If it don’t fit, you must acquit, has been replaced
with stand your ground. The former isn’t
as catchy, but you get the drift.
Both cases came down to the interpretation of law and
lack of evidence. Both left you feeling
ole dude got away with murder. Both also
left a foul taste after everything was said and done. The taste never went
away.
Both cases concluded with a collective yell – “We
gonna get ya sucker!”
In other words, it’s not over yet. You can feel the blood oozing through the
veins of people Hell bent of finding Zimmerman guilty of something – anything. If not for the murder of Trayvon Martin, dude
must pay.
Sadly, in the cases of both Orange Juice and Zimmy,
you only have to wait a few days for them to expose their naked behinds and
dirty laundry. You would think Zimmerman
would hide under a rock and shout “Thank ya Jesus” until his wheelchair is too
rusty to move, but nope.
Instead of finding religion, Zimmerman has been
accused of threatening his estranged wife and her father with a gun. Days earlier, Shellie Zimmerman had filed for
divorce.
George got off for standing his ground, but Shellie is
not standing by her man.
"He's in his car and he continually has his hand
on his gun and he keeps saying 'step closer' and he's just threatening all of
us," Shellie Zimmerman said in a 911 call.
Shellie later said she never saw a gun, and no gun was
found. She says she won’t press charges,
but police aren’t ready to dismiss charges.
Police say video of the alleged dispute on Shellie’s damaged IPad could
determine if charges are filed.
Although Shellie and her father claim they saw no gun,
WKMG TV reports that Mar O’Mara, Zimmerman’s attorney, says Zimmerman had a gun
holstered to his body.
I question the judgment of carrying a gun after the
case. What’s the point? Does he want to prove a point, or to find someone else
to intimidate for waking while black?
It’s that type of poor judgment that led to the murder
of Trayvon. With people already itching for
a fight, why carry a gun? Why get stopped, on multiple occasions, for speeding?
Why destroy recoded evidence?
“He then accosted my father then took my iPad out of
my hands. He then smashed it and cut it with a pocketknife, and there is a Lake
Mary city worker across the street that I believe saw all of it," Shellie said
in her 911 call.
Shellie brings her own set of matching bags to the
party. On Aug. 28, she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor perjury and was sentenced
to one year of probation. She had been accused of lying about the couple's
financial situation when she testified at George Zimmerman's bond hearing in
June 2012.
This may be a marriage arranged by the birds of a
feather flocking together club. You
would think both would lay low and allow the smoke to settle instead of finding
their way back in the news. Go
hide. Take a vacation. Move to another state. Get plastic surgery, grow a mustache, become
an organic farmer, teach yoga, meet the Dali Lama and promote world peace. Do something different than carrying a gun
and starting a domestic dispute.
The other option is to end up like the Juice. Those crazy ways will catch up with you
sooner or later.
Isn’t that what insanity is - doing stupid things while
expecting a different result?
I forgot. That
doesn’t apply when you get away with murder.
No. It doesn't apply when you're white. Getting away with murder didn't keep O.J. out of prison. He ended up there anyway. He's lucky that he only did 9 years. And now he's out playing golf. I'm not saying that he should hide -- but damn. That's mighty bold behavior for a black man accused of murdering two white people.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Zimmerman doesn't have anything to worry about. He's not hiding because he knows black people aren't going to do a damn thing.
You know what's interesting? White people have done a great job of convincing the world that black people are so dangerous and that we are to be feared. But we don't have a history of killing white people or anybody else. White people have a history of killing us and everybody else. Historically, white people have been the most violent people on the planet.
Who have we ever killed except each other? Every group on this earth has in-fighting. But even when we kill each other, one of us is going to jail. But they don't, traditionally, lock white people us for killing us.
We've had our leaders murdered, our icons murdered, our kids murdered. Yet, we don't galvanize and go find the killer and punish them our way. We have to turn to the American criminal justice system, which is designed to destroy us in the first place.
When was the last time we held others account and brought justice to them for hurting one of us?
