The Martin/Zimmerman incident is not like the
Champaign Police shootings of young black men.
Zimmerman may be an asshole or not. I am not sure.
Most but not all cops and wannabee cops are
indeed quasi-assholes. Not all.
But clearly Zimmerman was attacked, and on that basis he
has been set free, because of the self-defense argument.
The cause of the dispute betwen Martin and Zimmerman
becomes irrelevant when Zimmerman is attacked.
It's not like Zimmerman just pulled out his gun and
Oba-nam Style executed him because he was wearing a hoodie.
The law permits people to have encounters and disagreement.
When it erupts into physical violence particularly life-threatening
violence, then a line is crossed. The situation was
examined very clearly.
Justice my ass.
It's not justice that they are crying for.
It's blood.
They want an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
They want blood for bloodshed.
Well, actually what they want is Money.
But since there isn't any money available,
they'll settle for a few pints of blood,
and several ounces of testicular flesh if that
becomes available.
It is really a disgusting distraction for a noble movement
like Occupy! to get down and grub for cooties
with the blood-lust crowd.
