But first, let's cut through the bullshit that is being spread across the airwaves and social media. Here is what happened that night, as best seen through all the evidence presented in the trial, and some that wasn't due to the prosecution not giving it to the defense, which could lead to sanctions or even disbarment.
George Zimmerman is a wannbe cop. But his neighborhood has had eight break ins over the last few months, most likely committed by young black youths. This is not a racial statement but one bore out in facts about arrests for said crimes in Florida, for which black youth make up an astonishing 89% of the offenders according to the Justice Department. Oddly, when adults are looked at, whites and Hispanics become the predominate thieves, accounting for 69% of the criminals and blacks 29%. But Trayvon, at 17, is still considered a juvenile in this statistic and, therefore falls into the most likely suspect pool. This is not racial profiling anymore than watching someone of Middle Eastern descent getting on a plane, acting odd, sweating and praying to Allah over and over. His race become less about that than suspicious behaviour that makes people notice race. That is not racism. That is called common sense.
So Zimmerman sees a black youth in a hoodie, walking through a gated community at night in the rain. He's not walking on the sidewalk but between houses. Now mind you, this was a common short cut to the local gas and sip from which Martin just came from but, could just as easily been suspicious behavior. Zimmerman follows and calls 911. The dispatcher tells him not to follow him and Zimmerman complies, heading back to his car. When he walks over to see what street he is on, in the opposite direction of the way Martin was walking, he is accosted by Martin.
Just previous to this Martin was on his cell phone talking with his girlfriend. He tells her he is being followed by a "creepy ass cracker," racially profiling Zimmerman and showing a clear disdain for white people, a view predominate in black communities nowadays. His girlfriend tells him to run, to which Martin says he is not going to do that. In this statement, we see Martin as an aggressor. He had a chance to get away and chose not to. Zimmerman was not following him anymore and there was no need for confrontation. Nowhere in any statement is Zimmerman the pursuer here. Martin is.
Martin accosts Zimmerman, asks if he has a problem and then punches Zimmerman in the nose. Zimmerman goes down, his nose broken from a sucker punch, Martin gets on top and starts beating his head against the pavement. Zimmerman grabs his gun and shoots Martin in the chest. Witnesses all say this is what happened, even those from the prosecutors, minus one who obviously saw nothing as her description of Martin was more akin to the media's portrayal of Martin as a twelve year old kid and not the tattooed, grill wearing thus wanna be he was.
Where is the racial profiling beyond that which we SHOULD be profiling people? If black youths make up 89% of the burglary offenders, shouldn't we pay particular attention to said group. And it's not like Martin was a choir boy by any means. His tweets, background and photos portray exactly the kind of person who would be breaking and entering. The fact that stolen jewelery and burglary tools were found in Martin's locker earlier that month, which led to a ten day suspension, should be bigger news. It is also telling that no charges were ever brought against Martin under pressure from the chief of police who wanted to avoid prosecution of young black males. Why? Because the black community is so obsessed with race that they are failing to see that young black youths are indeed committing crimes at a monumentally higher race than anyone else. Instead they cry racism, which it isn't in this case.
Is it not possible that Martin may have been responsible for some of the break ins in that neighborhood after all? Had Martin been prosecuted when he should have been for possession of stolen property, he might still be alive today, albeit with a record. And why is the media reporting none of this.
We've all seen the pictures of Trayvon Martin on T-shirts, the media and protest signs. What no one seems to realize is that they have been doctored. On the right is the original and on the left the one every has seen. Why did they lighten Martin's skin? To make him less threatening maybe?
The media is still framing the narrative. Nancy Grace, a worthless human being, repeated a debunked part of Zimmerman's 911 call in which he supposedly said "Fucking coons," when in actuality he said "fucking cold," which it was that night. I've heard the audio and he does NOT say coons, which anyone with ears can discern. NBC is being sued for doctoring audio tape that made Zimmerman seem to add race into the mix when in reality he is answering a question by the 911 operator as to what race the suspicious person is.
CBS news on Sunday's morning news shows had not one but two black men, one from the NAACP and the other from Georgetown University, both of which condemned Zimmerman as a racist for which they want the Justice Department to hold him liable, nevermind the fact that the FBI's own case study said no overt racism occurred. Had Zimmerman been wearing a "I love White People" shirt while firing wildly at a fleeing Martin, they may have a case. But as that reality only exists in the minds of black people, the media and perhaps even the government, that case isn't going anywhere. And by the way CBS, shouldn't you have had on someone to dispute the racism calls rather than two cheerleaders for stringing Zimmerman up.
Maybe the government wants this to prevent black people from realizing that they are being abused, not because of the color of their skin but because they are poor. It's the color green that is being abused and instead, we are been told to focus on the latest distraction to make us forget that the banks are screwing us blue, creating a permanent poverty class that no one can ever escape. That is the real issue here, not some black thug wanna be who died because of a chip on his shoulder and a hatred for whitey. Who is the more racist in all of this?
