The Trial That Never Should Have Happened

Well, the trial that never should have taken place is over. The original prosecutor said that there was no case so he was replaced by the governor. The police chief said that there was no case and he was fired.  Our president injected himself into the case with his famous "if I had a son" comment. The professional black victims Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson demanded justice for Trayvon not let's find out exactly what happened. The media from the start ran side by   side pictures of the two primaries. They just decided to us a picture of 12 year old Trayvon instead of a current one of the 17 year old football player who towered over Zimmerman a shorter. The media couldn't wait to call Zimmerman 'white'. and when they found out that he was Jewish and Peruvian they invented the racial category of, "White-Hispanic." Just out of curiosity will they hence forth refer to Obama as, "White-Black?
NBC Nightly News and the Today Show actually edited the 911 call that Zimmerman made to make it look like he was focused on Martin's race.  The New Black Panther party put a bounty on George Zimmerman's head apparently without consequence. Political and racial pressure was brought to bear so rather than risk being called racist we had a trial.  

What a pathetic trial it was. When the prosecution finally and mercifully rested the defense should have walked over and hugged them and rested because the prosecution put on one hell of a defense. Witness after prosecution witness planted reasonable doubt.  Even the lead detective on the case said that he believed Zimmerman's story.  By the end of the trial even the prosecution admitted that Trayvon was on top. The most unforgivable thing that the prosecution did at least in my opinion was when they put Trayvon's mom on the stand. Trayvon's mom and dad have been nothing but a class act during all of this and believe me that's not an easy thing to do. I've counseled eleven couples who have lost children to a murder and I myself sat through a trial surrounding my son's death. For that prosecutor to use her in his theater production was cruel. They had no evidence so they tried to distract the jury.  In his closing argument the prosecutor asked the jury to look into their hearts. He couldn't very well ask them to look at the facts so he wanted them to find Zimmerman guilty based on their feelings of sympathy for Trayvon's parents. That's shameful and embarrassing. The State Attorney Angela Corey tried to justify filing charges and bringing a case so that they  could, "put the facts out there." Was that code for if we don't waste everyone's time and money to put on a trial just to show Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and every other idiot out there that there's no evidence of a crime let alone a hate crime they'll never shut up. First, a prosecutor should never ever charge someone with a crime if they don't believe that they committed a crime. It's not their job to 'put the facts out there." Plus guess what, the same idiots are still talking out of their brainless he ads about no justice for this young black man. They want the DOJ to bring a civil rights hate crime case against Zimmerman. Given the corruption within Holder's DOJ it wouldn't surprise me if they did. 

Where's Al Shaprton, Jesse Jackson and Obama now urging calm?  There have already been scattered confirmed reports of attacks on whites in revenge but we haven't had the full scale violence that the New Black Panthers had threatened and bragged would happen. The lives of Trayvon's parents and the Zimmerman's have been changed forever and not for better. I will continue to pray for them all.
