Whitey should riot and kill people, maybe then whitey will get some respect and some justice, eh?

Is that the lesson the Left, the Democrats, the Media and the race-baiters are sending?

 I can see that in the near future and in Florida.

It's sick, they really want a race war and blood in the streets.  Nothing, I mean nothing justifies the vigilantism and wreckless rheotric the Left is pushing.  Nothing!

 They don't believe that whites will ever stand up to them.It's been ther way every time,they riot,burn and loot and kill and nothing happens. If you get a bunch of the good old boys pissed off down here it could be a real problem for them and a real race war.

I cannot say there is not precedence for submission JF, but I agree they are playing with fire, and we are talking about violence here, not submitting to city bureacrats over mowing your yard.  I honestly think these people don't care what happens.

Huh, lookie here, more info on the Zimmerman clan...

But a more nuanced portrait of Zimmerman has emerged from a Reuters investigation into Zimmerman's past and a series of incidents in the community in the months preceding the Martin shooting.

"Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin."

[Libertas]

Good witness for the defense I'd say.

[IronDioPriest]

This latest article by Reuters is the most complete and unbiased look at the story I've seen. One has to ask themselves what their motivation is for allowing the truth to be told now. Perhaps their role is now to allow truth to create the narrative that will justify Zimmerman's acquittal for those predisposed to see him as innocent, so that when he is released, the race war will have two equally agitated sides.

[Libertas]

A chilling thought IDP.

Then there is this, I have not seen this comparison tried, perhaps they are holding it in reserve, but this article does a good job documenting the differences.

Something to keep in mind anyway.

[charlesoakwood]

If the liberals think justice wasn't done in Georgia they need to pony up some
money so he can plea for a retrial.  That is what they want isn't it, justice for all?

[BMG]

Maybe they've suddenly grown a conscience, realized that Zimmerman is actually a democrat and decided that they can't just throw the guy to the wolves?

Naaa! Of course not...they would eat their own young if it made even the least point for their side.

Maybe they've seen the error of their ways, that they completely caused racial tensions possibly leading to a race war and people have ended up in the hospital as a direct result of their idiocy?

Naaa! Of course not...they lie regularly about equally weighty subjects without regard to who may or may not get hurt in the process.

Alas, I have to conclude that Priest is correct or at the least, that they are seeing some other politically viable reason to suddenly 'see the light' and start publishing the truth. After all, what harm could it do to them? The actual racial damage has already been done and now that that genie is out of the bottle there's no putting it back. 

[charlesoakwood]

that they are seeing some other politically viable reason to suddenly 'see the light'

Could it be the light of litigation? 

[BMG]

I'd say CO, that you may be on to something there. Of course, sucking up now won't blunt the litigation, but it may tug on the heartstrings of their sycophantic bootlicking followers, turning what is otherwise a huge PR disaster into a mild PR headache.

To me though, they're still just a bunch of megalomanical pricks.

There has been a second firing at NBC over the misleading edit of George Zimmerman’s 911 call. A report published yesterday afternoon by the Miami Herald identifies reporter/producer Jeff Burnside as the individual responsible for the edits which appeared in an NBC6 news story on March 19th and again on March 20th.

Burnside, 52, won several regional Emmy awards and was known for his investigative reports and coverage of environmental issues. Named “Top TV Reporter” by the New Times in 2007, he is on the board of directors of the Society of Environmental Journalists.

Q-U-I-E-T-L-Y fired...

[charlesoakwood]

He's now available to become one of Obama's environmental experts.
It's either a promotion or under the bus and he's not under it.

[Libertas]

Yeah, if roles reversed, the firings would be loud, public and replayed on the news 24/7/365 through election day.

   MFM bastards!

 

[Pandora]

Still don't know the name of the first guy, do we?

[BMG]

Not that I'm aware of Pan.

Why Couldn't Marissa Alexander Stand Her Ground In Florida

The Atlantic Wire
By: Alexander Abad-Santos

Looks like the media is stirring up crap again...

This is the story in its entirety:

What happened to Marissa Alexander sure sounds a lot like 'standing your ground': her abusive husband came after her, choked her, and when she finally broke free, she grabbed a gun fired a single warning shot into ceiling ... so why is she set to serve 20 years in jail?

Well, we imagine her prosecutor Angela Corey (who's also charging George Zimmerman) and her team, have the unfulfilling answers. The Florida Times Union's Charles Broward reported on April 21, "A judge denied [Alexander] immunity in a Stand Your Ground hearing. And after a jury found her guilty, she faces a mandatory term of 20 years in prison." Yes, there's the rage-inducing fact that Zimmerman who allegedly pursued and killed Trayvon Martin was allowed to walk free that night while Alexander is going to spend 20 years of her life in prison for a single warning shot. But it's also complex in that, those seeking justice for Trayvon Martin may have to side with a prosecutor who denied Alexander's (and the NAACP's) plea for a "stand your ground" ruling, like the one that was initially afforded to Zimmerman.

"There's a double standard with stand your ground," says Isaiah Rumlin, president of the Jacksonville Chapter of the NAACP. "The law is applied differently between African-Americans and whites who are involved in these types of cases." As Time's Touré points out, "there is one last sliver of hope left for Alexander: the court will soon hear arguments for a retrial." Jacksonville's News 4 added yesterday, "Judge James Daniel set a post-trial motions hearing for 8:30 a.m. Thursday. Daniel said if the motions are denied, she could be sentenced as soon as next week."

So what the 'author' of this 'piece' expects us all to believe is:

1) A woman is caught in an abusive relationship and in the midst of being assaulted she;
2) fires a shot from a gun, into the ceiling...
3) ...and for that she is facing a 20 year prison term.

As you have no doubt read, the author goes on to rail against the Trayvon shooting, etc citing their belief that the law in Florida is applied differently to members of different ethnic backgrounds.

Hogwash I say! There is obviously much missing from this story because you do not get 20 years in jail for firing a round into the ceiling. Period.

This is simply another attempt by the media to incite racial violence.
