TRAYVON MARTIN: Detroit Protests...


Well it appears that the Trayvon Martin saga will continue for some time and has taken on a life of its own and this is before all the facts are in…people actually don’t want any facts; they have the story just where they want it and that is that.

I will maintain that Zimmermann should never have had a gun while patrolling for the Neighborhood Watch program. His job was to REPORT anything suspicious and that is all…this tragedy should have never happened!

Zimmermann will use the self-defense argument and the Florida “Stand Your Ground” law because supposedly he was attacked by Trayvon after confronting him because it now appears that Trayvon did react violently at what he perceived was a danger to his person … but Zimmermann will probably get off which will not sit well with the nation.

The Feds will try to make this into a hate crime but that will be a big stretch according to existing evidence and may actually garner a serious backlash. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and do what the law dictates and not grandstand in front of TV cameras. President Obama probably should have kept quiet or just acknowledge the tragedy.

I did find it interesting that Detroit residents decided to get out of the house and protest the Treyvon killing. On TV today, I saw high school students actually getting together to make their feelings known and a large group of Detroiters was shown protesting in downtown Detroit.

What struck me is what I have been talking about for some time now; Detroiters come out to protest a killing in Florida but no one protests nearly daily killings in Detroit of children and young adults.

I talked about the Detroit gas station shooting where a black customer was shot and killed by a Middle Eastern clerk; there are protesters still at the gas station, weeks after the shooting!

Trayvon was killed by a white/Latino person; am I missing something here?

Tonight’s news reported the finding of the bodies of two young black women in a shallow grave. They were abducted and killed by two black men trying to keep them from testifying against them for some crime they committed…I don’t think you will here a peep from the community.
