Justice for Trayvon

    You cannot be alive and not be aware of the George Zimmerman trial and the aftermath. It is sad that a young man lost his life, but its also sad that so many people wanted to throw the justice system out the window and try Zimmerman on public opinion, instead of giving him what we all have a right to: our day in court, our right to be innocent til proven guilty.

   I am weary of the media. They don't just report the news. They tell us how we should feel about stories - which is feeling how they do. We can't have an opinion different from the media and liberals, or we are hateful.

  Here are some facts:
1) Zimmerman's neighborhood had been having a lot of robbery/theft problems, which is why a neighborhood watch was formed.

2) Trayvon Martin was not the innocent kid he was portrayed as. It wasn't allowed as evidence, but he had been in a lot of trouble at school for fighting, and did at least marijuana. He wasn't a good kid - and no, I'm not saying that bad kids should die, but he wasn't at all like the media portrayed him.

Check out the pictures below. The media ran the first one, trying to show him as an innocent little kid, yet there are several pictures of him looking like a thug with his middle fingers held up. You think that was an accident? No way. Yet, they found an older picture of Zimmerman to run that made him look bad. So much for no bias.

 

 

 3) Trayvon could have left at any time, but he hung around and from all accounts and evidence shows, picked a fight with Zimmerman. Eyewitnesses puts Trayvon on top of Zimmerman, beating his head into the cement. The evidence shows it was self defense

 

4) The media did their best to make this all about race. They called Zimmerman a "white Hispanic", a new term just coined for this case. Oddly, they don't call Obama a "white African American", though he is also half white. Even Obama had to stick his nose in it.... he would never have said a word if the victim had been a different color than him.

 

5) NBC edited the 911 call to make it sound like Zimmerman was a racist. Original call had the 911 dispatcher ask Zimmerman what color Martin was after Zimmerman said the kid looked like trouble, and he replied "he's black". In the version NBC played, they cut the question out, so it had Zimmerman saying "the kid looks like trouble, he's black". Zimmerman is suing, and he should win. NBC deliberately did him damage.

 

   From what I am getting from the media, liberals, and majority of the black community, the evidence should be thrown out. They focus on the fact that a teenager was killed. Several comments were made "its ok to kill black teenagers now". The jurors' and Zimmerman's lives have been threatened.

 

  It is sad a young man died, but the evidence proved it was self defense. And something the media and liberals are ignoring, is we are innocent til proven guilty, and guilt should be beyond a reasonable doubt. Too many people listened to the media and not the evidence. The message I am getting, is Zimmerman had no rights, he was guilty til proven innocent, the evidence doesn't matter, and he should go to prison just because a segment of the US hates him and wants him in jail.

 

  If you don't think this is about race, read this news story on Breitbart, Trayvon Martin and the forgotten dead. It lists several tragic deaths of black people, many young, even kids, that we haven't heard a peep about. Why? Because they were killed by other blacks...... so why did a self defense shooting by a Hispanic man of a black teenager become such a national news story? Why has the president, members of congress, sports figures, etc gotten involved? Because there is an element in this country who wants to keep racism alive. Had Trayvon been white, we would never have heard about it. And no, that is not a racist statement. It is true. There is white on black crime a lot, black on black, and we never hear anything about it, but especially since Obama got in office, the media likes to focus on any white on black violence or crime, or in this case, Hispanic on black. If they didn't want to fan the flames, then why don't they cover the stories in the news article above?

 

 

   It is a tragedy that Trayvon Martin died, even though he wasn't the good kid the media portrayed him as, but that doesn't mean Zimmerman should go to jail. He was innocent til proven guilty, and a jury examined the evidence - something the media refused to do - and reached the verdict they did. We need to move on and stop the threats, the protests, the hate. When OJ Simpson (black) killed Nicole Simpson (white) and was declared innocent, and unlike this case  the evidence showed guilt, but he got off....... I don't remember rage, rallies, the president and congress getting involved.

 

  There are young black kids killed daily - murder, not self defense, and you don't see the media, Obama, congress, sports figures, singers, etc honoring them, having rallies, and demanding justice for them....... if the answer to why they did it for Trayvon wasn't to stir up racial tensions, then what is the answer? Why are the same people screaming about Trayvon Martin ignoring all the other deaths? That is a question that needs to be answered.

 

  In the meantime, yes it is sad Trayvon died, but the case has been tried and Zimmerman has been found innocent. Story over. Move on. Pray for the families if you want, but let's quit the hate and racial tensions.
