The Real Meaning of Zimmerman
Zimmerman was persecuted by the state for the purpose of making you think twice about helping your neighbour.If I see someone suspicious in my neighbourhood and think of keeping an eye out on him? I remember Zimmerman: maybe I shouldn’t, it could escalate and I could become the next 2-minute hate target. I hear what might be a cry for distress? Not my problem, it’s probably nothing and even if I intervene I could become the next Zimmerman. I see someone rooting around in my neighbour’s backyard? If I intervene I could be the next Zimmerman. | Free Northerner

Your Say
Nope. Zimmerman was prosecuted because it was a campaign boost to Obama for the '12 election. Although the trial came long after election day, the Ministry of Truth (formerly known as the independent media) gleefully helped Obama & Campaign appear to be doing something about oppressed black people, successfully taking their attention away from their sorry economic state that has only worsened under The Second Black President (since Clinton was the first).
And it was mission accomplished. Going after Zimmerman can no longer serve a political purpose for Obama because the 2014 mid-terms are to far away. So he sent Holder down to the NAACP to placate them with the patented Obama Administration Righteous Indignation - and every one of them knew by the end of the speech that the game was over and that was that. So they dutifully threw together a few dozen poorly-attended marches around the country and now they are finished with them. And Obama dropped by the press briefing to empathize and identify with Trayvon Martin - and then probably went golfing.
So now Obama is content to let the whole l'affaire Zimmerman drop. That party is over. One might say that the jig is up, but well . . .

Remember, any time someone decides to raise hell in the neighborhood, grab the heater and confront them. If they're bungholes, 'Trayvon them'.
If they run, you have to run faster to get out front so you can shoot them in the chest, not the back.

Once upon a time a neighbor and helped our How set up a community watch. BUT we got pushback from PD and slow no response in others. Kind of a union thing. Would I bother in future? Nope.

That is the plan, see somebody committing a crime, check out the color of his skin first, if they are black let the crime happen.

Nope - will just make me kill the interloper without ever calling the dispatcher or police until well after.

Obama co-sponsored a bill to make "Stand your ground" stronger.

Sheep dogs--they will always be with us, as will the sheep, and the wolves.
What kind of man or woman are you--a sheep dog, a wolf, or a bleating lamb?

Take good care,

Whatever the short term political aims, I think the long term aim is as per the article. This is a battle between The State and The Civil Society.

This is the purpose of the sh*t-storm promised and sometimes delivered by various commielib groups, to preempt the next 'counter-revolutionary' episode. It works too. Our side needs to deliver sh*t-storms. Tug-of-war only works if both sides pull. Our side has dropped the rope and complained bitterly the other side is still pulling. Once they have all of the rope on their side they will increase the lynching of the rest of us.

"Once they have all of the rope on their side they will increase the lynching of the rest of us."
Good thing we have guns then...
Anyway, I'm inclined to let them have their stupid rope so they can hoist themselves on their own retard all the quicker.
Thw revolution is being televised.
