More Zimmerman Trial updates

Prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel, speaking to Piers Morgan on CNN last night, explained that George Zimmerman had misunderstood the beating he was receiving from Trayvon Martin, and so had the jury in his trial. Zimmerman was not facing a potentially life-threatening "bashing," but simply a "whoop-ass." 

They don't understand, they understand, "Oh, he would just bash, or was kill." When somebody bash somebody, like, blood people, trust me, in the area I live, that's not bashing. That's just called "whoop-ass." You just got your ass whooped. That's what it is.
It was Zimmerman's own fault for not understanding the cultural context in which he was being attacked.
Morgan tried to save Jeantel's statement by asking her whether Martin would have "whooped ass" in self-defense. But the damage was done. For a split second, the camera caught a member of the audience reacting in shock, her jaw dropping at Jeantel's admission--and her apparent expectation that Zimmerman should have understood the supposed cultural practice of "whoop-ass," rather than acting to protect his own life.

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer sent a letter Monday to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder supporting the Justice Department decision to review the case to determine whether Martin's civil rights were violated.

"I respect the fact that the jury has spoken ... but I don't think this should be the last word," Boxer wrote in the letter.

Well I have to question that statement.

If Senator Boxer really "respected" the jury's decision she would not be supporting the Attorney General further investigating or charging Zimmerman.

But, this is why we have the jury system folks.

The question before them is always the same:
Did this person commit this crime and has the state proven this beyond a reasonable doubt?

A jury of 6 women thought not in the case of George Zimmerman.
As did the former police chief of Sanford, FL who resigned due to, what he called, "outside pressure".
He didn't believe that a "crime" had been committed in the first place, which is what led to his resignation.

In further not really surprising news, a protest/rally in Los Angeles turned ugly when roughly 100 people splintered from the group and ransacked a Wal Mart.

Remember way back to yesterday when I wrote a personal note to a columnist at Salon.com criticizing his views about what the results of the trial say about the South?

Remember how I said that the south that he was writing about only exists in the minds of his college professors?

Anthea Butler, an Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Graduate Chair in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, writes in Religious Dispatches magazine that she has decided that the acquittal of George Zimmerman means that America’s God is a white racist. Butler wrote:

Another left wing writer refers to Trayvon Martin's death and the acquittal of George Zimmerman as a "return to the era of lynching".

Didn't I just make that lynching commit yesterday?
I must've heard that somewhere but I don't remember where.

Hmmmm....
Anyhoo, the writer, Andrew Sullivan uses many falsehoods and half truths to support his lynching theory.
It's worth a read.

Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) stated that the result of the George Zimmerman trial would “justify the stalking and killing of innocent black boys and deny them any avenue of self-defense.”

On MSNBC in March, Lewis compared Trayvon Martin’s death with the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till, who was kidnapped, beaten, and shot in the head by two white men after he reportedly flirted with a white cashier at a grocery store.

On Monday, the Associated Press compared the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial to the expulsion of Jackie Robinson from Sanford, Florida some 70 years ago.
