A case of… He said, he dead!
I was mistaken on how Geraldo, the only smart one on Fox News, put his statement until now.
NO Geraldo, Trayvon wearing a hoodie does not make him AS responsible as George Zimmerman for his death. Though Geraldo does have a point, the correct way to explain it would have been to say no matter how wrong, offensive, racist and stupid it may be for white people to be afraid of Hoodies, Burkas or Turbans, it is still a factor in our society. Much like way back in my youth we quickly learned that the one wearing the beads would get searched by police before the one in the tie?
Even if Zimmerman is arrested this will so the way of the Joe Horn no matter. Joe Horn who lived just a few short miles from here shot two unarmed blacks in the back from 10 feet away with a 12 gauge and he walked. No jail and a Grand Jury acquittal. But it also ruined life just as this will ruin George Zimmerman’s life. Not only will he have to be forever looking over his shoulder, forever keeping his head down, but every racist pig and rabid gun loon in America is going to saddle up to Zimmerman and dirty his name further.
In both these cases, and thousands more like them, I wonder how many people hearing about them arrive at the larger lesson? Knowing that in over 30 states now, we can lure any unarmed person we wish into our yards, and now even on the streets, and if if their are no witnesses, shoot them in the back. We have the Republican controlled Supreme Court and the NRA to thank. My suggestion is DON’T GO OUT ANYMORE.
