Oh Look, Zimmerman's Not A Racist?
 

Now I'm*****ed.

George Zimmerman accused  the Sanford police department of corruption more than a year before he shot  Trayvon Martin, saying at a public forum the agency covered up the beating of a  black homeless man by the son of a white officer.

No ****?  Reported by the AP in May 23rd eh?

When did Tickerguy report this?

April 2nd, 2012.  And what did I say at the time?

What has happened here is, if this letter verifies, borders on criminal.

The race-baiters including Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and probably President Obama himself had to know that this was the case, or could have discovered it with any sort of diligent inquiry, which they willfully and intentionally did not perform.

It makes an abject mockery of NBC and their alleged "news coverage", not to mention the rest of the so-called "media" that not only rushed to judgment but seized upon the idea of "whitey slays black man" when the narrative didn't even fit as Zimmerman is Hispanic, and when that was pointed out they simply changed it to "white hispanic" so as to keep the lie alive.

To those who charge that Zimmerman was somehow "in the pocket" of law enforcement due to his father being an ex-judge, you've got problems now too.  If anything the local gendarme would want to see Zimmerman get railroaded and go straight to prison as he was all over the local cop shop just over a year previous!

Nearly two months ago folks.  This was buried by the mainstream media, on purpose, and I believe it was done for the express and malevolent purpose of stirring up racial bias charges where there was no reason to believe they existed -- in point of fact, the exact opposite is documented from the publicly-available evidence!

Zimmerman's public comments could be important because the Martin family and  supporters contend the neighborhood watch volunteer singled Martin out because  he was black. Zimmerman has a Peruvian mother and a white father. His supporters  have said he is not racist.

The Miami Herald first reported details from the January 2011 community forum  Wednesday. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the tape from the  meeting.

**** both the AP and Miami Herald, along with Faux News.

This information was in the public view two months ago.  Daily Caller had it, I had it, and I reported on it along with a few other places.  The mainstream media had access to it as well and would have reported on this fact if they had given a damn about the truth, which they do not, as it would have blown out of the water any claim of "racial motive" for Zimmerman's acts and made Sharpton, Obama and the rest of the race-baiters look like complete asses, not to mention the "New Black Panthers" who were advocating felony acts.

But of course they did not.

How many crimes of actual bias took place against white people by blacks as a direct and proximate consequence of this intentionally-biased and false reporting by the "mainstream media"?  How do those victims obtain justice in light of this?

The point here is simple -- if the cops in Sanford had a reason to be biased, it was to be biased against Zimmerman, as he had a record of going after them for what he alleged was corrupt behavior.

This was easily discoverable by any media outlet that was interested in reporting the truth, and both I and other independent reporters did exactly that.

Now the "mainstream" media puts this out two months later, hoping to bury it "under the fold" where nobody will see it.

That's bull**** folks -- pure and simple.

We, the people, should make damned sure that the media doesn't get away with this by organizing boycotts of advertisers and demanding full-page public retractions on the front page of every paper who ran this crap and 60 second or better saturation public service announcements on television outlets, apologies and both the naming and firing of everyone involved.

Nothing else will suffice.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Dick Holder, the Sheriff of Nottouchingmybrosham, has got a blank taxpayer checkbook to go after Zimmerman for felonious aggravated jaywalking, and other "heinous" Federal violations that he can invent.

I suspect that the Martin case is incorrectly considered newsworthy because it is generally perceived that white against black violence is a thing of the past and is, therefore, unusual. Black against white violence is ignored because it is correctly perceived as being more common. But I note the truth of what some black comedians mention about the lack of reporting about missing or murdered black women and children vs the large amount of national coverage of missing or murdered white women and children.

I just ignore all of this "news" because it's not worth my time nor anyone else's with the exception of the individuals directly involved.

GZ has already been selected to burn at the stake for contrived racial hate crimes. Since there are no Sharpton or Jackson equivalents in the white or hispanic races there is virutally nothing to stop it either and the wheels of injustice will continue to turn. In America the loudest squeaky wheel that can cause the greatest amount of damage always get the grease, justice and truth be damned.

It really seems to me like every piece of information that comes out furthers the case for Zimmerman and makes the knee-jerk race-baiters who came out in droves early on look more and more like the true racists they are.

Actually, the most disturbing development in this case are the original witnesses suddenly flip flopping on their original statements. I.E. Zman was on top of Trayvon. the article is linked here in one of the forum posts.

Good try given who had the grass stains on his back AND the lack of knuckle injury on Zimmerman (and presence of them on Martin)

That's not "disturbing", it's witness tampering and it's a felony.

The race baiting was in no way, shape, or form knee-jerk, it was deliberately reported that way, from the beginning, at the behest of the lawyer representing the parents of Trevon. The Conservative Tree House is all over it http://theconservativetreehouse.com/cate.... , start at the beginning and read each update, and learn how much of what we heard about this case at the beginning was an orchestrated smear job.

The real story is Obama and the complete lack of leadership. A real leader would unemotionally present the facts, whether it's political expedient or not and defuse the situation. Obama went in hiding on the issue, he stressed to wait for the facts to come out and then make a judgement... Instead we are going to have a show trial and silence on his part. This issue is not lost on the American people and he is going to have a hard time getting elected as this one issue crystalizes and confirms their suspicion that's he a dud.

The media on the other hand isn't interested in reporting facts, it's interested in making headlines. That's why Fox News always has Breaking News, as insignificant as it maybe. Which makes me wonder, how come nobody has asked Obama about the Trayvon case recently?

Yep, it's well known that eye witnesses are notoriously crappy in fact. I am pretty sure I read of one who said that Trayvon was on top but subsequently after watching the news more is sure that it must have been Zimmerman because he's bigger. Such a person's opinion is now entirely worthless.

So Gen, who do you think is doing the "tampering"? It would appear it was the Sanford police but I don't know. I thought might be doing a ticker on it when it came earlier this week. I found it very alarming and highly suspicious when I read it.

Oh, the Hispanic equivalents are there, it's just that gun control is a more important issue to them then throwing a Hispanic Zimmerman under the bus.

From http://www.hispanicallyspeakingnews.com/....
Quote:
Early on Rush Limbaugh chastised National Council of La Raza for not supporting Zimmerman, as a fellow Latino. They’re retorted: “The fact that George Zimmerman is Latino is irrelevant to his actions.” “Unfortunately, being Hispanic does not mean that you aren’t capable of bigotry or discrimination, it does not condone or preclude him from having acted in a discriminatory manner.”

Good-bye from the largest Hispanic civil rights organization in the U.S. Image

Then there was the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that released an official statement urging the Department of Justice to look at the killing of Martin as a federal hate crime.

Even smaller Latino organization are getting in the Dump Zimmerman as one-of-our-own band wagon. The “Latinos for Trayvon Martin” are “a coalition of Hostos professors, administrators, and students.” Hostos Community College is located in NYC and is a “Latino institution born out of struggle of Latinos for education equality and against American racism.”

But now comes the ultimate Adios, apparently Zimmerman’s Hispanic credentials have been officially revoked by the “Latino Alliance of Chicanos, Hispanics, Andeans, Nuyoricans, Central and Latin Americans” (LACHANCLA). This group pretty much has every Latino ethnicity and some covered. According to the group this is the first time anyone’s Latino credential have been erased.

Ouch, though I believe Mr. Zimmerman has more serious concerns like going to jail for a long time or being killed by vigilantes.

The group wants Zimmerman to admit to his wrong doing “By demonstrating he has no conscience, he cannot be considered a Latino,” says spokesperson Shawn Clota.


But here's the reason for their dissing of Zimmerman at the end of the article:

Quote:
Regardless of all the down with George Zimmerman, where the Latino voice has not been silent is calling for the review of gun laws and ‘Stand Your Ground’ self-defense legislation. In America countless Latinos are injured and die by hand guns everyday. African-Americans and Latinos have the second highest rate of gun homicide rates and gun assaults.

Whether George Zimmerman is a Latino or not is irrelevant but guns are decidedly anti-Latino and their effectiveness in the community has long been revoked.

It's not particularly surprising.... I've said before that "witnesses" say things that conflict with the physical evidence all the time. When they do, the physical evidence wins and the job of the lawyers is to press into that and figure out if they were really "bending with the wind" or whether someone "got to them."

Gonna take a shot in the dark here, but probably the Rainbow Coalition/Black Panther Party/NAACP and every other race baiting organization reached out to the witnesses. No one wants to be a hero and die for Zimmerman.

It is a shame, because there is so much evidence showing his innocence.

Reasonable doubt would be all that's required to acquit Zimmerman in the criminal trial. The flip-flopping witnesses would merely add to reasonable doubt, in my totally un-legal opinion. However, such worthless witnesses wouldn't hurt - and might possibly help - any bull**** wrongful-death civil suit.

Stuff like this is why I could never be a progressive. Zimmerman is a good little progressive and progressives have been trying to lynch him for months now. Only evil groups eat their own.

Groups like La Raza are primarily propaganda organs for the democratic party to control Latinos votes. Given that they're their progressives first it's not surprising they would offer up one of their own to be sacrificed.

"Staying rather quiet" as in not being out front the way he was in the Gates situation in which he used the word "stupid" in reference to the cop's behavior and then later suggesting that Gates and the cop should come over and discuss things over a beer. Obama interjected himself into the situation that time.
