The Fruit of Perdition

Trouble erupts in Oakland, California after the Zimmerman verdict

Predictably, after a jury acquitted George Zimmerman of all the charges related to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, trouble broke out across America.

Angry mobs took to the streets in various cities waving placards, shouting slogans, damaging property and vowing to avenge the death of Martin, a 17-year-old teenager who was shot to death by Zimmerman last year (February 26) during an altercation.

That event went largely unnoticed by the national media until the Justice Department, at the behest of Attorney General Eric Holder, decided to investigate it. 

Once the Justice Department got its hands on the case, the event was transformed from a deadly altercation between a confrontational hothead (Zimmerman) and an equally confrontational teenager (Martin) into a civil rights issue.

Zimmerman, the son of a white father and an Hispanic mother was reinvented by the national media into a "White Hispanic" super-racist who was accused of hunting down Martin and murdering him because he was black. 

Prosecutors leveled their charges against Zimmerman. The case eventually went to trial and Zimmerman was acquitted of all the charges after a jury wasn't convinced that the evidence presented by prosecutors proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman killed Martin out of racial malice. 

I truly believe that if Zimmerman had an Hispanic surname, this case probably never would have become known outside the state of Florida. This case had little to do with race and a lot to do with politics. 

I believe that this case was used by the Obama Administration for political purposes to deflect from Barack Obama's abysmal first term in the White House. Someone in the White House got the idea to exploit the Zimmerman-Martin affair by ginning it up as a racial confrontation. 

By doing so, the administration made Martin's death a campaign issue by claiming that those who sought to defeat Obama in last November's presidential election were racists just like George Zimmerman. 

The message was clear and designed to hang a guilt trip on anyone who didn't plan on voting for Obama. America was a nation of violent rednecks such as Zimmerman who hated minorities and didn't want a black man in the White House. If you didn't vote for Obama, you were a George Zimmerman.

That's bull. Anyone with a functional brain realizes how ridiculous that is. And anyone who willingly allowed themselves to be exploited by this wretched administration by embracing its detestable propaganda should move to a different country.

The fallout from the Zimmerman trial proves to be deadly. The jurors who acquitted Zimmerman will be threatened if their identities become known. Zimmerman may have been acquitted, but he'll be a marked man for the rest of his life. He'll need protection. And riots, violence, injury and death are now likely to occur throughout the nation. 

And there's already talk that the Justice Department, under the uber-corrupt Holder, may ignore the jury's decision and file new charges against Zimmerman. If that happens, that's frightening. That means that our system of justice--the greatest system in the world--could become like the justice systems in third world countries.

America, you are reaping what you have sown. Your leaders reflect your depravity; they are dishonest, immoral, murderous, power-hungry, greedy and consorts of demons. 

As for America's leaders, Jesus Christ said it best: "Woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep." (Luke 6:24-25)

Woe to them indeed.
