Feds Now Investigating Trayvon Martin Murder |
|
|
Posted by JayZeeBMT on Tue Mar 20 08:49:59 2012 Following widespread public outrage over the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in a Florida gated community by a self-styled "neighborhood watch captain", the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the shooting.There are so many things wrong with the way this case is being handled by local authorities, federal intervention, IMO, was almost inevitable. Here are just a few observations: 1. Florida's notorious "stand your ground" law, which many are interpreting as meaning Martin's alleged killer, George Zimmerman, is "immune" from prosecution, does not confer this "immunity" on a person who merely CLAIMS self-defense, as Zimmerman did. The person claiming self-defense must also PROVE this to be true. 2. How on God's green Earth can Zimmerman, who continued to follow Martin after being specifically told NOT to do so by a 911 dispatcher, claim "self-defense" at all? Zimmerman pursued this boy, alighted from his vehicle armed with a handgun, confronted Martin--who was exactly where he had every right to be--and shot Martin to death. If I saw a strange man jump out of a car and begin questioning me, I'd consider my own life to be in imminent peril. 3. Zimmerman and the Sanford police chief would have us believe the 250-pound Zimmerman "got the sh*t beat out of him" by the 140-pound Martin, who, by all accounts, was "not a fighter". Yeah, right, and I'm gonna marry Mehcad Brooks tomorrow... 4. No criminal background check, drug or alcohol testing was dine on Zimmerman at the scene of the crime, even though this is SOP for a shooting death. Police took Zimmerman at his word, even "correcting" eyewitnesses whose 911 calls contradict Zimmerman's version of events. Yet Martin's background was immediately investigated to try to find some justifiable reason for this modern-day lynching. Before discovering that Martin was, in fact, legitimately entitled to be in the gated community, they were ready to conclude he was up to no good--for walking while black, wearing a hoodie--IN THE RAIN. Yup, I'm saying without reservation, that if the roles had been reversed, that is, if Zimmerman had been black and shot a white "suspect", he'd be in a windowless cell at the bottom of the jail, duly receiving his twice-daily beating. THIW. The feds need to get to the bottom of this mess quickly, and prosecute Zimmerman for murder. |

Theres over 400 thousand folks who signed a online petition to get this looked at. Heck the color of the people In this sad incident out of the window for a second how can a Big guy like that even use a excuse like that "Self Defense?"Thats what happens when p***ies get guns i guess... |

I'm shocked and appalled that Zimmerman ois still walking the streets as a free man.(Waits for the inevitable spin from the right-hand side of the board on this...) |

Zimmerman's family says he is not white, but Hispanic, so the contention is it's not racial.This isn't the first time something like this has come up in Florida. Some years back, in a short time frame, a white officer shot a Hispanic man, and a Hispanic officer shot a black man. But in the first care the Hispanic man was described as "Hispanic," but in the second case the Hispanic officer was described as "white." Would it be possible to decide this case on the law and the facts, rather than race? I doubt it. |

I think Zimmerman is part white, part Hispanic. In any case, the Sanford PD's handling of this case is so shot through with inconsistencies and negligence, that a federal inquiry is necessary. |

It's only racial in that the darker your skin is, the more likely you are to be accidentally shot. The situation would warrant more investigation even if the shooter has been black.If you are told by a police representative not to pursue a suspicious character, and you do so anyway, and shoot him in "self defense", a thorough investigation is merited no matter what your skin color is or that of the person being shot. |

I think Zimmerman is part white, part Hispanic.Well that's different, then. We'll have to determine whether Martin was killed by Zimmerman's white part or his Hispanic part. We'll also have to learn whether his name is a Jewish Zimmerman or German Zimmerman. |

There are racial tensions in Florida.Just west of Orlando, in the Tampa area, every single cop killed in the line of duty has been killed by a black male. 100% of the time. People are afraid of minorities, young blacks in particular for a reason. Most recent was days before Christmas when Orlando youth shot cop in the face in Lakeland. Minority gangs in general are transforming the Sunshine State from a retirement community into the hood/barrio. Sorry, but it's true. |

Nobody is forced to buy time anywhere. i'm sure there are hundreds or even thousands of national chains that do NOT advertise on Sharpton's show. If there weren't, his shows would be 100% ads.If Sharpton's show has 1/30th the listenership of another show, the cost of advertising is probably about 1/30th as much per minute. The people who are buying the ads no doubt believe they are getting value for their money. |

Al Sharpton hasHome Depot McDonald's Walgreens I can't remember the others but I'll listen tonight and make note. If an advertiser buys time on Al Sharpton they are endorsing his political views and history of racism. When Rush called that girl a "slut" there were several statements and articles about the topic of national advertisers avoiding talk radio because they don't want to be seen as endorsing a political viewpoint. These companies should show some consistency. In the case Sharpton, his show is not even live in NYC. It's taped and aired at 8p which isn't even coveted drive-time. These companies are making a political statement buying time on his show. |

No more true than that advertisers on Rush Limbaugh are endorsing his view of the world.Then why boycott an advertiser for buying on Beck or Rush? If your argument worked, the diversity police who have been successful in getting advertisers to pull would not succeed. This is why advertisers like McDonald's, Home Depot, CVS all avoid shows like Beck and Hannity but don't fear being on Sharpton. In fact, they would seek out a Sharpton to make it appear that they are endorsing diversity and civil rights by being on his show. THIW. |

I should have said "feel compelled" instead of "forced".Either way, they are making a political statement buying time on that show. That's all it is. Political correctness.

Copmanies who deliberately avoid a show might be making a political statement. They might also just be trying to avoid offending anyone.Maybe McDonald's feels they will get flack if they advertise on Rush but won't get flack if they advertise on Sharpton. They certainly don't have a reputation of being a left wing company, that's for sure. Anothr possibility is that McDonald's feels that its customer base is better represented among Sharpton listeners than Limbaugh listeners. Very few companies make public political statements. It's just not good for the bottom line. You lose the people who disagree but don't gain much more revenue from those who agree. |

I think Zimmerman is part white, part Hispanic.I hope you realize that that is silly, since the overwhelming majority of Hispanics are "part White". Hispanic is not a race or an ethnic group, but a silly Census classification. |

Maybe McDonald's feels they will get flack if they advertise on Rush but won't get flack if they advertise on Sharpton. They certainly don't have a reputation of being a left wing company, that's for surThat's the point. There is no fear of being on Sharpton but they know that Sharpton or other militants will harass them if they're on a show like Rush, Hannity, or Hewitt. That's why we need activism for white people. Activist not affiliated with the white power movement. Anothr possibility is that McDonald's feels that its customer base is better represented among Sharpton listeners than Limbaugh listeners. I won't deny that Sharpton's audience is the McDonald's audience. But the segment of whites who listen to Rush are certainly the Rush element. You don't know how many times I've been at a local McDonald's in Florida and seen anti-Obama stickers on a truck or noticed Fox News on the television. In Tampa when McCafe was introduced, McDonald's did buy time locally on WFLA during Beck, Rush, and Schnitt. A watchdog group heard the ads and got them pulled and Schnitt, being a local talker told the story on air. |

I think looking at the nationality, religion or race of the shooter to score some imagined political gain is idiotic. The young man is dead. He's no more or less dead because the shooter is Hispanic or white than he would be if the shooter were Asian or black or even Asian black. This is more left wing bullshit to keep people at odds with each other - democratic divide and conquer strategy at its best. |

Indeed.Had my parents moved to Argentina instead of the US and had I then later emigrated to the US myself, I'd be an Hispanic instead of an ethnic Italian as if my bloodline had somehow been magically altered by my Argentinian nationality and upbringing. |

I think the majority of Hispanics (not from Latin America) are as "white" as Italians or Spaniards or, for that matter, Jews.Hispanic as distinguished from "white" or "black" is a term used politically to identify people as a minority community. It is an irony that ethnic Germans and Poles and Jews are all blandly called white in this country, when they sure weren't (and probably aren't) in the Mother Country* *Term of sarcasm, if anyone has any doubt. |

I support gay rights yet you always attack me.You don't support gay marriage (but civil unions) right? In the eyes of too many, that's considered not believing in gay rights. |

I think the majority of Hispanics (not from Latin America)How can Hispanics not be of Latin American national ancestry? That's the very definition of "Hispanic" regardless of race or real ethnicty. It's why Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are Hispanic while Virgin Islanders and Haitians are not. |
