So, then, if a White male teen had turned and rushed George Zimmerman, after being encountered on the street late at night, acting suspiciously, and began bashing Zimmerman’s head into the pavement causing massive injuries, Obama believes that he would have been just fine and walked away from that situation without some sort of self-defense action on Zimmerman’s part?
To say nothing of its utter stupidity, this sort of statement was the precise reason why so many White Americans felt the need to come out in droves in the election last year. They heard this ridiculous rhetoric constantly from the podium of the president and its thinly-veiled rebukes and decided that they no longer wanted to blame for all of society’s ills.
This situation brought about so much vitriol in Leftists that even CNN was doctoring audio tapes of the original call by Zimmerman to the police to make it seem as if the neighborhood watch volunteer had immediately identified Martin as a Black man and that this was a pre-conceived racist reaction that led to his shooting.
In fact, other news outlets found themselves slavishly leaning toward blaming Whites so forcefully that they even took George Zimmerman (who was Hispanic) and began describing him as a White-Hispanic! No joke. In a search for the term, it was revealed that “White-Hispanic” had NEVER been used before in referencing a White or a Hispanic suspect in any case.
The point is, that this case stirred up a visceral response on the part of Leftists to the point where fact didn’t matter, truth was obscured, and reality was blurred. It IS a tragedy that this young man was killed. It is equally a tragedy that Zimmerman has to live the rest of his life knowing that he killed a 17-year-old boy because a dire situation was initiated on a darkened street that required him to make a life-altering decision based on his being pummeled mercilessly by an assailant.
The blame here is not on Martin, nor is it on Zimmerman, but on the parents of the 17-year-old who was out at night without supervision and obviously committing actions that could most likely only lead to injury or death, either for himself or someone else. If Zimmerman had not had a weapon, is it possible that he would be dead today and not Martin? The answer is, “Of course!”
Would that have been any easier for the country to accept…that a neighborhood watch volunteer was killed after having his head bashed into the pavement enough times to end his life by an unknown assailant?
There were no witnesses to the altercation and, most likely, Martin could have conceivably slipped away from that scene without detection. Yet, because of the phone call that Zimmerman made, and the fact that he was acting in the capacity of someone who was guarding the neighborhood against wrongdoing, he remained after the shooting to report to the police and subsequently face the fury and lies of the FNIC and even a horrible dismissal by the president himself.
Remember that the president imagined the anguish of the Martin family, but never once acknowledge how anguished Zimmerman must have felt knowing that he ended the life of a young man of 17. That told us everything we needed to know about how Obama viewed Zimmerman and others like him.

Get off the field you ignorant asshole
Those cleats ain’t bring that thug out of hell
are y’all serious.. This kid was killed, he didnt kill someone. So why is he a thug? Why is he going to Hell? I even read this article that was written, and can not believe how they word this story to amp you guys up. I’m not hear to argue, I litterally looked up a guy profile that went to highschool with me and he was a known racist back then.. I seen this page and decided to view this story.. Also to this person: “Ginger Skirlock Huber They won’t let players wear cleats honoring the 9/11 victims but this is ok? unbelievable!!”
are y’all serious.. This kid was killed, he didnt kill someone. So why is he a thug? Why is he going to Hell? I even read this article that was written, and can not believe how they word this story to amp you guys up (and can someone tell me the author of this story). 1st Example. ” After determining that the youth may have been up to no good because of his actions ” Ask yourself what was his actions? Walking with a Hoodie.. 2nd Example. “Zimmerman was told not to engage the suspect. Zimmerman tailed Martin at a safe distance, but was at one point surprised when the youth inexplicably turned and rushed him.” That is not even true, they have the phone records showing that The Teen/Thug was on the phone with his girl Friend that stated Zimmerman walked up to him. I’m not hear to argue, I litterally looked up a guy profile that went to highschool with me and he was a known racist back then.. I seen this page and decided to view this story.. Also to this person: ” Ginger Skirlock Huber They won’t let players wear cleats honoring the 9/11 victims but this is ok? unbelievable!! ” They just made this rule this year so players can wear cleats in honor of 911 victims. I am not writing to argue with anyone, I just wish you guys knew facts on the matter. SMH, I hope at least 1 person on here will read this and look up the facts on this case, its sad that some media outlet or maybe someone elses opinion can cause so many people to have such a hateful view on this. Last thing and i’m finished: Everyone that called this kid a thug or said that he is going to hell, please tell me what this teenager dis to be considered a thug.
Criminals honoring criminals, no honor
