The vultures circle Trayvon Martin

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
"In ways I have not seen in my forty-one years on this earth, this case -- or as it should be properly put -- the out-of-context reaction to this case has been perhaps the single most racially divisive event of my lifetime. ...More than the O.J. Simpson verdict, more than the Rodney King case, more than any other incident I can call to memory -- the drummed-up reaction -- as was on display by the sandwich ladies -- made multiple customers in the Atlanta airport's Charley's cafe (in the B terminal) physically uneasy.


George Zimmerman and the Hate Crime statute  "Furthermore, judging from their past actions and statements, the President and the Attorney General will be open to prosecuting Zimmerman. If they nonetheless decline, Zimmerman's innocence will be evident, and we will also know the names of those who turned a teenager's death into a circus. "

Boortz: "If creepers Sharpton and Jackson were really serious..." "… those two race whores would pay as much attention to the culture of urban black violence as they are to this case in Sanford, Florida." 
 Boortz also asks: Why hasn't Moonpie Muhammad been arrested?  
"Florida Code 788.01." 
Black Panther leader tells CNN's Anderson Cooper he doesn't follow "white man law," disavows federal and state law.
Cooper interviews Muhammad
This provision of the Florida criminal code makes it a felony to “by threat, confining or abducting, or imprisoning another person against his will” in an attempt to terrorize that person."....
 "Florida Code 777.04."
This one deals with soliciting someone to violate the law. “A person who solicits another to commit an offense prohibited by law and in the course of such solicitation commands, encourages, hires, or requests another person to engage in specific conduct which would constitute such offense or an attempt to commit such offense commits the offence of criminal solicitation.”

 "By posting a “wanted dead or alive” poster, and by exhorting people to “capture” Zimmerman and deliver him to Moonpie’s gang, Moonpie* has violated this section of Florida law."
*"Michael Muhammad Knight (born 1977) is an American Muslim novelist, journalist, and performance artist. His writings are popular among American Muslim youth. The San Francisco Chronicle described him as "one of the most necessary and, paradoxically enough, hopeful writers of Barack Obama's America."....
