Although TDFB (that's me) prefers to write vapid posts on Usually Vapid Subjects on Saturdays to lift the spirits and empty the mind, today is the opposite. The Flogging Whip has had enough whining from George Zimmerman's smug, smirky, arrogant brother, Robert Zingingman the Bitter. His now-apparently-ceaseless insensitive baiting comments and insinuations about Trayvon Martin and his parents, indicate an intolerance for Others Not Like Him Even Worse Than his trigger-happy brother George. Proof? HERE
Yes, let's make the victim's past an issue (a fairly Regular Modern Teen). Let's ignore the facts of what he was doing in the neighbourhood AT THAT TIME on THAT night and focus on everything else, unlike how The Perpetrator's past of violence has been ignored by family and The Law.
Although you may be tired of the Trayvon-Zimmerman incessant media focus as I have been as well (I turn off, tune out, of late when pundits begin their coverage of the same-old-same-old outrage and or defenses), This Is A Story That Won't Go Away. And, as we now see, it's all for a very enlightening, thought-provoking reason:
A mere few days ago, one of the jurors in the trial admitted that she believed Zimmerman was guilty, yet had to acquit due to specific language in the legal instructions provided by the judge. Without definitive proof of any sort that Mr. Z deliberately killed Martin, the jurors could not charge him with 2nd degree Manslaughter. Period. Or so "they" say. We shall learn more upon the Obvious Appeal and/or Civil Suit – should either go forward. Thus, as millions believe, the guy DID get away with murder. Or so many of us think. (How could we think otherwise? Honestly? Don't give The Whip that Legal Language Crap. Most whips have lashes of their own with which to distribute punishment to Crimes Of Injustice.)
Beyond the sniffling brother, the admission of perceived guilt by the juror, is the Questionable Timing of the Hero Zimmerman sans cape or pictures or credible witnesses on his role in the rescue of 4 people trapped in a truck of some sort. Wasn't that development just a bit convenient for public opinion? Have you heard about this? RESCUE BS? Do you think anti-Zimmerman fanatics have gone too far this time? I don't. The connection between Good Old George and the officer at the scene is simply too coincidental to ignore. In addition, prior to hearing and reading anyone suggest a Staged PR Opportunity, my initial gut reaction "set off" my BS Detector. Unless it involves romance, my instincts are usually on target.
And get this! The Hate Mongering Racial Profiling Polarization population is now doing THIS
Mind-Boggling to those with minds.
Semi-rant over – for now.
