and people, please don't misundstand me here. I agree that black men face great difficulties in the US with law-enforcement and that has to change sooner rather than later. I saw Murder on a Sunday morning and it showed how bad it is for a black man in the US. If people have not seen it, I would advise you to go and see it.
In the documentary a white elderly couple from Georgia on their vacation where robbed by a black man at the Ramada Inn in Jacksonville. The man was described as a young black man wearing cut off jeans and sneakers in two or three colors of blue, that the man was about 25, that he had been 6 feet tall with very skinny legs.
A good time later the police who were canvassing the neighborhood saw Brenton Butler, a 15 year old, stocky kid who was about 5 feet 10 inches. They got him to sit in the back of the police cruiser and drove to the Ramada inn where the victim saw the young black man in the back of the cruiser and identified him as the killer of his wife.
A whole trial began because the kid had confessed to the murder (but the confession most likely was beat out of him by a black officer who happened to be son of the police chief and the white arresting officers also threatened the kid). The prosecution made it look like a slam dunk, when it was perfectly clear for everyone that this kid was clearly not guilty. He thank goodness was acquitted by the jury in record time but still had spent a long time in jail waiting for his trial.
The police in this case just picked up the nearest black person, rail-roaded him by forcing/beating a confession out of him and then doing nothing to verify that confession. I can only advise people to rent this video/dvd and see how the justice system worked for this young black kid. If it had not been for his excellent attorney, Brenton Butler would be sitting in jail right now.
So I understand that it is bad for black men in the US, but these black panthers do not help matters. Standing up for black rights is fine, but they go over the top, they are almost as racially biased as those police officers in the Brenton Case were. White people this, white people that. How is that going to help?
My opinion about this is simple, you do not discriminate against white people to stop the discrimination of black people. It will not work.
I hope no black person finds mr. Zimmerman because who knows what will happen if Zimmerman "defends" himself against people who have been set upon him by the black panthers. I wish no one get hurt here, mr. Zimmerman needs to be prosecuted if he has broken the law and a fair and professional investigation has to be held into what he did, but to say you deal with him or we the black panthers will is not going to help this case.
