It all began a little over a year ago. George Zimmerman, a wannabe Policeman, was stalking Trayvon Martin. After Zimmerman called 911 (transcript - HERE)and was instructed to wait for the arrival of the real Police. Instead George said "he looks black" and then "a dark hoodie" and "he's got his hand in his waistband and he's a black male". When Trayvon Martin ran away from the stalking George Zimmerman, GZ told 911 "these assholes always get away". Then George Zimmerman took it upon himself to chase after Trayvon Martin.
When the "stalked" Trayvon "Stood his Ground" - George Zimmerman shot/killed Trayvon!
Back at that time the police lied to Trayvon Martin's mother and told her Zimmerman was "squeaky clean" and it was reported that George was Captain of the Neighborhood watch;
Both of those contentions were a lie!
A non white was killed by the son of a retired justice who was lighter skinned than the deceased. Everyone there in Sanford, with the authorities, except for Trayvon Martin's mother, wanted this to be the end of the story. Then a Petition was started by Trayvon Martin's mother. Here at DailyKos we got involved when it was only 25,000 signatures (see prior Diary - HERE). We helped get it to 2 million and the Police Chief was forced out of office and a proper investigation/ prosecution case began. But the authorities, deliberately or not; blew the case and George Zimmerman is now 'Scot Free'.
Trayvon Martin's Mother is asking that we sign her new Petition;
The Petition is at 130,000 signatures - seeking to be 150,000
Let's see if we can put this out on Social Networks and Make a Difference!
Marissa Alexander Shot a Wall under SYG & is doing 20 years
Zimmerman stalked Trayvon, a scuffled ensued and Zimmerman Killed Trayvon.
Marissa Alexander shot a wall standing her ground against abusive husband and she received 20 years in prison. TWENTY FUCKING YEARS - for putting a bullet in a wall (See my previous Diary - HERE).
Marissa's husband testified he is UNABLE to control his anger.
You can read this one for yourself (transcript - HERE), where Marissa's husband confessed he actually picked her up and threw her out of the house in previous arguments. That's a history undeniable and down right life threatening.
CBS News story on Marissa getting 20 years (here).
Trayvon Martin is a black youth shot and killed by a person who STALKED him. Trayvon stood his ground and died as a result. Marissa stood her ground, in her own house, shot a wall as a warning - and is doing 20 years.
Black Trayvon dead - black Marissa in Jail 20 years - Whites Feel REAL secure.
I'm just sayin.............................. IT SUCKS
PLEASE Sign Trayvon Martin's Mother's PETITION?
