#TrayvonMartin Would Still Be Alive — If He Hadn't Been Such a 'Nigga' Thug in the First Place
Here's a thot - he was serving a 10 day school suspension, if Trayvon were grounded, instead of roaming at night unsupervised, he'd B alive

This is a direct result of the left's anti-Zimmerman racial demonization campaign, and President Hussein's inflammation of racial tensions, "President Obama's Statement on George #Zimmerman Not Guilty Verdict."
#HoodiesUp #NoJustice — 'Every F-king Cop Is a F-king Target...'
And here's the comment from the revolutionary International Socialist Organization, "A racist killer is acquitted":
FOR MILLIONS of people in the U.S., the shock of learning about Trayvon's murder in February 2012 will still be fresh in their memory.I've highlighted the thinly veiled promise of revolutionary street justice against Zimmerman.
Martin was doing nothing more than walking through an unfamiliar neighborhood after a trip to the convenience store. But, like young African American men around the country, he was guilty of walking while Black. And so there was nothing to protect him from being identified as a threat--preemptively branded a criminal, to be stopped, questioned, searched, arrested...or worse.
It took weeks for the story of Martin's killing to emerge--after those who learned the facts of the case spread the word on the Internet, and people in Florida and around the country began holding protests. A series of galvanizing demonstrations took place in Florida, along with expressions of solidarity far and wide. The words "I am Trayvon Martin" were repeated in city after city.
As SocialistWorker.org wrote at the time, the killing:
proves that racism is alive and well in 2012, while the first African American president sits in the White House. The widespread shock and anger over what happened to Trayvon--and the beginnings of protest around the case--tell us something else, too: That large numbers of people are outraged by racist injustice in this and other forms.The basic fact that Martin had been racially profiled and stalked before his death couldn't have been clearer. For example, on tapes of 911 calls eventually released by police under pressure, Zimmerman declared, "This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something." Zimmerman explicitly defied the operator's instruction not to follow Martin.
To obscure those simple facts, Trayvon Martin was put on trial--in the media after his death, and then by defense lawyers during Zimmerman's trial.
For example, the defense team claimed that Zimmerman--who at the time of the murder outweighed Martin by more than 100 pounds--was attacked without provocation and feared for his life, rather the other way around. Judge Debra Nelson allowed defense lawyers to present results from a toxicology report showing that Martin had small amounts of marijuana in his system on the night he died. The lawyers and their champions in the right-wing media also attempted to claim that Martin had a history of violence--based on a video on Martin's cell phone showing two men fighting, neither of whom was Trayvon nor anyone he knew or was connected to.
The bigotry didn't stop with the verdict, either. At a press conference after the not-guilty decision, Zimmerman's co-attorney Mark O'Mara declared that his client was the real victim--and never would have been charged if he was African American "because those people who decided that they were going to make him the scapegoat would not have."
By contrast, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda seemed perfectly content with the verdict, stating that the jury system is "not perfect, but it's the best of the world. And we respect the jury's verdict." Critics of the prosecutors say they made a series of mistakes and missteps throughout the trial....
Protests were already underway in cities around the country as this article was being written. There will be more in the days to come, and anyone horrified by Trayvon's murder a year ago and by the acquittal of his killer on Saturday night should participate and raise their voices.
That's in the days to come -- Trayvon Martin's killer should be held to account. And in the weeks and months that follow, we need to channel anger at this latest example of justice denied into an increased determination to confront the system that let it happen. We need to build the broader challenge to a world where a young Black man's life is in danger because he was walking where someone thought he shouldn't be--and where the political and judicial establishment protect the racists, rather than the victims of racist murder.
This communist boilerplate is virtually identical to what comes out of the bilge ducts at MSNBC nightly. It's the far-left revolutionary dregs against the rest of us folks trying to go about our lives in peace and human decency.
Progressives will kill you. Assholes like Trayvon Martin will ground and pound you into the sidewalk and President Hussein and the Democrat-Socialists in Congress continue their devil's work to deprive you of your basic constitutional right to self-defense.
The shock on the faces of the MSNBC dirtbags last night revealed a deep-seated anger. Their hatred is becoming ever more unhinged. It's pretty mind-boggling.
Get ready to stand a post against the f-kers.
@MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry: 'It's Okay to Kill an Unarmed African American Child Who Has Committed No Crime...'
I watched this segment last night after the verdict was announced. I was actually on CNN but Twitter was lighting up with reports about Al Sharpton bawling about racism, blah, blah, and I switched over in time for Angela Corey's own disgusting press conference. After that, anchor Chris Jansing opened up the panel and you saw this most melodramatic leftist racism imaginable. These people are scum:
Push for #Zimmerman Federal Civil Rights Charges Risks Double Jeopardy
An American criminal defendant is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and that's the standard to keep in mind when considering the jury's not guilty verdict Saturday for George Zimmerman in the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.More at the link.
The case has been fraught with racial politics from the start, but inside the Sanford, Florida courtroom, the jurors had to wrestle with the standard that is a hallmark of American justice. No one but Mr. Zimmerman knows what happened that early evening in 2012 when he followed Martin, an unfamiliar young, African-American male visiting the neighborhood. A scuffle ensued, Zimmerman shot Martin in what he says was self-defense, and prosecutors never produced an eyewitness or even much evidence to disprove Mr. Zimmerman.
The verdict compounds the tragedy for the Martin family, but no one can claim that their son was not represented in court. The state threw everything it had at Mr. Zimmerman. Gov. Rick Scott replaced local prosecutors with a special team from Jacksonville, the judge often ruled favorably for the prosecution, including the addition of the lesser manslaughter charge (in addition to second-degree murder) at the end of the trial.
Still the state could not prove its case to the satisfaction of the six jurors, all women, for whom the easiest decision in terms of public approval would have been to convict. No less than President Obama had commented on the local case after Mr. Zimmerman was not originally charged by local authorities.
"If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Mr. Obama said. He was echoed by hundreds of politicians and commentators who wanted to put racial profiling on trial as much as they did Mr. Zimmerman. But a criminal trial is not a legislature, or a venue to debate social policy.
Benjamin Jealous of the NAACP is already lobbying Attorney General Eric Holder to indict Mr. Zimmerman on federal civil-rights charges. To do so and win a conviction would require proof that Mr. Zimmerman was motivated by racial animus when the record shows little more than a reference by Mr. Zimmerman to "punks" in a comment to a police dispatcher.
Millions of Americans would see such federal charges as an example of double jeopardy, and a politicized prosecution to boot.
And check on the action at Memeorandum, where the idiot regressives are all over the talk of federal prosecution of Zimmerman.

New Black Panther Party Called for George #Zimmerman Death in Prison
Keepin' it classy, leftists.
At the Daily Caller, "New Black Panther hopes Zimmerman is killed in prison [VIDEO]":
SANFORD, Fla. – At least one member of the New Black Panther party hopes George Zimmerman is found guilty and murdered in prison.Also at Breitbart, "New Black Panther Vows: 'Black Man Will Exact Justice on Zimmerman'."
“Anything less than death for George Zimmerman is not justice,” Kojo Kayrallah told The Daily Caller Friday afternoon. Kayrallah, who identified himself as the Chief of Staff for the state of Florida said he and his group were here in Sanford seeking “justice for Trayvon.”
When asked if death in prison was satisfactory, Kayrallah said “praise be to God.”
The New Black Panther Party protested in front of Seminole County Courthouse along with several other groups on Friday as the six-person jury began deliberating Zimmerman’s fate. He can be convicted of either second-degree murder or manslaughter for the shooting death of Martin.
Brother James Muhammad also spoke to The Daily Caller saying “we’re not advocating any acts of violence against anyone in prison or out of prison.” But he added that there’s “always that possibility” that a “child killer” would face that fate of death behind bars.
Boy, they've got those Gandi lessons down cold.

But as baseball's best prepare to gather for Tuesday's All-Star Game, New York's teams have fewer true stars to call their own than in any of the eight previous All-Star games played here since the game's inception in the 1930s.
President Obama's Statement on George #Zimmerman Not Guilty Verdict
The country's biggest loser just couldn't resist fanning the flames of additional racial strife.
At the White House homies' page, "Statement by the President":
The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.Yeah, yeah. We shall overcome, mf.

More Riots Planned After #Zimmerman Acquittal
San Diego protests are planned as well, to say nothing of more rioting in Los Angeles.
Riot Police Break-Up Violent Los Angeles Protests Following #Zimmerman Verdict
And more violence is planned for this afternoon, "Trayvon Martin protest planned Sunday in South L.A."
ADDED: More from AP, "CALIF. PROTESTS PLANNED AFTER ZIMMERMAN ACQUITTAL" (via Memeorandum).
Obama is Biggest MF Loser in #Zimmerman Acquittal
Forget the over-zealous prosecutors and the repellent state attorney Angela Corey (who should be immediately disbarred or, my wife said sarcastically, elevated to director of Homeland Security) and even the unfortunate Trayvon Martin family (although it is certainly hard to forget them — they have our profound sympathies), the true loser at the Zimmerman trial was Barack Obama.Continue reading.
By injecting himself in a minor Florida criminal case by implying Martin could be his son, the president of the United States — a onetime law lecturer, of all things — disgraced himself and his office, made a mockery of our legal system and exacerbated racial tensions in our country, making them worse than they have been in years. This is the work of a reactionary, someone who consciously/unconsciously wants to push our nation back to the 1950s.
It is also the work of a narcissist who thinks of himself first, of his image, not of black, white or any other kind of people. It’s no accident that race relations in our country have gone backwards during his stewardship.
Congratulations to the jury for not acceding to this tremendous pressure and delivering the only conceivable honest verdict. This case should never have been brought to trial. It was, quite literally, the first American Stalinist “show trial.” There was, virtually, no evidence to convict George Zimmerman. It was a great day for justice that this travesty was finally brought to a halt.
We all know Al Sharpton, the execrable race baiter of Tawana Brawley and Crown Heights, agitated publicly for this trial more than anyone else. But he most likely would not have succeeded had it not been for Obama’s tacit support. As far as I know this is unprecedented in our history (a president involving himself in a trial of this nature).
The media also followed Obama (as they always do) by enabling the demagogue Sharpton, as if he were a serious person. The media, as I wrote before, treated this case like pornography, something to be exploited, giving it all sorts of racial import it didn’t have. The New York Times, acting like true reactionaries of the Obama era (how can we use the word “liberal” with these people?), even went so far as to invent the term “white Hispanic” to fit the case. The National Enquirer couldn’t have done it better. (I take it back. The Enquirer behaves more ethically.)
The irony is that the people who suffer most from the media behaving in this manner are black people who are manipulated into acting as an interest group when they have no interest. They are literally victims of the media and of Obama.
Actually, the administration is already foisting yet more racism on the country. At Jammie Wearing Fools, "Racial Arsonist Holder Pressured by Democrats, NAACP to File Charges Against Zimmerman."
The race riots have kicked off in Oakland, and the left is pushing for more. These people will stop at nothing to bring this country down.
