Weer'd World

From Joan:

On the way to church this morning, we saw a group of teens walking along the street with hooded sweatshirts on. It happened they these were black teens. But it could have been white teens. It’s a sunny, but chilly day in my neck of the woods today so it is not a surprise to see people with hoods of their jackets or sweatshirts up around their heads for warmth. But after the Trayvon Martin case, a hooded sweatshirt will never look quite the same.

All I could think is after the Trayvon Martin case a teenager on somebody’s chest beating away at their face while their victim screams at the top of their lungs for help looks about the same to me. Still my goal as a self-defense activist hopes that trying to beat on a random stranger looks a whole lot different to people who have such behavior in their social tool box.

This doesn’t just go for gun and self-defense friendly states like Florida or Texas, but states like Massachusetts or California are finding their offices that issue carry permits are taxed to the ragged edge keeping up with demand, as are gun counters selling guns to people.

Further if Zimmerman’s story is true (and the corroborating evidence is pointing that way) this has nothing to do with “Stand Your Ground” or “Shoot First”. This is plain-Jayne “Justifiable Homicide” which is 100% legal in every state in the union, and an atrocity to damn near every American when you hear about somebody in England going to prison for doing the same thing.

Of course the Anti-Freedom people don’t believe ANYBODY should defend their own life, certainly not against somebody who is unarmed, but still doing their best to beat you to death.

There are a lot of people who are claiming Mr. Martin’s hoodie has something to do with his death. They ignore the fact that he was wandering, close to dark, in the rain, potentially on drugs, and attacked a man who was reporting his suspicious behavior to Police.

Of course they want Zimmerman not only to be a murderer, but they want the motive to be because Mr. Martin was black, and Zimmerman was a Klansman. Further they want a race riot. With the way guns and permits have been going around, people are going to be defending their lives and their homes from the riots. This will result in “Gun Death” which is the currency of those who hate freedom.

Thankfully most of us want better.

First there’s a recent photo of Zimmerman released. looks like the orange jumpsuit picture was after his 2005 arrest where all charges were dropped. Looks like he’s a LOT more trim. He’s still 5’09”, which is “Short” by my standards. I’ll also note during his 911 call when he was perusing Martin, he was never heard to be running.

Obama’s best friends, the New Black Panther Party are putting a Vigilante bounty of $10,000 on Zimmerman’s head, they’re looking to raise more to sweeten the deal of murdering an innocent man. I would point out that this is hypocrisy, but I’m starting to wonder if these people aren’t simply misrepresenting the truth because they are angry, violent, racists.

Speaking of angry violent racists. “Snuffy” Pfleger is doing his general hate-filled bullshit on this case.

The more I see the more I side on Mr. Zimmerman. It seems that most of my thoughts to his guilt are misinformation, or unfounded claims. At this point I think Zimmerman was acting in self-defense, and unless they decide to make him a sacrificial lamb for these racist jerks, he’ll walk free. Then we’ll see race riots and innocent people getting killed.

Its sad.
