Breaking News Update (14 July 2013, 0604 hours PST):
I wrote this post yesterday and scheduled it to appear tomorrow. However, in light of George Zimmerman's acquittal, I thought I'd post it as soon as I got out of bed.
Based on all the racially motivated hype, I was pleasantly surprised by the verdict. Discussing this case with a friend of mine over dinner last night, we agreed that if the prosecution merely went after Zimmerman with manslaughter charges, I would have been fine with that.
Instead the politically-charged prosecution attempted to dog-pile on the evidence in order to force a conviction by sheer weight of numbers. A "he-must-be-guilty-of-something" mentality, which is the theme of my original post below...
I must admit I haven't been paying too close attention to the Zimmerman Trial. Right from the get-go the race-baiters fanned the flames of racism, sanctifying Trayvon Martin, while demonizing the "white-hispanic" George Zimmerman.
I know nothing beyond the basic facts of the shooting.
I'm not saying Zimmerman is squeaky clean in all this, but now it's now a show trial; or as Roger Simon calls it media porn.
Mark Steyn on the otherhand, warns about the great danger to all of us when the state piles on the "evidence" to convict someone of something--anything.
Child abuse? Really?
Meanwhile, the lamestream media showed no interest whatsoever about the string of murders in the Windy City over the 4th of July Weekend.
Black-on-black crimes don't fit the liberal narrative of "rampant racism" among whites. Apparently even being "semi-white" is enough to publicly convict one of racism.
Today's Update Part II:
Protesting a Florida decision in California. Along with other images of people unhappy with the jury's verdict.
I've been seeing some "racism is alive and well in America" comments from some of my friends on Facebook.
Caucasians aren't the only ones capable of racism. Every culture across the globe deals with this issue. The problem in our country today is the claim that every decision made by a Caucasian is racially motivated. The "you-don't-like-Obama-because-he's-black" line of reasoning.
No, I don't like Obama, because I think he's a worse president than Jimmy Carter. But you can't convince the race card players of this.
