One Year On, Trayvon Gone

And so is much of the enthusiasm.  The administrator over at the Last Refuge (Conservative Tree House) gives a first-person account of the "rally" for Martin in NYC. 

It's worth the time to read it.

The Last Refuge has great information on the whole timeline if you go down the page.  I'm adding it to the sidebar.

The way this whole mess has played out really points up how the media works, how twisted it is.  Initially this appeared to be an Obama-friendly narrative.  An over-zealous, incompetent, gun-crazed white male chased down some innocent little black kid and callously shot him down.  While it quickly became apparent that it was more complex than that, the media continued to push supporting imagery and to do their best to keep the disinformation campaign going.

The bit-players in this bastardized daytime drama, Lawyer J. Nobel Daggett Crump and Martin's parents, saw a chance for a payday.  The parents are as stupid and despicable as the media and quickly exhausted any sympathy I might have felt over their loss.  To them, Trayvon alive was a problem, another violent, arrogant thug-wannabe auditioning for a spot at the gray-bar resort; Trayvon dead looked, for a while, like gold.  

Sadly, George Zimmerman will likely never get his life back.  I hope and pray that he is at least able to live in freedom.  Perhaps he will be able to re-locate and find a new direction in life.

Did Zimmerman do anything wrong?  Not morally.  He may have acted incautiously and gotten himself into a situation he did not, but, perhaps, could have anticipated.  But he was trying to look out for his neighbors and his neighborhood.  That's not a bad thing.  It's a shame that he has had to suffer for it, simply because the propaganda wing of the new fascist Amerika decided they needed some racism and anti-gun material in an election year.
