<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\u00a0Let\u2019s Move on\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 I \u2018m\u00a0Tired of all this\u00a0Talk about a Racially Motivated Crime!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n By Scott Rohter, July 2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Trayvon Martin was just a poor black teenager from a broken home who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that is not why he got shot. It is only why he got followed. It is only why his activity was suspected by the community watch volunteer, George Zimmerman. All of the hoopla and the furor surrounding the not guilty verdict in this case which was delivered by\u00a0a jury of six women including one black woman is based on the false assumption that Trayvon Martin was shot dead because he was Black, but that is not the truth. Trayvon Martin may have been followed because he was Black, or because he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he was not shot because he was Black.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Trayvon Martin was not shot dead\u00a0because he was Black as some people would\u00a0like\u00a0you to believe,\u00a0or because he wore a hoodie, or even because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.\u00a0 He was shot because he made\u00a0a bad decision to escalate his confrontation with George Zimmerman on that fateful night. That is what the only eyewitness said. He said he saw Trayvon Martin on top of George Zimmerman straddling him and repeatedly punching him, and bashing his head into the concrete sidewalk. That is what the photos of the back of Zimmerman\u2019s head revealed.\u00a0There was even police testimony at the trial to the effect that the back of George Zimmerman\u2019s clothing looked like he had been laying on the ground. All of this testimony would\u00a0lend credence to the fact that it was actually George Zimmerman\u2019s voice that was heard in that phone call screaming for help not Trayvon Martin\u2019s voice as his mother claimed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I am so sick of people including the President of the United States trying to\u00a0turn\u00a0this justifyable homocide\u00a0into some kind of a racially motivated\u00a0crime.. Why can\u2019t people simply tell the truth\u00a0and believe the truth? Why can’t\u00a0selfish people stop trying to pimp this story for their own\u00a0selfish purposes like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.\u00a0National Public Radio and the BBC are doing exactly the same thing, and now the NAACP and the Department of Justice are jumping on board too.\u00a0Why do these organizations\u00a0have to keep trying to make something out of this story that it really isn\u2019t, and trying to make this purely self-defensive shooting into a racially\u00a0 motivated\u00a0crime when it\u00a0was not?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n T<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span>rayvon Martin was shot dead because he chose to make the wrong decision\u00a0to beat the crap out of George Zimmerman instead of simply answering his questions… a man he believed was a white guy following him, and wanting to know what he was doing in\u00a0the neighborhood.<\/strong> Nobody’s civil rights\u00a0were violated by George Zimmerman\u00a0because he\u00a0merely followed someone who happened to be Black.\u00a0 There is no reasonable court in the land that would find\u00a0George Zimmerman guilty of violating Trayvon Martin’s civil rights when in fact it was Trayvon Martin who was actually beating the crap out of\u00a0George Zimmerman\u00a0for no\u00a0apparent reason other than that he didnt like\u00a0answering his questions.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Did the body of Trayvon Martin show any evidence of a broken nose or scars on the back of his head? Well if it did no one has ever mentioned it yet. But it is not hard to imagine that a seventeen year old Black kid\u00a0from a broken home would have a bad attitude and an anger management problem. It is not hard to imagine that a young Black man would have a chip on his shoulder especially if he thought that some white guy was following him demanding to know what he was doing in his neighborhood. Trayvon should have just answered his questions and showed him some respect, and he would still be alive today.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The NAACP is leading a nationwide effort to have George Zimmerman re-tried on Federal Civil Rights charges, but someone from the Black Panther Party is probably going to try to kill him first before the Department of Justice completes its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Trayvon Martin shooting. It seems to me that some people don\u2019t want justice. They would rather have George Zimmerman\u2019s head on a stick. The trial is over and the verdict is in. Can we just move on now, or won’t the racist NAACP and their friends in the liberal media let us?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[20,1],"tags":[385,386,388,387],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2840"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2840"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2898,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2840\/revisions\/2898"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>The NAACP is leading a nationwide effort to have George Zimmerman re-tried on Federal Civil Rights charges. Eric Holder’s Justice Department has\u00a0all men on deck looking for\u00a0something else they can nab George Zimmerman on, \u00a0but someone from the Black Panther Party is probably going to try to kill him first before the D.O.J. completes its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. And that\u00a0will be just a little bit easier now\u00a0because Eric Holder has decided not to let poor George have his gun back. It seems to me that some people don\u2019t want justice in this case\u2026 They would rather have George Zimmerman\u2019s head on a stick or buried six feet under the ground. And they would like\u00a0to make Trayvon Martin into some kind of a national hero\u00a0which he obviously wasn\u2019t. The lawyer for the family of Trayvon Martin wants to\u00a0elevate their deceased son into a national icon on the same\u00a0level with Martin Luther King Jr. or J. Medgar Evars,\u00a0 neither of whom Trayvon Martin was\u2026 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Trayvon Martin was shot because he made the wrong decision. Trayvon Martin was shot because he decided to start a fight with George Zimmerman instead of\u00a0simply\u00a0answering his questions. Trayon Martin decided to cop an\u00a0attitude with the community watch volunteer who merely wanted to know what he was doing in his neighborhood. That resulted in a fight in which Trayvon was the aggressor.\u00a0Trayvon decided to challenge\u00a0George Zimmerman instead of looking for a way to amicably satisfy Zimmerman’s concerns.\u00a0Then Trayvon Martin decided to strike the first blow. But one blow wasn\u2019t enough for Trayvon. One blow led to another, and another, and another. He got on top of George Zimmerman and repeatedly punched him and pounded his head into the concrete sidewalk until George Zimmerman finally took out his gun and shot Trayvon Martin dead at point blank range because George Zimmerman reasonably feared for his life\u2026 That is what the facts proved, and that is what the jury decided after listening to all of the evidence. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Admittedly in hindsight George Zimmerman made a bad decision to follow Trayvon Martin on that fateful night, but he had a right to follow him. It may not have been the best decision he ever made in his life, but he didn\u2019t do anything wrong in following him\u2026 There is a difference you know in just making a bad decision and in doing something wrong\u2026 When Trayvon Martin made\u00a0a bad decision to start a fight with George Zimmerman it was the wrong decision\u2026 That is the difference. So it doesn\u2019t really matter what George Zimmerman did before that moment when he began to fear for his life. Nothing that George Zimmerman did\u00a0ever gave Trayvon Martin’s the right to beat the\u00a0pulp out of him. It doesn\u2019t matter\u00a0whether\u00a0Zimmerman heeded the 911 operator\u2019s advice to stay in his car or not. It doesn\u2019t matter that he decided to follow Trayvon Martin. That is not why Trayvon Martin\u00a0got shot\u2026 He was not shot in the back fleeing or running away from\u00a0 Zimmerman. He was shot in the chest at point blank range while he was beating George Zimmerman\u2019s head into the ground. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>I have not commented on this case until now\u00a0frankly because unlike many others I knew that it was none of my\u00a0business, but now the jury has heard all the evidence and rendered a verdict in the case, and now it is my business. I am\u00a0fed up with all of the manipulation of the circumstances surrounding this case in order to try to make it appear\u00a0like\u00a0it was\u00a0some kind of a racially motivated crime when it was not, or to try make George Zimmerman guilty of murder when he is not, or to try to make Trayvon Martin into some kind of a national hero when he is definitely not. I am sorry that the mother and the father of this young man had to lose their son. Perhaps if they had remained together and taught their son how to exercise better judgement then he would not have chosen to\u00a0start a fight with George Zimmerman on that fateful night and he would still be alive today\u2026\u00a0\u00a0But that is not George Zimmerman’s\u00a0fault.\u00a0 All of their feelings\u00a0of guilt, or of what they could have done differently to prevent their son’s unfortunate demise\u00a0will not bring back their dead son.. And they should not take out their own guilt\u00a0on another innocent man, regardless of what his race happens to be. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Perhaps the mother and father of Trayvon Martin should be on trial for parental neglect instead of putting George Zimmerman on trial for shooting\u00a0his assailant in self defense. Maybe the parents of the deceased\u00a0seventeen year old\u00a0boy\u00a0should look inward instead of outward for the actual causes of their son’s death instead of trying to blame it on someone else. Certainly Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton should be held accountable for falsely claiming that this was a racially motivated crime when in fact it wasn’t,\u00a0and for suggesting\u00a0that the justice system\u00a0has somehow been unfair\u00a0to African-Americans again. National Public Radio and the BBC should\u00a0be compelled to\u00a0answer for their recklessness in turning the trial of George Zimmerman into a\u00a0world wide\u00a0media event,\u00a0and some kind of a\u00a0public circus in order to stir up racial divisions in our country.\u00a0The NAACP\u00a0should be investigated for\u00a0whipping up the furor over the verdict\u00a0and trying to make\u00a0the\u00a0Zimmerman trial\u00a0into a white versus black issue in order to\u00a0keep\u00a0their name\u00a0in front of the public. Finally the President of the United States should keep his two cents out of this. He has absolutely no business commenting on a purely local law enforcement matter. Everybody should just stop trying to further punish George Zimmerman who has already suffered enough for his fateful decision that night to\u00a0follow Trayvon Martin and\u00a0after being pushed to the ground and repeatedly punched, to finally pull out his gun and shoot\u00a0his assailant\u00a0in order to save his own life.\u00a0Nothing that George Zimmerman did ever gave Trayvon Martin the right to throw the first punch or to knock\u00a0him to the ground and begin pummeling him. All of Trayvon Martin’s bravado ended in his death. Enough is enough already.
