Here's one man's opinion of the situation that I couldn't agree more with.

 
That guy ROCKS!!
 
Bump. Because it was nice to see someone say what I was thinking. And he was black, too.
 
That last comment about Jan Brewer could be the grand cougar of the black panther party made me laugh.
 
I love that guy. I'd like to see the looks on lefty faces when they watch his videos.
 
Awesome dude. Couldn't agree with him more.
 
He makes some very excellent points, but I could do without the arrogance and mockery. And he could have picked someone less ridiculous to counter, I don't think anyone agrees with that clown of the BPP.

Wow. That video is chock full of mischaracterizations.

1 - Travyon Martin's death is a problem because the police did not act appropriately with their investigation. White people are killed by white people too, but you only hear about it on the national media when it's something they can sell to the American public. You only hear whites complain when it's brought to national attention. This is no different. So bringing that up is in many ways an attempt to minimize the impact the event is currently having. For example, Emmett Till ( Emmett Till - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) was not some special case. Blacks were killing blacks back then too. In fact, whites were assaulting, discriminating, terrorizing, robbing and hanging blacks (and much more) often enough that it was not special to find a black man dead. Yet, this case was different because the law supporting the behavior and the incident was brought before the nation. Very similarily to our current Mr Martin situation.

2 - No black person when any amount of intelligence aligns themselves with this new retarded black panther group. Just like any white person with any intelligence wouldn't align themselves with the KKK or any other bigoted group. So focusing on what this idiot says is ridiculous. He does not, in any way, represent black Americans. In fact, black Americans have no "leader". We don't need one. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or this idiot black panther guy... none. They do not represent black Americans except in the mind of the media and those that can't accept the idea that black Americans are not some homogenized people with some bizarre group-think mentality.

3 - Lastly, there would be no further investigation if the media had not picked this story up. The case was all but closed. So I applaud them for exposing the crappy investigation of those officers and forcing the issue. Hopefully, we'll see a fair trial for Zimmerman with all the facts.

Why are you so sure the local cops mishandled this? Maybe because of the one sided reporting from our wonderful lib media? I chose to make no comment until the facts came out and as they do Zimmerman looks less and less guilty and the cops look more and more competent. The media made it sound like the cops asked Zimmerman why he did it and then said, cool dude, have a nice day. In reality he was taken downtown and questioned for 5 hours.


"According to a report from ABC News’s Matt Gutman, the lead homicide investigator in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin recommended that George Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter on the night of February 26. Multiple ABC News sources claim that investigator Chris Serino was “instructed to not press charges against Zimmerman because the state attorney’s office headed by Norman Wolfinger determined there wasn’t enough evidence to lead to a conviction.”

Gutman adds that “police brought Zimmerman into the station for questioning for a few hours on the night of the shooting, said Zimmerman’s attorney, despite his request for medical attention first. Ultimately they had to accept Zimmerman’s claim of self defense. He was never charged with a crime.”

I'm sure the local cops mishandled it because the case was pretty much closed until the media got involved. Now that the light is shined on them, there's enough questions for the State to get involved. If all was fine, the state wouldn't need to get involved... right?

Thanks for avoiding the question and retorting with insults. It tells me who I'm talking to.

And your post is full of mischaracterizations as well.

Zimmerman was hispanic, not white.

Only now the prosecutor says he did no such thing.

Simon W. Moon, iirc, posted the article.
