Zimmerman gave up his personal time to be a neighborhood watch and had a reason to suspect Travon, because there had been burglaries in the area committed by black males. Why didn't the blacks blame the real problem in the area; the black males that created the profiling situation in the first place by breaking into homes. And, if Travon had gone home and not 'jumped' Zimmerman, who he called the "Creepy White ass Cracker' then he'd be alive today. Maybe next time some punk decides to attack someone they'll think twice!!!

What struck me was the obvious desperation the prosecution displayed when they jumped into over dramatized theatrics directed at the jury, and they lost me completely by reducing the charges. I could smell the dirty dealing they were throwing out. At the least, they obviously over charged and then tried to weasel the jury into a "lesser" conviction, which could still mean a 30 year sentence from a hard line judge. Then there were the pictures of a 13 year old Martin and constant references to him as a "child" - 17 years at his death, six foot plus Trayvon Martin was almost old enough to enlist with the armed forces to kill the enemies of his country. He was not a "child".

The original prosecutor declined to file charges; race hacks such as Sharpton and now Obama jumped into the picture; at least one one local government employee associated with the case was fired, carpetbagger prosecution staff was imported to file charges; there was a trial motivated by politically driven racial agenda; and George Zimmerman was declared NOT GUILTY by a jury of his peers.

But, the race hacks weren't satisfied and their audiences pre convicted Zimmerman in their minds but didn't watch the trial nor were they in on the jury deliberations. So, Sharpton and Obama continue to spout their racially motivated nonsense, some peacefully demonstrate their opinion while a few vandalizing thugs are described as "activists" by at least one media outlet, and Eric Holder - possibly hampered by having already taken sides by giving governmental (Homeland Security) support to demonstrators during the trial and having no evidence that civil rights were violated (via prior investigation by his own FBI) - may try to assemble a kangaroo court civil trial in an effort to further punish Zimmerman. After all, the federal judge and federal prosecutor to be assigned the case both work for the executive branch of our government, and a biased Barack Obama is their CEO.

It's almost as though Zimmerman should be tarred and feathered and rode out of town on rail to be hung in a tree by an angry mob, sort of like what the KKK used to do in their very similar racist vendettas.

Sharpton and Obama can speak to me about white racism when the number one cause of death to young black males is no longer that of being murdered by other young black males.
