HELLO MY DEARS FRIENDS. I'M SURE THAT YOU HAVE HEARD OF THE VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY IN REFERENCE TO TRAYVON MARTIN'S SENSELESS MURDER. IT HAS TAKEN ME THIS LONG TO WRITE A POST BECAUSE I WAS DEVASTATED BY THE VERDICT. I ACTUALLY CRIED WHEN THE VERDICT CAME BACK AS NOT GUILTY. FOLKS ,THIS IS SOUTHERN STYLE JUSTICE AT ITS PUREST!! I HAVE WATCHED BITS OF THE TRIAL AND IN MY OPINION A LOT OF MISTAKES WERE MADE. FIRSTLY, A WOMAN WAS ALLOWED TO TESTIFY HOW HER HOUSE WAS BROKEN INTO WHILE SHE WAS AT HOME WITH HER INFANT CHILD. I CAN UNDERSTAND HER FEAR ,BUT WHAT DID THAT HAVE TO DO WITH TRAYVON? SECONDLY,WHY WAS TRAYVON'S MOTHER AND BROTHER QUESTIONED ABOUT THEIR LEVEL OF EDUCATION AND NOT ZIMMERMAN'S MOTHER? A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT IN BROOKLYN, I WITNESSED A PEACEFUL PROTEST. AND I MUST ADMIT ,THAT THIS BROUGHT ME SOME COMFORT. TO KNOW THAT OTHERS SHARE IN MY CONCERN . TO KNOW THAT WE, THE PEOPLE, STILL HAVE A VOICE. IN THIS CROWD, I SAW PEOPLE OF ALL RACES. THERE WERE JUST AS MANY WHITES AS PEOPLE OF COLOR. AND THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ME THE MOST COMFORT. PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT WE ARE MISSING THE REAL REASON BEHIND THIS VERDICT. IF YOU KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY THEN YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS IS NOTHING NEW. THIS IS A NEW MILLENNIUM WITCH HUNT. IN 17TH CENTURY NEW ENGLAND, 21 WHITE WOMEN WERE MURDERED BY THE HANDS OF THE LAW BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY OF BEING WITCHES. SOME OF THESE WOMEN WERE FOUND GUILTY FOR SIMPLY WEARING THE COLOR BLACK!! ( TRAYVON WAS MURDERED FOR WEARING A HOODIE !!). IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY IN NEW ORLEANS,11 SICILIAN IMMIGRANTS WERE LYNCHED AFTER 3 SICILIAN MEN WERE FOUND NOT GUILTY OF KILLING POLICE CHIEF DAVID HENNESSEY. ( IN THE EYES OF THE JURORS,TRAYVON WAS GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION. SOME BLACK YOUTHS BROKE INTO THIS LADY'S APARTMENT SO HE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE,BY BEING MURDERED.) A GRAND JURY LATER FOUND THE LYNCH MOB NOT GUILTY OF THE SLAUGHTER OF THESE POOR ITALIAN MEN. FOR MANY YEARS AFTER, ITALIANS WERE TAUNTED WITH "WHO KILLA DA CHIEF". EVERY ITALIAN WAS PERCEIVED TO BE IN THE MAFIA. ( PHOTOS ARE BEING SHOWN OF TRAYVON IN THE MEDIA OF WEARING A RED SHIRT. SUBLIMINALLY SUGGESTING THAT HE WAS IN A GANG). WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT GEORGE'S DAD WAS A FORMER ORANGE CO. FLORIDA JUDGE,IN THE BACK OF MY MIND,I KNEW THAT HE WOULD GET OFF EASY, BUT NOT THAT EASY!! GEORGE ZIMMERMAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DUI, RESISTING ARREST OF AN OFFICER WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND RESISTING ARREST OF AN OFFICER WITH VIOLENCE!!! CAN YOU SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE HERE? YOU OR I ,WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN UNDER THE PRISON FOR THE LATTER OFFENSE!!! A WOMAN IN THAT SAME STATE, WAS SENTENCED TO 25 YEARS IN PRISON, FOR FIRING A WARNING SHOT INTO THE WALL,IN AN ATTEMPT TO DETER HER HUSBAND FROM BEATING HER UP FURTHER. WE THE PEOPLE,MUST LET OUR VOICE BE HEARD!! THE PEOPLE, MEANING ALL PEOPLE. HAD ZIMMERMAN KILLED A HISPANIC, ASIAN, NATIVE AMERICAN OR WHITE PERSON ( WHO'S PARENTS DIDN'T HAVE EQUAL CLOUT ) , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME OUTCOME. WE MUST FIGHT CLASSISM IN THIS LAND. DON'T LET THE MEDIA DIVIDE US!! THIS IS PROPAGANDA TO DISTRACT US!!! US,THE COMMON PEOPLE,THE EVERYDAY PEOPLE,THE BLUE COLLAR PEOPLE, MUST DEMAND FROM OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, TO UPHOLD THE JUSTICE THAT THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON. IF ONE MAN'S CIVIL RIGHTS ARE TAKEN , THEN EVERY MAN'S CIVIL RIGHTS ARE TAKEN. WE ARE ONE!! WE ARE ONE PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA. I KNOW MY DEAR FRIENDS,THAT I HAVE WROTE A SOMEWHAT LONG ARTICLE TODAY. AND FOR ALL WHO READ THIS, I THANK YOU! BUT THIS CASE WEIGHS HEAVY ON MY HEART. I BELIEVE IN JUSTICE,BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS WORLD SOMETIMES MONEY AND POLITICAL POWER OUT WEIGH ETHICS. NO DOUBT,GEORGE ZIMMERMAN HAS BROKEN THE LAW. HE HAS BROKEN MORAL CODE. HE HAS BROKEN MOST IMPORTANTLY UNIVERSAL LAW!! I PRAY THAT OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CHARGES HIM AND THAT HE IS FOUND GUILTY IN THE COURT OF LAW. BUT AS WE KNOW ,SOMETIMES IN LIFE THINGS DON'T GO AS EXPECTED. BUT THIS I KNOW,GEORGE ZIMMERMAN MAY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH MURDER. BUT HE WILL NOT ESCAPE THE JUSTICE OF GOD. THE JUSTICE OF THE UNIVERSE. HE WILL BE PUNISHED FOR ALL EYES TO SEE AND IT WON'T BE BY THE HANDS OF MAN. NO,NO!! PEOPLE LIKE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN DESTROY THEMSELVES!!
