One
month away from the three ring circus that will be George Zimmerman's
trial for the murder of 17 year old Trayvon Martin, the public
assassination and rape of the young victim has jumped into full gear.
Zimmerman's
defense attorneys have released stuff found on Martin's cell phone,
pictures and texts depicting the now snuffed out life of a kid doing
kid stuff, who didn't know he was gonna die. He wasn't walking
around a ghetto. He was walking around his father's probably
predominately white neighborhood, going to the store and back. There
were no gangs, no gang-bangers. No reason for a reasonably street
savvy kid to worry about his own safety. He wasn't doing anything
except talking to a girl on his phone. How dangerous can that be?
The
defense calls the pictures released, evidence in the pending case
that shows their client Zimmerman is the victim here. The pictures
show Trayvon with gold grill. They show a marijuana plant. They show
Trayvon with his friends. One pic even shows a gun. Since Martin
wasn't in the pic with the gun, or holding the gun, it is
questionable whether the picture even came from Trayvon's phone.
Even if it did, he's a kid and kids download the damned things from
the internet to keep and show to their friends. Funny how stuff like this never seems to affect white kids, even after they kill 20 or 30 people.
Zimmerman's
defense team is still relying on that ages old American defense of
“little white guy defending himself against attacking big black
hoodie wearing ghetto kid.” This, despite telling the courts that
it would not seek immunity under the “stand your ground” defense
following public outcry against those bogus laws, put on the books
for one reason and one reason only, and that is to allow white men
with guns to shoot people because they want to, when they want to.
Nobody else, not black men, not black women, not even white women
have successfully been able to use the stand your ground defense and
thereby evade prison. Zimmerman ran into trouble as soon as he
invoked it. He lives like a white man, but was swiftly reminded of
his recent immigrant roots, so can't really claim master of the
universe immunity/privilege like a “real” white guy. He's a bit
too brown toned for that.
Zimmerman's
defense can't stand on the facts of the case because Zimmerman
precipitated the incident where he killed an unarmed kid after
police told him via dispatch to leave Martin alone. Zimmerman
brought the gun, got into a fight and killed the youth in cold blood
just feet from his father's house.
So
now the only option seems to be a public rape, just like what happens
to women who report sexual assaults and black men/women/youth in the
USA. It's never the assailant who is tried in court. It is always the
victim put on trial, raped repeatedly with questions about past acts
having no bearing on the incident in question, and Trayvon Martin is
no exception. A recent case in point, Charles Ramsey of Cleveland.
All he did was rescue three kidnapped women held for 10 years and
w-Within 24 hours every news organization was reporting on his past
bad acts, as if to say he's not a good guy. He's not the hero that
everybody thinks he is. Retried in the court of public opinion until folks got mad about it.
The
pictures and what they depict, don't matter. They are not evidence
about the incident in question. They are being held up and waved
around only to say “look, George Zimmerman killed a bad guy, would
you want him in your neighborhood, talking on the phone to your
daughter?” Classic fall back defense of the bigoted in America when
they know they were in the wrong.
What
troubles me is that more often than not, it still works in Amerikkka.
It remains to be seen if the judge will actually allow them into
evidence given the notoriety of the case.
Martin
was a black kid walking home, doing what he was supposed to do, he
was accosted by Zimmerman, an arrogant prick with a gun who got his
jollies driving around his neighborhood harassing people who “didn't
fit” in with his perception of who should be there.
So
what if they fought. So what if Zimmerman got a bloody nose. So
what...
Trayvon
Martin lost his 17 year old life doing what he was supposed to do.
Doing what his parents had taught him to do for a change. He was 17,
not an angel. The kid was walking home when he was jumped and shot
for no reason by a white man with a gun.
Playing
the race card, am I? Damn right, because otherwise, we wouldn't be
having this conversation. If anyone other than the little white guy
police wannabe George Zimmerman had pulled the trigger on a black
hoodie wearing kid named Trayvon Martin on that fateful night, they
would still be in jail or already subjected to trial and convicted
and awaiting sentence, at the very least.
