Got No Dog in the Hunt

    Let me get this straight, somehow I’m to blame for what happened in Sanford Florida, the altercation, the shooting, the trial, the verdict… 

    It starts with a black youth (more like young man) walking through a Sanford FL. neighborhood when he noticed a Latin man keeping an eye on him (I don’t live in Sanford, I’m not a youth, Black or Latin… No Dog).  Then after speaking to a girl on the phone, the young man decided to confront the Latin man, suggested possibly because of some delusional homophobic rage (still no dog, I’m not black, Latin, a girl, young or homosexual).  Oblivious to situational awareness and his own limitations the Latin man was transformed from an observer to a victim of a homophobic beating (a hate crime perpetrated by the youth, still not me).  During the beating the Latin man draws a gun and shoots the young black man before the police arrive, when the police do arrive they look over the area, take statements from witnesses and judge it to be a case of self-defense (I didn’t strike anybody, draw a gun, witness the altercation, take or make any statements… my dog is still on the front porch).

    That should have been the end of the story… a sound bite on the local evening news and a few paragraphs in the local morning paper but that’s it as sad as it may be, after all this is a daily, even an hourly occurrence in a city like Chicago.  But that wasn’t the end of it, for some reason this story had legs; the story began to spread and pick up momentum, mostly because of the Latin man’s last name, Zimmerman… The first reports I had heard were that a “Black child had been gunned down by a white man in small Florida town”.  The story traveled all the way to the White House where it was picked up by Obama (another crises to exploit).  Obviously as the story traveled it wasn’t accompanied by any pictures, imagine the surprise when the black child turned out to be a young man that had instigated the physical violence and the white man was actually a Latin man that was getting a beating.  But it was already too late, Obama along with the national press had set the “Race Hatred” machine in motion the press began describing Mr. Zimmerman as the “White-Latino Shooter” as our… White-Black President adopted young Mr. Martin as one that could have been his own son.  (Although I write a few little stories, I’m not a member of the press, I’m not the White-Black President, I’m not a part of the race hatred machine… me and the dog are just sitting here, sun beaming down, another sip of iced tea).

    The race hatred machine is a hungry beast it wants blood, it wants vengeance.  Though the evidence did not warrant prosecution, political pressure was applied until charges were levied against an innocent man.  It took a special prosecutor to pursue this type of case, one not interested in fairness or justice… one was found, equally a special defense attorney would be needed, the co-counsels are Titan of the legal world.  Next a Judge was needed, the first Judge stepped aside due to conflict of interest, the second was removed by the District Court of Appeals upon defense team request, and the third Judge was able to stick with it.  Finally a jury was selected and the show trial was ready to commence.  (Me and the dog kind-a perked up… took note, the investigation had already pointed to self-defense… But I’m not a prosecutor, an attorney, a Judge or Juror, me and the dog… we’ll just see where it goes).

    The trial started and as expected it almost immediately began to collapse around the inept prosecutor’s head, even to the casual observer it was clear this case should have never been brought.  Instead of evidence the prosecution depended upon flights of fantasy, tugs at emotions, race batting and more than a bit of attempted evidence suppression.  The defense team had their way with the prosecutor’s witnesses and the evidence they presented was clear and concise, it was in the Jury’s hands and as expected they returned a verdict of not guilty.  It was the long way home but home just the same, the Jury confirmed what the initial police investigation found, it was a case of self-defense.  (All is right with the world, at least this little part. Maybe its time to call it a day, it’s been a long one…  Wait a minute what’s that rustling around out in the field, the dog just jumped up she sees something).

    The Race Hatred Machine is angry, it still wants vengeance, O’s not happy he wants a guilty verdict regardless of the evidence, regardless of the truth.  He’s unleashing his dog (Eric Holder), just make up a charge, O wants what O wants.  He’s deemed Mr. Zimmerman guilty much like the man that made the video they tried to blame the Benghazi attack on.  Obama wants Zimmerman in jail; it’s the only fitting outcome in the imaginary world he lives in.  O’s dog is giving speeches “We need to do away with stand your ground laws” even though this was not a case of “Stand Your Ground” Mr. Zimmerman was retreating to his vehicle when Mr. Martin pounced upon him. (Damn It! There she goes, the dogs after whatever’s in the field… I guess I do have a dog in the hunt).     

There were a few Y’s in the road that brought us here.

                Had Mr. Zimmerman actually took a "Stand Your Ground" posture he would have seen Mr. Martin approaching, he could have given a verbal warning to stop and then brandished his weapon if needed.  I’ve been drawn on four times, the trigger squeezed twice and hit once, trust me when I say, I became very courteous, very compliant and very humble looking down that little hole at the end of the gun.  Most likely Mr. Martin would have also.

                Mr. Martin was never taught the lesson to never pick a fight unless you’re willing to kill and/or willing to die… simple fact you never truly know how far your adversary is going to go.  I didn’t realize this myself until 1991, walking along the carnage on a little known highway in Northern Kuwait.

                As far as O and Mr. Holder… Deem someone guilty if you wish, it’s been done before… it will happen again I’m sure but those that deem guilt today can just as easily be deemed guilty tomorrow, it’s been done before… it will happen again, of this I’m very sure.

 

Obama, July 19, 2013:  “I think it would be useful for us to examine some state and local laws to see if it -- if they are designed in such a way that they may encourage the kinds of altercations and confrontations and tragedies that we saw in the Florida case, rather than defuse potential altercations."

As expected it always comes back to an attack on the law abiding citizens by our White-Black President…Another reason to keep them from being able to protect themselves.

 

I’ve got the answer… It’s not what you want to hear but it is the truth.

Quit undercutting family, faith and personal responsibility/accountability.
