ARREST GEORGE ZIMMERMAN

 

In the whole swirling political/media uproar over Trayvon Martin's shooting, only two things are indisputably clear: A 17-year-old boy is dead, and George Zimmerman shot him.

Nothing we can do can bring Trayvon back. It's clear from all versions of this event that Trayvon did not deserve to die. It is not clear whether his death is a result of murder, manslaughter or what the law calls "justifiable homicide" -- a legal term for an intentional death that is not a criminal act.

The other thing we can know for sure is that this case has exploded in the media in part because it touches a raw nerve for every African-American in this country, but perhaps most especially African-American middle-class parents. Can they protect their sons? Will the law stand with them in this process?

If the answer is "no," then no African-American family in this country, however successful, however law-abiding, can feel safe.

If we don't empathize with this reaction on the part of black parents, we cannot in our turn be trusted or ask them to trust the legal process.

What we owe Trayvon and his grieving parents, and every other anxious parent in this case, is the truth.

Was it murder? Or justifiable self-defense?

That depends on uncovering what actually happened that night. We have only one process for discovering that truth, and it is the legal process. It is imperfect. But the last few weeks, if they have proven anything, have proven this: As a mechanism for uncovering truth and doing justice, trial by jury is infinitely superior to the barbaric ordeal of trial by media.

We live in very ugly postmodern times in terms of our public and media culture. Elites right and left have recognized clearly the power of "spin" as an ancillary to the great doctrine of Plato that poets are the real rulers of society.

Someone at NBC who edited the 911 tapes from that night was acting on that impulse: The narrative which serves the "larger purpose" is more important than the truth. Here is what NBC broadcast, what millions heard as truth:

Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black."
At rallies across the country, speakers refer to having heard these 911 tapes to confirm their worst fears: A good kid can be gunned down for "looking black" and the law does not care.
But here's what actually happened that night:
Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."
Dispatcher: "OK, and this guy -- is he black, white or Hispanic?"
Zimmerman: "He looks black."
NBC's edit was a savage violation of not only the norms of journalism, but of basic human decency. NBC has issued a weak apology but zero explanation for how a mainstream, powerful, well-funded news organization could do this.

Crafting a narrative that allows you to seize power, or hurt your political enemies now appears more important to both right and left than what Plato called the most crucial task:

"Crucial indeed is the struggle, more crucial than we think -- the choice that makes us good or bad -- to keep faithful to righteousness and virtue in the face of temptation, be it of fame or money or power, or of poetry -- yes, even of poetry."
Or, I might add, journalism
Arrest George Zimmerman. Not because I know or you know his actions were a crime, but because the legal process is only way we can possibly know the truth.

And without truth, there can be no justice.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The U.S. natural gas market is bursting at the seams.

So much natural gas is being produced that soon there may be nowhere left to put the country's swelling surplus. After years of explosive growth, natural gas producers are retrenching.

The underground salt caverns, depleted oil fields and aquifers that store natural gas are rapidly filling up after a balmy winter depressed demand for home heating.

The glut has benefited businesses and homeowners that use natural gas. But with natural gas prices at a 10-year low — and falling — companies that produce the fuel are becoming victims of their drilling successes. Their stock prices are falling in anticipation of declining profits and scaled-back growth plans.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The residents who live in the gated community where Trayvon Martin was killed could soon find themselves in a legal battle.

Several attorneys say if Martin's parents file a civil suit, the homeowners association for the Retreat at Twin Lakes could be named in the case, meaning residents of the community could end up paying big money for the 17-year-old's death.

"I would be terribly surprised if the Martin family did not eventually bring a lawsuit against the HOA," said Tampa attorney John Fitzgibbons. Fitzgibbons says the key question will be whether George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain for the HOA who fatally shot Martin, was told not to carry a gun and what guidelines were given to members of the watch group. "I'm sure the HOA will say he was a lone ranger as far as whatever happened. Somebody else might say, (like) the family (that) they knew what he was doing, he's been doing this for a long time. He was acting within their scope and authority."

    

The head of a statewide advocacy group for people living in community associations says, in general, neighborhood watches are good. But Jan Bergemann with Cyber Citizens for Justice notes guidelines for watch groups are critical.

"You know neighborhood watch groups are what the name says, 'watch' is the magic word in that part. They should watch, they should observe, and then they should call the police and let police deal with the issue," Bergemann told 10 News. How much and how closely Sanford police worked with the Retreat at Twin Lakes Neighborhood Watch volunteers will also likely be examined if a civil suit is filed. But Fitzgibbons adds Zimmerman will not need to be charged criminally for such a suit to move forward. "You can win the criminal case and you can lose the civil case and visa versa. Look at O.J. So one

is about money and one is about liberty and that's the difference?" he said.

  
Bottom line, Bergemann says while HOA amenities like a community pool, club house, or tennis courts are nice, members also need to understand they assume some neighborhood liabilities, adding if a civil suit is filed and the HOA loses it could result in a special assessment for the community members.

There is no other way of saying it, Obama is just like Joe Hunter, a BIG damn lair.  And the management does nothing about it.  I send all the HOA and the CDD at the time that I was in Maine when this SOB said I was placing my card on the golf cart.  No one cares, I give up.  Have a good day

So Obama's Father Served in WWII.

How???  (cannon fodder??)

(DOES THIS MAN LIE OR IS HE JUST TOO DUMB TOO THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

CAN NOT DO THE MATH.....)

Another slap in the face to U.S. Veterans.

Obama's father served in WW II, really?

Of all the things I've seen or heard about Obama on the internet, NONE has hit me like this!! How can we not believe some of the charges about citizenship, religion, etc., after hearing what he says on this?

Obama said his father served in WW II? Barack's father served in WW II?

He said so in a speech. Here is an 18 second video:

CNN News clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv4jnlkxOaw

Is he a compulsive liar? Were there no reporters who checked or double checked these statements and called the party on this? They did for everyone else. Why not him?

Like it or not, here are the facts:

Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Obama's father) Born: 4/4/36 Died: 11/24/82 at the age of 46. He was 5 years old when WW II started, and less than 9 1/2 yrs old when it ended.Lolo Soetoro (Obama's step father) Born: January 2,1935 Died: 3/2/87 at the age of 52.

He was 6 years old when WW II started, and 10 years old when it ended. He must have been the youngest Veteran in the war.

Watch the video. RIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH!!!

And the media doesn't say anything. If you doubt it, Google both of these guys.

It appears this guy doesn't know how to tell the truth -- or he doesn't care about telling the truth! -- or perhaps he doesn't know when he isn't telling the truth (which is also a very scary angle). Talk about STOLEN VALOR!!! Had this been Bush, the Media would still be on this!

The CNN clip of Obama is surprising. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this lie wasn’t uncovered, questioned or debated before the Nov. 2008 election.

Oh well, he must have just "forgotten" the facts, again.

Or perhaps he really doesn't even know the difference between truth and fabrication?

LET’S MAKE THIS GO VIRAL

Obama

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in  St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election: 

Number of States won by:          Obama: 19          McCain: 29 
Square miles of land won by:      Obama: 580,000    McCain: 2,427,000 
Population of counties won by:    Obama: 127 million  McCain: 143 million 
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:  Obama: 13.2
McCain: 2.1  

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was
Mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income
Tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy,
With some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached
The "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to thirty million criminal
Invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to theUSA  in fewer than five years.

Dig, Dig, Dig

An old man and woman were married for many years, even though they didn't like each other.

Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night.

The old man would shout, "When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!"

Neighbors feared him.

They believed he practiced magic because of the many strange occurrences that took place in their neighborhood.

The old man liked the fact that he was feared. To everyone's relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 98.
His wife had a closed casket at the funeral. 

After the burial, she went straight to the local bar and began to party as if there was no tomorrow.

Her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?"

The wife put down her drink and said, "Let him dig. I had him buried upside down. And I know he won't ask for directions."
