History shows us that the thought that a black person deserved to die because of their skin color is well-based in fact; it has happened over and over and over again. <br /><br />I am a little encouraged that the judge didn't allow the defense's materials submitted to smear Trayvon. <br /><br />I hope when this is all over I can look back on this and say all my fears were unfounded. <br /> <br />~Chip :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02135986202917741607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091078896160115890.post-64321237779593486172013-05-29T14:43:12.873-07:002013-05-29T14:43:12.873-07:00What troubles me is there will probably be one or ...What troubles me is there will probably be one or more persons on the jury who will believe Travon deserved to die because he was a N-word.

The answer is so simple: they know how heavily the deck is stacked against them, so they excel in all the wrong things. <br /><br />Trayvon's murder is the epitome of this deplorable racist attitude. Zimmerman stalked Trayvon; the dispatcher told him to stand down, but Zimmerman had his own agenda. He was determined to do what he did. He knew just enough about the law that he thought he could pitch that he felt threatened: he had to "stand his ground." <br /><br />But the facts show that if Zimmerman had simply done what the dispatcher told him to do, Trayvon would be alive. Zimmerman is a dangerous man, with the police history to prove it.~Chip :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02135986202917741607noreply@blogger.com
