Oh, And Martin? It Appears He Did Punch Zimmerman
 

It's falling apart for the prosecution here folks...

WFTV has learned that the medical examiner found two injuries on Martin’s body: The fatal gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.

When you compare Trayvon’s non-fatal injury with Zimmerman's bloody head wounds, the autopsy evidence is better for the defense, Sheaffer said.

“It goes along with Zimmerman's story that he acted in self-defense, because he was getting beaten up by Trayvon Martin,” Sheaffer said.

The injury to Martin’s knuckle also fits with Zimmerman's story that before he shot and killed Martin, Martin had broken his nose and knocked him to the ground, slamming his head on the sidewalk.

And Zimmerman had 2 black eyes, a broken nose, and wounds to the back of his head.

The medical evidence isn't looking good from the standpoint of the prosecution.  We now have medical confirmation that is consistent with Martin being the individual who inflicted the injuries on Zimmerman.

Prosecuting Zimmerman was never about the evidence, it was about appeasing a portion of the population that had been whipped into a frenzy by the media's rush to judgment. Look at all the media moves -- the redacted 911 conversation that made Zimmerman sound like a racist, the retouched video that eliminated the wounds on the back of his head, the photos of Trayvon as a smiling 12-year-old rather than the more recent ones of the 17-year-old thug. (The Daily Mail in Britain was still using those yesterday.)

ETA: It was also about pushing an anti-gun, anti-self defense agenda IMHO on the part of the media elite, but that's just me being a conspiracy nut.

And if the press simply doesn't show up? Or doesn't air the footage?

I've always thought the MSM was full of ****, but this case has been so blatant that I find it hard to believe *ANYTHING* anymore.

Karl none of that matters this is about justice for sweet little Trayvon.

Quote:
WFTV has learned charges against George Zimmerman could be getting more serious.

State prosecutors said Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, profiled and stalked 17-year-old Trayvon Martin before killing him, so the FBI is now looking into charging him with a hate crime.



And lets ignore all the recent attacks by gangs of blacks against whites.

Hate crime charges are the tool of corrupt justice system, you know Dick Holder is behind this.

Getting to look more and more like this prosecution was based upon the color of skin. So we really haven't changed much from the 1800's, have we now???

Dershowitz suggested that maybe it's time for the prosecutor to lawyer-up.

Btw, who had a hand in bringing in a special prosecutor anyway? Was DC behind that?

When/if the charges are dropped it’s going to be a tense time as a white male for a bit.

We’ve seen the stories from around the country of whites being targeted SPECIFICALLY out of anger over this case. The black community is going to see Zimmerman as the white OJ, despite the inconvenience of supporting evidence. Have to be very smart about how you go about your business. Parts of town, times when you go to an ATM or gas station, out jogging, etc. This is all the main stream media’s fault.

One of these images is a person of proud Native American heritage, whose ability to overcome racial prejudice and to have a phenomenally successful academic and professional career was aided by Federally-supported affirmative action programs.

The other is of a typical white person whose obvious racial bias against people of color led to a hate-based criminal act of coldblooded murder.

I'm going to really train hard with my wind sprints in the next 6 weeks.

After charges are dropped against GZ if I happen to get chased by black people yelling "Trayvon, Trayvon" my only real hope is outrunning them. If I fight back I may get charged with a 'hate crime'.

Yea, I'm not buying this forensic report as showing Zimmerman was assaulted.

IMO, that evil racist Zimmerman was smashing his skull into the hands of that poor, cherub like, wrapped in a blanket made from his dying mothers hoodie, 7 pound 3 ounce baby Trayvon.

Matt I wouldn't say this is the MSM's fault, this story was propagated by the White House.

Marching orders were sent out from there and the MSM just went out and carried them out.

Look into Richard Kurtz, history, and you'll begin to see the "connection(s)".

big hat tip to the CTH...

Quote:

But Richard Kurtz is no random disconnected Funeral Director without a vested interest, or agenda, in the outcome of the case. To really understand we have to look at his history.

1985 Sun Sentinel - Sitting in the quiet office of his funeral home, Richard Kurtz talked about the new black battlefront: economics.

Unfortunately for Kurtz, the fight for minority enterprise and job opportunities is not the stuff of front-page headlines. And thus, his decade of leadership as president of the Broward County chapter of the NAACP has given him only scattered yellow clippings to mark his successes. When Kurtz took the helm in December 1974 at age 23, he was the youngest president of an NAACP branch. His tenure in office was the longest in Broward County history.

Some have claimed Kurtz has not been vocal or active enough in protesting lingering discrimination. One of those critics is Eula Johnson, who headed the Fort Lauderdale branch of the NAACP from 1958 to 1964.

“It is better (now), but it’s not good enough,” she said. “We need more of the wealth, more of equal opportunity to share the good life that America has to offer.” (more)

1986 FORT LAUDERDALE — Richard Kurtz, a longtime black activist, announced to NAACP officials Thursday his plans to run for state Sen. Tom McPherson`s seat in November. Angered that McPherson, D-Fort Lauderdale, dropped his controversial annexation plan, the NAACP has vowed to push for McPherson`s defeat and replace him with a black candidate. (more)

2001 – Following the Bush V Gore Election fiasco in Florida - They [black activists] said George W. Bush is the wrong man to be inaugurated this weekend, and they blamed his brother Gov. Jeb Bush.

“In 2002 we’re going to get rid of that Bush in Tallahassee and in 2004 we’re going to get rid of that Bush in Washington, D.C.,” Richard Kurtz, president of the Broward County Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Committee, roared to the crowd. “Then we’ll be free at last!”

Rep. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale (*note remember this name), appointed by the governor to an election-reform task force, announced that public testimony regarding voting irregularities would be taken Feb. 1 at Nova Southeastern University in Davie. (read more)

2005 – Chris Smith: “The problem with term limits is I’m at the apex of influence and knowledge of Tallahassee and I have nowhere to go. I love District 93. I love representing Lauderdale Manors and Dora River Bend and the central Fort Lauderdale area.”

The district’s residents, a mix of poor and working-class people in northwest Fort Lauderdale and unincorporated Central Broward, think highly of their home-grown representative. Smith credits the NAACP Youth Council with grooming him for politics. Smith joined the NAACP as a youth member when Richard Kurtz was president.

“I never thought then that Chris would become what he is today,” Kurtz said. “Then, he was a very quiet person. He didn’t talk a lot.” Smith attended conventions and programs during which the NAACP leadership would present its ideas and issues to the governor. (read more)
So who took point in leading the Florida Task Force for Removal of the Stand Your Ground Law?…… Yep, State Senator CHRIS SMITH, the same Chris Smith who fought against the Stand Your Ground law in 2005 and was a severe critic of its passage. The same Chris Smith who was mentored in the youth movement of the Broward County NAACP by then President Richard Kurtz.

The same Richard Kurtz, Funeral Director, who handled Trayvon Martin’s body and who specifically sewed the seeds of deception and storyline selling for Team Trayvon with the above referenced article and with numerous TV appearances.

Again full credits and H/T to these Folks..

Plan A was to have enough evidence to implicate Z. That clearly didn't work out.

On to Plan B, where evidence is irrelevant.

Pursuing Z with a hate crime would go a long way towards trying to neuter the male caucasian population.
