No, Obama was not Trayvon 35 yrs. ago just a budding lefty
So if I understand Obama's racial speech the other day if I'm driving along and decide it would be a good idea to lock my doors, after all white guys do alot of carjackings, but just then a black guy is crossing the street I should not lock my doors so as to not offend the black man or something like that. Our frank national conversation on race continues.

I don't think you really got it.
ReplyDeleteNo I got it, it was a weak predictable speech.
ReplyDeletePersonally I don’t give a flying fig about the Martin family or about any of their claims of racism. Or about what these de dig-bat liberals say or blog about that thug who was out looking for trouble that night. I’m sorry a young man aka “child” died, but I’m more sorry that another man was placed in a position where defending his life almost cost him his life. Isn’t it interesting that Zimmerman’s whole life was investigated and put before the public, but “sweet little innocent” Trayvon’s background wasn’t allowed to be put before the jury. And they made Trayvon’s Dad out to be some sort of a Saint also. That clown should be put on the cover of Time Magazine as Liberal Dad of the Year!
ReplyDeleteI’m very thankful that the jury had the backbone to render a verdict based on the evidence instead of on the BS of a parade of witnesses, like their star witness Martin’s friend, that Rocket Scientist Rachel Jeantel.
Also here a FACT that NOBODY seem to catch on . The prosecution, the media, and all of those bleeding heat Libs out there has focuses on the fact that Trayvon purchased Skittles at 7-11 before his deathly confrontation with Zimmerman, but they fail to mention one BIG FACT, he was also buying Arizona Fruit Juice, both of which are ingredients used to create a home-made drug called “Sizzurp”

I wonder if our dear leader did THAT 35 years ago?
Obama's thinking is somewhat dated imo. If I'm security and a black guy is shopping in a store and Lindsay Lohan is also shopping I'm gonna follow Lindsay Lohan.
ReplyDeleteActually he's more like Zimmerman on crack. He's killed a lot of men, women, and children with his drones.
ReplyDeleteObama said. “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago,”
ReplyDeleteThat's Right: a Drug-dealing Thug from a Broken Home up to No Good and Willing to Do Anything to Get Ahead - Including Lying , Stealing from Others, Pot Smoking, and Starting a Race War......
Only white people think there's no racism in America.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one of them.
ReplyDeleteLately though I've been more troubled by we don't like a certain verdict on the state level so let's protest and get the feds to take it. Oh I know I know it's not double jeopardy because it's a civil rights case but to me it is a form of double jeopardy. I've already gone on the record as saying I can respect those who feel Zimmerman should have been convicted of manslaughter but we don't need a president merely repeating Al Sharpton talking points.

ReplyDelete"Only white people think there's no racism in America."
Obama talked about the parents of Trayvon Martin and what they have gone through. He failed to mention that two families were impacted by this tragedy. He ignored the Zimmermans just like he ignored the family of Brian Terry. Not politically advantageous, so ignore it. He mentioned everyone in the trial. He said nothing about RESPECTING the decision of the jury. His respect for the law......none..
He said nothing about the violence resulting from the verdict. Do not criticize the mob. Silence is implied consent. With all the death threats and after his AG kept Zimmerman's gun, he said nothing about people not taking measures into their own hands. Again, don't upset the mob.
This speech was not leadership, not Presidential, not meant to heal. It was meant to divide, exploit and keep fermenting turmoil. Worthy of a low level political hack. Keep up the turmoil so no one looks at Benghazi, the NSA, the IRS, etc. etc. etc.
Now go sip some more Kool Aid.
..
There's a broad conservative school of thought that Zimmerman did absolutely nothing wrong, exercised great judgement in the situation etc. I do not subscribe to that school of thought Saty and if you say so I'll call you on it. The prosecution overcharged in this case with second-degree murder when it should have been a manslaughter case plain and simple and besides that the prosecution gave it their best shot which was awful goes the consensus. Murder is Jodi Arias, murder is OJ Simpson, it was not what happened here. It doesn't even mean the jury accepted all of Zimmerman's account hook line and sinker but usually Gray Area = Reasonable Doubt.
ReplyDeleteAl Sharpton can call Jews "diamond merchants" and still have a career...Paula Deen?
ReplyDeleteExactly! Good point . Except these. Brain washed Zlobs. Believe what they want to believe, facts don't matter.
DeleteThe new look is bright and optimistic. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteOh so many thoughts on the Carlos Danger situation!
ReplyDeleteZimmerman: not about race.
ReplyDeleteIMO, it is about loser wannabee cops packing heat. They are dangerous, stupid and endemic.
I agree BB. He was told to stay in the car. Zimmerman by not following dispatcher's instructions to stay in his car caused a certain chain of events to happen. However as one version goes Trayvon was on top of him by then and might have been reaching for his gun and then the case turns towards self-defense. Tad complicated.
DeleteIt's a myth that only black people are bothered. Few years back I was coming back from the Danbury Mall and stopped at the Bedford Rest Area on 684 and was having a soda on a park bench when a state trooper approached me and asked "what are you doing here?" I said I was doing some Xmas shopping at the Mall and asked him what's this all about when he said they've had alot of complaints about this particular rest area, rowdyism drugs etc. Point being you get bothered when you happen to be in an area where there's been stuff going on and it doesn't matter if you're black or white you still get questioned. There were alot of burglaries and breakins at the time in Zimmerman's neighborhood and I'm guessing that even a white stranger would've been questioned. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteIf you are at all trying to insinuate that race doesn't enter into it, or that white privilege doesn't exist, I stand by my previous statement that that's all full of shit.
ReplyDeleteZimmerman had a long history of violence and racial stuff prior to this. And if you honestly think that a 160 pound kid could take him down, well, you don't know a lot about physics.
A bit of a conundrum with the Florida 'Stand Your Ground' law:
ReplyDeleteWhose "ground" was it? Zimmerman's (who stalked Martin) or Martin's (who was wandering through the neighborhood). In those
circumstances, an unarmed man was shot and killed but no crime was committed. I smell NRA again.
I'm not a fan of Stand Your Ground. As a kid I was big on Bruce Tegner self-defense books, still have a couple and legally speaking self-defense hasn't changed. If you can extricate yourself from the situation that's #1, if not you have the legal right to use the minimal amount of force necessary to render your assailant nonharmful. In other words if you subdue a knife-wielding attacker and he no longer poses a threat and you stop there and call the cops on your cell all well and good but if you continue to pummel the guy, beat him to a pulp you're gonna pay the legal price buddy. So that's been our legal doctrine re self-defense for quite some time now. Stand Your Ground is something else entirely, it's new and it has a touch of Bronson/Eastwood to it, a kind of I'm No Pussy legal scheme.
ReplyDeleteOf course in states where SYG is law there are some rather stellar racial disparities where who's standing what ground and who's getting themselves shot.
ReplyDeleteRather interesting.
& over here in Brooklyn and Queens young black girls continue to get shot by stray bullets from gangbangers. Not the same type of coverage though. Somehow this stuff bothers me more than Paula Deen.
