…in which the prosecution proceeds with charges the evidence clearly and facially doesn’t substantiate, withholding information from a judge to do so, and then looks to punish not an individual for his alleged misdeeds, but rather a narrative about continued and persistent institutionalized racism it has itself, along with professional rabble rousers (are you one of them outside agitators?) masquerading as civil rights proponents actively helped nurture and promote, with American whites (or, now, what are forever to be known as “White Hispanics”; welcome to the uberclass, George!) cast as de facto racists whenever violence is perpetrated against a person of color and, regardless of the circumstances or the findings of law enforcement, forced to prove their own innocence of mind, it really is just a short step to further perversions and absurdities, such as the prosecution asking a jury that already knows the “wrong” verdict could bring about rioting, fomented by race hustlers and a media practically orgasmic to cover such a thing, to consider the charges of “child abuse.”
That is, they are now asking the jury to take into account the media’s widely disseminated photo of a young Trayvon Martin, adding to the postmodernist surrealism of this case.
So, a quick breakdown (from memory):
1) The case comes to national attention when it is misreported that a white shot a black boy in the back.
2) The race industry springs into action, condemning the action without having the facts. The media dutifully follow along. Zimmerman is incorrectly identified as a TEA Party supporter by a “neutral-media” just looking to fact find, leading to threats made against another man entirely. Obama perversely gives his imprimatur to treat Zimmerman as a pawn in a larger racial narrative.
3) When the facts begin to deviate from the early narrative, the media works to regain the footing of that original narrative, misrepresenting Zimmerman’s injuries, promoting a visual of Martin that is meant to paint him in the most sympathetic light, doctoring 911 call recordings and then disseminating them, rather than adjusting their story or admitting their intial error.
4) “White” is expanded to include “White Hispanics,” who despite having recent black relatives, are inauthentically part of an underclass / ethnic group traditionally championed by the racial grievance industry. Thus, we are given the “white” on “black” crime, and the privileged vs the victim class.
5) Attempts are made to discredit law enforcement and their initial investigation.
6) Political decisions are made that override law enforcement’s findings.
7) A separate investigation that should have led to exoneration and the refusal of the state to bring charges against Zimmerman was nevertheless weighted with political calculus. Zimmerman is charged with a crime there is no way the prosecution can ever prove beyond a reasonable doubt, withholding evidence from a judge to gain the opportunity to proceed.
8. The case, nationally televised, continues to show that there is no basis whatever for the charges. And yet Americans know implicitly that there are other factors the jury is being pressured take into consideration, including the not-so-vague threat of race rioting. So they sit glued to their TV sets, wondering if justice or political correctness and the threat of mob violence will prevail.
9. The prosecution, having invested so much political capital into the case, ends the trial by asking the jury to convict Zimmerman of something, even if its of abusing an image of Martin that deviates drastically from the actual Martin, who was able to take Zimmerman to the ground, straddle him, and slam his head into the pavement at least 3 times.
Josef K, eat your heart out.

State v. Zimmerman is the state of our country in miniature. The result will tell us whether the people will stand up for the rule of law or whether they’ve been sufficiently cowed to allow all manner of tyrannies to continue. Most people realize that, even if they don’t wish to admit it.
The judge, Debra Nelson, has just rediscovered a spark of humanity within her compass and denied the charge of murder in child abuse. But to foot the depraved mind of George Zimmerman in 2nd degree murder remains a charge with her agreement.
Now that Nelson has shot down the murder 3/child abuse option, I can’t help but wonder if she’s forgotten which side she’s on.
Facts, schmacts.
Ex-Police Chief Claims He Was Pressured and Then Fired for Not Arresting George Zimmerman: ‘They Just Wanted an Arrest’

Reports: Pennsylvania AG Will Refuse To Defend State’s Marriage Law Against ACLU’s Pro-Gay Marriage Suit
In protest of the arrest and prosecution of George Zimmerman for 2nd degree murder, I invite anyone who chooses to walk a measured 375 feet under a timer in order to see how long that takes. Too bad, indeed, that the jurors were not permitted to travel to the site of the alleged crime to walk that distance for themselves, no?
0) a dumbass hooligan lowlife criminal thug brought his fists to a gunfight.
After that, you have 1 and 2 in the wrong order, since it was orchestrated grievance mongering by the race industry that switched on the national media spotlight in the first place.
The judge, Debra Nelson, has just rediscovered a spark of humanity within her compass and denied the charge of murder in child abuse.
I think the prospect of removal from the bench focussed her mind most wonderfully. I will need persuading of this spark.
Imaginary sons and composite girlfriends run free in Utopia.
Just to be clear, I don’t believe you yourself need persuading with regard to the meaning of the spark SW, since you have it well in hand (in mind), but want some persuasion regarding J. Nelson’s possession of the same as I take it? In brief, I count any demonstration of reason, no matter how small or how limited in extent or in time as an indication of the distinguishing characteristic of human beings in full as such a spark, recognized and acted upon — this would be my invoked evidence in this case. Nelson saw the lie, so to speak, and called it so.
There was also very early in March 2012 an animated video, not the Taiwanese one, that was put out by the Crump & Parker gang that had Zimmerman chasing after and then shooting Trayvon, who had stopped and turned to ask “why are you following me?”, from a distance of 50 feet or so. I can no longer find it online. The video was used in a “news” story as if it was the true event.
Y’know? That felony murder by child abuse ploy has got to be the prosecutorial equivalent of the proverbial parricide asking the court for mercy because he’s an orphan.
De la Ronda is actually griping to the jury that Zimmerman didn’t try to resuscitate Martin.
Jiminy Cricket.
Owing no doubt, to the fact that in his expert opinion –and that of his crack legal staff– the statute is indefensible as it runs afoul of Justice Kennedy.
Thus does the rancid stench of the oracular Kennedy’s most recent brain fart makes its noxious way from sea to shining sea.
“Stay in your car” says De la Rionda in his summation. No lie too good to leave without telling.
I think the prosecutors like saying “fuck” in open court.
It’s useful to know that I’m practically a criminal to BDLR since I was once a part of a neighborhood watch.
We are all white Hispanics now.
Indeed, Carin. This whole show trial isn’t doing anything to advance racial harmony.
Nelson saw the lie, so to speak, and called it so.
She sure has had plenty of practice spotting stretchers.
When I was in college during the ’80s the school paper reported on a meeting of the student council in which a black member was objecting to all the white council members (with names like Nguyen and Rashid) ganging up on her.
It has long been a thing with what were then called “pan-Africanists” (the dark-skinned KKK) that anyone in America not black was white — even if their skin were brown, “red” or “yellow.”
I’m kinda confused, because I know Hispanics of all sorts of different hues. I need some sort of color chart in order to identify which belong to my tribe.
De la Ronda is almost as painful to listen to as Johnnie Cochran. When he starts speaking in rhyme, I’m out.
All I care about is the brown coat. Skin pigment don’t enter into it.
When the looting and burning starts, remind me to thank the Usual Suspects for bringing us no justice and no peace.
Is a whiny high pitched voice, such as dear Bernie State Prosecutor uses a dead give away to ordinary listeners? Well, maybe, but it is called pleading after all.
Somehow though, I’d lay money we never hear this tone from Mr. O’Mara. He’ll find another means of drama, leaving this pitiful effort to Bernie’s sole possession today.
O’Mara is masterful. I expect him to demolish the prosecution’s case . I wish I could be assured that the jury will not convict.
Bernie isn’t even spinning a compelling story, plus he has implied that Zimmerman is a pervert at least three times.
If I remember correctly, William Shirer in “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,” says the Nazi’s continuously, prior to seizing complete control of Germany, tried to fan the flames of a race war against the Jews, in order to give the Nazi’s a political excuse for taking complete control of Germany.
When those efforts failed, the Nazi’s staged the Reichstag fire.
It’s confusing to me. I’ve lived in Texas all my life and have several Hispanic friends, grew up with many of them, but damned if I can figure out which one, if any, are White Hispanics…………
By the way, that 375 ft. walk at a leisurely but steady pace took me 1.35 min.
I’ve known Latinos who are as pasty as I am. Their bloodlines are predominantly Spanish rather than Native or African.
Zimmerman has enough of a tan to disqualify him as “white” anything.
I was just thinking how long it would be before the Hart Senate office building burned down.
(More plausible than the whole Capitol. Senate Democrats have the run of the place, and no one would notice a staffer leaving late at night. Plus, Harry Reid is a foul, corrupt, disgusting, son of a bitch, and I wouldn’t put it past him to help the fucking degenerate fascist bastards at the other end of the Mall destroy the greatest country on earth so that he could rake in another pile of soon-to-be-worthless deutschmarks.)
One angry man, so to speak.

It was never intended to.
Fox News live coverage doesn’t hesitate to race bait all day, every day. Helpful is as helpful does.
I am counting on Emelio Estevez and Charlie Sheen to come out in support of Zimmerman and maybe Bob Dylan.
Funny, growing up in the central part of California, I had several dark skin Latino friends. I now live and work in the Silicon Valley area and all my Latino acquaintances and friends are lighter skinned than me.

I don’t know how to do this gently – you are a dark brown bear.
The Reichstag Fire stratagem worked for the Nazis because if anything like it had ever been done before it was before mass media could turn the event into a meme. Now not only is it a meme but it’s a meme about faking an event for political gain.
Not that the Obamarrhoids wouldn’t try — they went the Potemkin Village route with #Occupy, though it only worked for a short while. Then again, smaller test runs of the Reichstag Fire stratagem have been used in nearly all of the mass shooting incidents (“TEA PARTY LUNATIC!!!!”) since the Unicorn Prince was anointed…
Barking “Skittlecrime!” will do the trick.
It does seem odd how “George Zimmerman” rhymes with “Emmanuel Goldstein.”
I prefer “cinnamon” to describe my fur color ;)
McGehee, as long as the fire can be blamed on the TEA party, the media will gladly carry that water for the White House.
bgbear, using my handy NYT/Harvard Law School chart, you are an authentic bear of colour.

Power point? Bernie talks of PP as if it were the cutting edge. Talk about losing your audience.
bear facts: black bears skin is light colored under their dark fur while polar bears have black skin under their white fur.
They’ll try. Breitbart and the like will shoot so many holes in the buckets that they’ll be trying to douse the fire with lead instead.
Trayvon really should have been buying his little brother a healthier snack.

In the view of Bernie State Prosecutor time is eternally in suspense for purposes of deceiving a jury. They should be so lucky.
Related to issues of race, etc, a friend posted this and I thought it was
an interestinga horrifying read.http://stlouis.craigslist.org/rnr/3902373798.html
One quibble:
It isn’t “blacks” – it is black american society. Within the black culture – education doesn’t work. Obviously. Or fails at a spectacularly high rate.
One really interesting observation – obvious once mentioned –
It is an interesting, and depressing, read.
“Overloaded gun” is another good one too good to leave unuttered.
“Ya see?! Huh? Huh? He’s talkin’ that police talk! He’s a wannabe cop!!”
Give it a rest, Bernie.

It’s just incredible. I don’t recognize this country anymore.
Man, Carin, that is one depressing essay. Mainly because it’s all too true.
Per newrouter’s link: if SCOTUS has ruled that Catholics can be forced to pay for murder, does that mean that hiring hit men is now legal? Or is the “privilege” of murder-for-hire not applicable toward those who really have it coming?
Leigh, it’s true, but it isn’t inevitable. If black race pimps wouldn’t find cause to celebrate whatever they find “authentically black”, and they could properly integrate into society.
ACTUAL integration is a wonderful thing. It doesn’t mean quotas, or what we’ve done since the 60’s. It means to adopt what is good about OTHER cultures and abandon what sucks about yours. It is what has happened every time one culture banged into another.
There are only two ways it ends when you have a clash of cultures such as this. History. Read it and weep.
Squid, no, but not hiring a hit man may be a taxable event.
Yes, depressing essay. I would just add it is true of too many urban schools and the black American culture that exists there.
It is mostly culture, not genes.
Maybe Blacks are a little less intelligent on average but, so what? Asians are probably a little more intelligent than whites but, who has had more advancements in science and engineering? Asians often build on European and American discoveries (when they do innovate, they are often Asians living in the West). There is more to it than IQ points.
Will Mark O’Mara tell an untruth in summation tomorrow, a lie?
If we grant that O’Mara too may lie (by omission), I can think so. For O’Mara will not say, I warrant, that Trayvon Martin was seeking to beat the creepy assed cracka’s head in as a function of Trayvon’s own inculcated racial animus, taught to him by his parents, his compeers, his schools, his every milieu of life and living. Whitey, the nigga, is out to get him and his, thinks Trayvon, to take from Trayvon his very humanity — and for this, the creepy assed cracka deserves to have his beatdown. Justice should be served.
It sure ain’t Trayvon’s fault.
O’Mara just needs to remind the jury that if Trayvon had indeed just been on his way home and had done just that, none of this would have happened and they could be enjoying their summer.
People would be amazed the trouble I managed not to get into, just by minding my own business and going where I meant to go.
I should write a book, except people who need to learn such secrets tend not to be readers.
Judicial Watch Releases Audio of DOJ Helping Trayvon Protesters

McGehee, I find it rather instructive that, rather than argue the Obama administration will not attempt their own “Reichstag Fire,” you argue the Obama administration will not get away with it.
I never said I didn’t think they’d try. My original comment on the subject included the words “Not that [they] wouldn’t try.”
Why is it instructive that I’m arguing what I said from the start?
“I should write a book, except people who need to learn such secrets tend not to be readers.”
Certainly not if it’s written in cursive.
McGehee, crap, I didn’t mean to say or imply that you never thought the Obama administration wouldn’t try their own version of a Rechstag Fire. Rather, what I meant (I’m starting to think all I’m doing is digging) or was trying to say is that most people would argue against the premise.
Granted, I know you’re not most people. (so, going to help me out of the hole or point and laugh?)
So, how about that Hernandez character.?The Patriots can sure pick them, huh?
I still maintain that if Trayvon had not been on the phone with Rachel he might not have gone out to confront and attack Zimmerman. At the very least the confrontation would not have been a sucker punch to the nose but stayed verbal.
His 17 year old self couldn’t deal with having someone, a woman he knew, know he ran home to get away from a “creepy ass cracker.” He “had” to confront and beat down Zimmerman to not damage his street cred with others and his own self image.
I would dearly love to hear the details of all that twaddle.
If the head is split, you must acquit!
” He “had” to confront and beat down Zimmerman to not damage his street cred with others and his own self image. ”

I would say that was far more a factor in the bad turn events took than some residue of THC in his bloodstream.
Thomas Sowell:
Sad, but all too true.
Zimmerman hasn’t got a chance, because infantile race grievances must be sated. When even Fox News “experts” think it’s a slam dunk for conviction, we are sunk as a nation of free people.
What I find incredible is that such a well known wizahd of smaht political acumen would find it incredible
Unless incredible has come to mean predictable in the same way that free exercise has come to mean free to believe there’s a right way to go about religious worship*.

Honor his spirit? Huh. That would involve smoking dope, sending twit-pics of handguns, and petty theft.
An overarching theme of Trayvon Martin ‘supporters’ is that he was a child. This child was stalked and killed by evil child-stalking gunman George Zimmerman.
Who is responsible for a child‘s welfare? Who is supposed to keep a child from absorbing and joining a street culture that promotes thug life? If Trayvon was a child (and he was still, legally, a minor) the responsible parties who failed him first were his parents. Those same self-aggrandizing sops who ignored his welfare for their own, and now seek to cover their own failings by shifting blame to George Zimmerman.
Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, failed parents, share as much responsibility for Travyvon Martin’s behavior (the drug use, the fighting that got him kicked out of school, the thug behavior pattern that got him killed) as George Zimmerman. They failed to properly raise and nurture their child.
To lay blame on them, serr8d, for who he was at the time of his death would mean you expect them to be good, attentive parents.
Which is obviously beyond the pale.
Jesus serr8d, the parents here are victims. You can’t go about treating them like white hispanics.
Standards are bourgeois, and that’s so pre-post-modern.
O’Mara is quoting John Adams in his closing argument. A far cry from yesterday’s histrionics.
<flips coin>
<doesn’t like result, flips coin again>
They were just keeping it real. You have no business criticizing their culture when you can’t even understand it! Raaaaacist!
“If it hasn’t been proven, it’s not just there,” O’Mara said. “You can’t fill in the gaps. You can’t connect the dots. You’re not allowed to.”
They were just keeping it real. You have no business criticizing their culture when you can’t even understand it!
Right. AA parents are different culturally, and judging them by white standards is rasssist. Reminds me when I read this in that essay I linked:
Years ago, I was reading some pro-teacher, John Dewey education pap that teachers had to teach black children differently, because being LOUDER was their way. Part of their culture. They yell, jump up and down, etc, so teachers had to find a way to accommodate their “ways” into a new teaching method.
Yea. Got it. They cannot be expected to LISTEN or talk/discuss things in a white way. It’s a black thing.
I denounce myself.
That’s such nonsense, Carin. Not you, the idea that blacks are loud and incapable of being disciplined. I found the white trash kids I lived around in Pittsburgh to be just as bad. We lived in a mixed race neighborhood and there were several white kids who were just as obnoxious as the black kids. Swearing, yelling all the time, no manners at all and, they stole. I forbade them to come in the house. I’ve found this to be more of a class thing than a race thing. The problem is the almost total immersion that most lesser educated and less affluent people have with persons who behave like thugs, do not value education and are impressed with unearned wealth. I’m sure you ran into this attitude a lot in Detroit.
Conversely, my middle son’s best friend was a black child whose parents*, while of modest means, were big on discipline and manners. His favorite teacher to this day was a black woman who took no nonsense from any of the kids and was every child’s favorite teacher, presumably because they knew that she would take no shit from them or excuses from their families. Unfortunately, even though my son and some others were part of a terrific enrichment program that the Pittsburgh public schools offers, the environment at the school itself became too unsafe for me to feel comfortable with him attending the school after the third grade. We withdrew him and enrolled him in our parish school. He still saw his friend at baseball practice and games, cub scouts and the like until his family moved away.
We have loads of trashy white kids here in OK who could be interchangeable with the black kids in that essay.
We’re doomed.
*Note: mom and dad were together and married!
That is the problem, and the fallacy of identifying something as a “cultural” trait. Saying it’s a “black” thing, and we just need to understand their culture and work around it.
What would be the response if this behavior were merely identified as being rude? Being rude is a black thing?
I don’t think there is anything inherently cultural about the behavior – it’s just FLAT out bad behavior, that’s reinforced by society that identifies it as authentic.
It’s nothing more than a rejection of Western decorum, to the nth degree.
Exactly.
It’s enough to make you wonder whether paying ignorant uninvolved uneducated high school dropouts to produce more ignorant uninvolved uneducated high school dropouts who will produce even yet still more ignorant uninvolved uneducated high school dropouts was really such a good public policy. Regardless of relative surface pigmentation levels.
(By the way: when I argue about appeals to personal liberty and dignity having resonance with most Americans, this segment is one I’m willing to write off.)
The problem with writing “them” off is that they are capturing more and more people within their snare. Thug life, you know how we do, yo.
I think the problem may be on display when the Zimmerman verdict is read. You ignore that at your own peril.
Okay then, how would you reach out and convince the O!Phone brigade that having six kids by five daddies and “raising” them to skip school and blow their
hardworking, responsible, patrioticcrooked, privileged, undeserving neighbors’ money on sneakers and smart phones is no way to live?Short of removing the perverse incentive structure? I don’t think you can.
The same drives that make it possible to domesticate animals also exist in Man. As long as there are those who wish to turn people into livestock, people will become livestock.
I suppose if some people want to be subjects and be ruled that is their choice, I just wish they would not drag the rest of us in with them. Can’t we just give them their own state or something?
As long as there are those who wish to turn people into livestock, people will become livestock.
I wouldn’t have a problem with that, if it were only a matter of those involved. The problem is that the “ranchers” are picking my pocket to buy cattle feed, and they continually let their herd wander loose through my neighborhood to fuck up my property and my peace of mind.
The CRS and Thomas Battles are no doubt up to their necks organizing the organizers of this new POS.
Rush mentioned this Daniel J. Flynn piece over at the Spectator’s blog today. I agree with the overall sentiment, “[c]ivilizing men out of existence has come at great cost to civilization[,]” if not his rather uncharitable description of Zimmerman’s girly-manness.
I imagine if Mr. Flynn ever found himself on the pavement with a young barbarian on top of his chest pounding away, he might just make some rather unmanly sounds of his own.
Kudos to Geraldo or the Stopped Clock Award, anyway.
Geraldo says those six women on the jury would have dropped Trayvon sooner than Zimmerman did and called it self-defense.
Squid, that’s what happens when people become livestock. There’s no avoiding it.
The only solution is to deal with the ranchers as vermin, lest they treat us all as livestock.
