He was quoted in Tuesday's Newsmax as believing that George Zimmerman may have a civil case against the Florida state prosecutor, Angela Corey, for having called him a murderer AFTER the jury found him not guilty of murder or any lesser charge. I have provided you with the link to this article.

Now, he may not be innocent, which as any good attorney will tell you, there is a distinction between innocent and not guilty. But even this disinterested viewer can tell you that the state did an awful job with its evidence and with its witnesses. Casually watching some of the trial, even I could see he was going to go free.
Say what you want about the Florida "Stand Your Ground" law, until it is no longer the law, it is there to be used as a self-defense tool when a weapon is discharged by one civilian against another. Perhaps, the Florida Legislature needs to revisit this law to either modify it with stricter guidelines, or even overturn it all together.
As far as the Martin family was concerned, they were as gracious and as calm as could be expected from a family who lost a son in this tragic affair. And George Zimmerman and his family were as equally subdued even though he was set free. There was no whooping and hollering in the courtroom, unlike when OJ was found not guilty.
However, I don't see the justification for people not directly or even indirectly involved in this case to show their displeasure over a verdict they didn't like. Where was the need to break windows, set cars on fire or other violence, when in fact, those individuals should be calling on the Federal government to investigate the out of control black on black crime that happens every day, 365 days a year, in just about every city in America.
Since the Martin-Zimmerman altercation happened, over 11,000 black men, women and children have been accosted in some way at the hands of other blacks. That is something the NAACP and other civil rights groups should be demanding of our government to help stop, not complain about the injustice of a verdict that the state of Florida was incompetent again to obtain, as in the Casey Anthony case.
And by the way, if this prosecutor is this incompetent, perhaps she should be impeached, for putting the state of Florida in a position of financial jeopardy because she continued to try the case in the media Q&A after the verdict was in. Short of that, maybe Floridians will remember Ms. Corey's incompetence at the next election. Or, perhaps Governor Scott will relieve her now of her duties and responsibilities, because she was not very responsible.
In any event, let's remember that one man died and another man's life is basically a mess, all because the media and the President made a circus of this disaster. And next time Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton show up, tell them to leave because your tragedy isn't their business to find the spotlight for their warped egos.
Remember, they care about themselves. They don't care a wit about you and your grief.
I agree with most of the article except Stand Your Ground, and I'll get to that at the end.
ReplyDeleteThe Trayvon Martin death is a tragedy and I hope if there's one thing that comes out of it, it is that America can focus on the genocide of black people that has been going on for years now.
Why is it that people equate the life of one black man killed by a non-black to be worth more than the thousands that die every month from black-on-black crime and abortion?
Many Americans decided to unite for what they believed to be a just cause but not only do they got it all wrong, they're actually creating more racial divide and causing harm to others plus destroying property. The Martin family will probably set up a foundation in his name if they haven't done so already, but that foundation will likely conjure up memories of the death of a black man by a non-black man, rather than focusing on a bigger issue like the high death rate of black people.
As for SYG: it is getting the same kind of treatment that Zimmerman is getting from the media and the government. Maybe I'm mistaken, but SYG had nothing to do with this case, much like the race angle that the left has been pimping.
Those are my thoughts. Good article, Frank. Take care.
