Really? Do the celebrities and others creating this lynch mob atmosphere even know what the word justice means? Celebrities are some of the main contributors to the hate and the anger and the death threats and the bounties on the head of a man who has not been charged with a crime and yet no one challenges their own obvious racism.
And there might just be a reason for their failure to do so. A reason that isn't based in racism or any of the other fabrications that those like Spike Lee and the rest are furthering. That reason is that Americans as a whole is absolutely terrified of anything to do with race or of possibly being called a racist.
There is a reason that this man hasn't been charged, Zimmerman obviously did not commit any crime. The police know it, the district attorney knows it and anyone with an ounce of sense knows it. Stand your ground or not, we as Americans have a right to protect ourselves against assaults by others.
This type of crap in the media and coming out of so called celebrities really sickens and angers me. This entire episode and the facts and the truth of what happened that night have been purposely lost in the rage of hyped racial politics and purported race hate, when in fact the real haters in this scenario and the real racist are in majority those pointing the accusing fingers.
Star erroneously linked Floridians to man who killed Trayvon Martin
MARCH 27--With Twitter and Facebook continuing to explode with posts
purporting to contain the address of George Zimmerman, property records
and interviews reveal that the home is actually the longtime residence
of a married Florida couple, both in their 70s, who have no connection
to the man who killed Trayvon Martin and are now living in fear due to
erroneous reports about their connection to the shooter.
The
mass dissemination of the address on Edgewater Circle in Sanford--the
Florida city where Martin was shot to death last month--took flight last
Friday when director
Spike Lee retweeted a tweet containing Zimmerman’s purported address to his 240,000 followers.
The original tweet
was sent to Lee (and numerous other celebrities like Will Smith, 50
Cent, and LeBron James) last Friday afternoon by Marcus Davonne Higgins,
a 33-year-old Los Angeles man who uses the online handle “maccapone.”
Higgins included the direction, “EVERYBODY REPOST THIS.”
Higgins, pictured at right,
first began disseminating
the Sanford address to his Twitter followers last Wednesday, including
the claim that Zimmerman “Like the fat punk he is, he still lives at
home with mommie & daddy.” In a
simultaneous post to his Facebook wall,
Higgins told his 4000 friends, “FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT & TOUCH
HIM.” He also claimed in another post that, “REAL TALK MY PEOPLE OUT
THERE IN FLORIDA JUST TOLD ME GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS NOT AT HIS HOUSE THEY
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.”
Higgins’s dissemination of Zimmerman’s purported Edgewater Circle
address was not, however, limited to cyberspace. At a protest rally last
Thursday in an L.A. park near his Crenshaw home,
Higgins held a sign containing Zimmerman’s name, address, and phone number.
