Inconvenient Facts About the Trayvon Martin - George Zimmerman Incident
Is there anyplace safe enough, or any cargo innocent enough, for a black man in this country? Martin was where he was supposed to be — in a gated community — carrying candy and a canned drink. (Charles M. Blow, NYT, 7/15/2013)

Liberals never let the facts get in the way with their narrative be it global warming (its actually getting cooler), aid to the poor (it's increased a zillion-fold), or  racist America (we have a black president). And so it is with George Zimmerman. 

And so Liberals ignore Zimmerman's unscripted response to the trap laid by cops testing his story by saying that the incident had been captured in its entirety on video. Zimmerman said: "oh, thank God." How do Liberals explain this spontaneous exculpation of possible guilt? Well, they pretend it didn't happen.

Eager to play the race angle, Liberals are embarrassed to learn that Zimmerman is Hispanic and so they invent the novel designation of "white Hispanic."

Eager to play the race angle, Liberals ignore that George Zimmerman took a black date to a school prom. 

Eager to double down on race, Liberals ignore that George Zimmerman mentored black children. 

Eager to paint Zimmerman as a vigilante, they ignore the fact that his neighborhood had been plagued by crime committed by black youths.

Eager to blame Zimmerman, they do not talk about the tragic fact that Martin - looking for his father's unit and unfamiliar with the neighborhood - was walking around randomly looking in windows. 

Unable to explain the fact that Zimmerman's wounds fit exactly with the story that he told police of Martin as the aggressor, punching him in the face and banging his head on the sidewalk, Liberals ignore them. Travyon Martin is dead and that is a tragedy. But because he is dead, no one wants to talk about the role that he played in his own tragic death. 

Unable to explain the facts, Liberals resort to the Skittles Defense (see Blow above). Martin was a candy-bearing child and hence an innocent.


Despicable Him
Race-baiting carnival barker Rev. Al Sharpton is once again ginning up the race wars. (By the way, when WAS the last time that the holy Rev. presided over Sunday service?) The Obama adviser seems to revel in the death of black youths...except when it is black-on-black violence (see Chicago, City of). Then he is strangely silent. 

The destruction and violence wrought by protesters is blood on his hands.
