Michelle Malkin Slams Eric Holder's 'Department of Social Justice'

Michelle hammers the administration's selective enforcement of the laws, and Obama-Holder's "left-eyed" view of human tragedy.

On this morning's Fox & and Friends:



Also, at WaPo, "Eric Holder says he shares concerns about Trayvon Martin case."

New York Times Slurs America as 'A Country Plagued by Racism...'

Compare the New York Times' editorial on the verdict to the Wall Street Journal's. It's a huge gap in outlook, and seriously enormous consequences flow from which version prevails in the competition for truth in American politics. If the Times' version wins --- and the Zimmerman verdict is only a brief respite from this kind of relentless attack on truth --- then precarious days are ahead for freedom fighters of honesty, decency and justice.

 See, "Trayvon Martin’s Legacy":
It may not be possible to consider the case of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted Saturday of all charges in the killing of Trayvon Martin, as anything but a sad commentary on the state of race relations and the battle over gun rights in America today.

Certainly it is about race — ask any black man, up to and including President Obama, and he will tell you at least a few stories that sound eerily like what happened that rainy winter night in Sanford, Fla.

While Mr. Zimmerman’s conviction might have provided an emotional catharsis, we would still be a country plagued by racism, which persists in ever more insidious forms despite the Supreme Court’s sanguine assessment that “things have changed dramatically,” as it said in last month’s ruling striking down the heart of the Voting Rights Act. (The Justice Department is right to continue its investigation into whether Mr. Zimmerman may still be prosecuted under federal civil rights laws.)
And remember, the entire leftist program was beaten up badly by six honest jurists who just refused to be sucked into the regressive left's racial recrimination scam. But how long do we hold out as a nation against the forces of black shakedown socialism, with President Hussein rattling the beggars' cup? It's not looking good, folks. Keep fighting for justice. Rank and file patriots are all that's between truth and tyranny.

Who Ruined the Humanities?

From Lee Siegel, at WSJ:
When people wax plaintive about the fate of the humanities, they talk, in particular, about the slow extinction of English majors. Never mind that the preponderance of English majors go into other fields, such as law or advertising, and that students who don't major in English can still take literature courses. In the current alarming view, large numbers of people devoting four years mostly to studying novels, poems and plays are all that stand between us and sociocultural nightfall.

The remarkably insignificant fact that, a half-century ago, 14% of the undergraduate population majored in the humanities (mostly in literature, but also in art, philosophy, history, classics and religion) as opposed to 7% today has given rise to grave reflections on the nature and purpose of an education in the liberal arts.

Such ruminations always come to the same conclusion: We are told that the lack of a formal education, mostly in literature, leads to numerous pernicious personal conditions, such as the inability to think critically, to write clearly, to empathize with other people, to be curious about other people and places, to engage with great literature after graduation, to recognize truth, beauty and goodness.

These solemn anxieties are grand, lofty, civic-minded, admirably virtuous and virtuously admirable. They are also a sentimental fantasy...

'Kept in line with truncheons, rifle butts and truncheons…'

Laura Nelson's tweet from the rioting in Hollywood reminds me of Discharge, "State Violence, State Control":


Kept in line with truncheons

Rifle butts and truncheons

This is state control, this is state control

State control, state control, this is state control

Beaten up behind closed doors

Cracked and bruised ribs, bloody mouth

Cracked and bruised skull, bloody mouth

State control, state control, this is state control...

You know, because the right-bloggers were wrong about rioting, or something.

At the Los Angeles Times, "Trayvon Martin protesters block freeway, clash with LAPD."



More:



A "citywide tactical alert." Because there ain't no Zimmerman verdict "mass" riots or anything.

More, Occupy LA tweets photos of the police presence, because peace!

This is from John Alston at ABC 7 San Francisco, this evening:



And here's his earlier tweets, chronologically from earlier this evening:




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...'

At Munz's Place, "Portland 'Justice for Trayvon' Rally: 'Every F-ing Cop Is a F-ing 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.

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.
I've highlighted the thinly veiled promise of revolutionary street justice against Zimmerman.

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...'

When you're this f-king obsessed with race it's no surprise that your comments on something like this are completely incoherent. In one breath she says the verdict was completely justified given the evidence at trial and in the next she says it's open season an African American children. This, frankly, is why MSNBC's ratings are in the gutter. And it's increasingly clear now that NBC will be facing a lawsuit from Zimmerman for the epic lies, smears, race-baiting and revenge-mongering the network as perpetuated against the defendant.

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

The Wall Street Journal nails it with this editorial, "The Zimmerman Verdict":

Trayvon Martin Verdict photo 5a5d068a-e47e-4543-9edc-9e74aeb9f5e3_zps109dd289.jpg
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.

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.
More at the link.

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

Hey, incitement to death for George Zimmerman.

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.

“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.
Also at Breitbart, "New Black Panther Vows: 'Black Man Will Exact Justice on Zimmerman'."

Boy, they've got those Gandi lessons down cold.

Reporter Claudia Peschiutta Hit by Bean Bag Round in Nonexistent L.A. #Zimmerman Rioting Last Night — BWAHAHAHA!!

OMG, I can't stop the lulz!

The lying leftist losers are claiming there was no rioting last night following the Zimmerman verdict, but I guess they forgot to check with Los Angeles reporter Claudia Peschiutta, who was on the scene when LAPD riot patrols, surrounded by vicious rioting criminals, cleared the streets with non-lethal rounds.



Bwahaha! So peaceful. And hey, look over there! No riots!

Actually, I reported on L.A.'s rioting earlier --- but hey look over there! No "mass" riots! Bwahaha!!
