We have two new facets of the American judicial system. Tried by media and mob rule mentality. The media started the feeding frenzy with this picture.
They did such a great job, you need only type Tray on Google and the Trayvon Martin Case pops up. When I first saw this picture I thought a young fresh-faced black boy was killed by this Mexican already clad in an orange jail jumpsuit. I have written quite a few stories about illegals murdering Americans or killing someone by driving drunk. Moreover before these fatalities occurred most of these individuals had been in jail before and instead of being deported are released back into our society. Based on that my next thought, he was here illegally? I could not have been more wrong.
This image, direct from the media, shall we say is less then forthright. It was used like a fishing lure to attract the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, and Obama. Who can forget the Messiah fanning the flames with..."You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
Then reality sets in.
Zimmerman does not look like the monster the media portrayed him to be. Trayvon Martin is not a boy, nor as fresh-faced, without the halo. Martin had been suspended from school three times and was suspected of selling drugs. So he doesn't exactly come across like Opie Taylor.
That said, who really knows what happened in this case? Unlike the media and the race baiting lampreys Sharpton and Jackson I was not an eyewitness to this event. But I do know this. Zimmerman was brought in for questioning and was released because the Sanford police department determined the shooting was justifiable. Now after 45 days have gone by Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder and he could face a minimum of 25 years in prison or a maximum of life if convicted.
If this prosecutor isn't serving a plate of bullshit then someone tell me what it is.
Here goes:
In announcing the arrest, Corey (special prosecutor) would not discuss how she reconciled the conflicting accounts of what happened or explain how she arrived at the charges, saying too much information had been made public already. But she made it clear she was not influenced by the uproar over the past six weeks.
"We do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. We prosecute based on the facts on any given case as well as the laws of the state of Florida," Corey said.
WOW! She oughta get in to politics.
Are we to believe Zimmerman will get a fair trail? Good luck George. Rumor has it Corey and her posse are on their way to Ace Hardware to buy a rope.
The sharks have to be fed.
