In a disgusting attempt to fan the flames of black-American anger over the Zimmerman trial verdict, the Demagogue-in-Chief declared “…Trayvon…could have been me…”
AG Eric Holder is openly soliciting ideas on how to (federally) persecute Zimmerman.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are trying to organize national anger and protests.
Ironic, in matters racial, that self-described black leaders foment anger and resentment, where Martin Luther King would have stressed his Six Principles of Nonviolence.
Dr. King would have condemned their failure to work against the Triple Evils, and the very fact that many black ‘leaders’ are actually urging the use of Evils to retaliate.
By his life choices and his violent confrontation of Zimmerman, today’s ‘leaders’ ignore that Trayvon Martin violated all of Dr. King’s nonviolent principles, and tragedy ensued.
And, Obama et al fail to consider that, as well as a very pivotal fact…
Zimmerman pulled his gun at the end of the event, NOT AT THE BEGINNING!
Evidenced by how reluctantly that gun was finally used in self-defense…
…if young Trayvon hadn’t thrown a ‘sucker punch’ or followed up with a vicious physical assault, arguably, no tragic end to a life would have occurred! No violence, no tragedy.
(Or, sadly, as Fate would prove…know violence, know tragedy…)
Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, and the Media would better serve America – and all Americans – by following Dr. King’s teachings and philosophy…
…rather than DEFILING them.
I know this comment is coming in late….
Does anyone remember the movie ‘Wag the Dog’? It came out in 1997 and was about a Hollywood producer and a spin-doctor cooking up a war in order to cover up a presidential sex scandal. I believe it came out during the Clinton presidency (how apropos).
The fact that the president of the United States would get involved in something like the Trayvon Martin case reminds me of that movie. It tells me that the so-called “commander in chief” has nothing better to do than compare himself to a drugged out, no good, trouble maker like Trayvon. Zimmerman wasn’t arrested until the President and the Attorney General got involved. Why is that? Maybe because the detectives and police force involved thought the shooting was justified? Hmmm…naahh, that couldn’t be it. Could it?
I think Obama would have made one helluva police office. There are dirty cops all over the place. He would have fit in nicely.
