The Tale of Two Young Men and A Verdict
Asked about my assessment of the verdict:
I did watch the trial this month (having read a varied analyses throughout the year).
Too many deals were made around politics to publicize/present in court authentic and applicable information...a metaphor for this politicization is the intentionally discrepant pictures (George 27 pictured in his current age, while 17r old Trayvon's middle school pic was widely used giving a misperception of the relativity of both young men (27,17)). How about if they were pictured standing side by side.
Commentary of the current decadence of mainstream media: media chosen and used becomes their message to confuse...on purpose -malicious misuse of human intelligence, talents, voice.)
Another hushed but significant event is that the "Conciliation" money allocated in the first week by our Federal Department of Justice (from a civil rights fund started in the 60's) was given to Jess Jackson & Al Sharpton to fund the racial marches and protests that initially separated peeps into opposing camps and made a race issue out of something that never was a race issue. The Racially-motivated Marches and Protests were NOT in the ballpark of CONCILIATION. The Federal gov thus TARGETED this case as an "opportune" ELECTION YEAR race case. George Zimmerman is IN FACT A RACIAL MIX of Latino, white, black, and something else that I can't remember now. But, the race-enthusiasts called him a "White-Hispanic"...never heard that term used till last year.
Police records support that George's neighborhood was fraught with robberies. He was a legitimate member of the neighborhood watch program. He had a right and license to conceal carry...and likely would have himself been pummeled to death had he not been armed. His injuries support that Trayvon pinned him down, punched his nose, banged his head on the ground repeatedly and was much bigger, stronger than short George.
What no one has brought up is that George was just ten years older than Trayvon. Both males under 30. Trayvon was a really big guy who had history of drugs & school suspensions...and I worked with suspended kids in three high schools...past age 15 most are men-size in practice and function. Evidence that Trayvon initiated the actual confrontation and aggressive contact was clear. I do believe Trayvon used the racially loaded words his girlfriend repeated from her phone conversation with
Trayvon toward George...and having had ten years of experience with young men racially aroused and ready to confront, I believe Trayvon very likely did make some threatening comments directly to George...I have no reason not to believe his report, especially given the phone report from his girlfriend.
George responded in every way within FL law which is why the cops did not charge him...until the old-timer race-enthusiasts recognized this event as a useful political football (notoriety and new money in their pockets). And the police chief was so harassed by the race-enthusiasts that he had to leave his job...not a positive commentary on the level of pernicious attack levelled against the Sanford Police who were actually doing their job and following FL and local law.
Since both males were under 30, neither were likely to have achieved an expected adult brain development level giving fuller control of impulses cognitively, emotionally, hormonally. Trayvon was a really big guy who had history of drugs and school suspension...and I worked with a wide-range of suspended kids in two NY schools...past 16 most are most definitely men-size in many ways (I think TV was 6'2")...and stronger than they will be later past age 25.
I believe that actual justice was done by the jury...which surprises me because the jury was under immense social and media pressure to do otherwise. The judge was hard on the defense, and i think she was that way so she could not be accused of favoring one side...the defense. The jury's verdict was based on evidence, not moral relativism or generational grudges retained and politicized...and that gives me some hope for America's development beyond special interest groups that have been unfortunately pitted against each other through the subversive agenda to "transform" America since 2008. George Zimmerman was not a racist...he's a mixture of many races himself...he was watching his neighborhood as most young men do...especially one plagued with increases in criminal activity.
As I heard at a Christian Church this morning, Jesus drew in the sand as the Pharisees tried to "trap" & "trick" Him (and His unique "Christian" Golden Rule Message). The tricksters brought to Him a woman alleged to have engaged in adultery: "LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT SIN BE THE FIRST TO CAST a STONE."
Of course, every man departed...to mind his OWN business.
Good lesson.
