried in his hometown of Marietta, Ga., where his mother lives, according to reports

If you want america to be a good place to live..

Please do your god given duty and boycott Florida. Any money spent inside the state will only make the forces of evil stronger. Let Disneyland grow up with weeds and let the rest of the state support themselves by selling their shit to each other.

Every loyal American should avoid giving any support to this racist, right-wing cesspool of a state.
