Zimmerman Has Support From Racist Friends.
As students at The Ohio State University approached the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center Thursday morning, they were met by three simple words loaded with a malicious meaning: Long Live Zimmerman.
The vandalism is in reference to George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader responsible for the murder of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
Students immediately took to social media to express their anger, tweeting the university’s president and circulating the photo.
President Gordon Gee tweeted back stating, “Just learned of vandalism at our Hale Center. Deplorable act of intolerance– not who we are at Ohio State. Our Police are investigating.” He is expected to make an official statement about the incident Thursday afternoon.
The white spray paint has since been removed by a Student Life employee, but there are no suspects in the case.
Larry Williamson, director of the Hale Center, says they are working with University Police and are taking the necessary steps so that incidents like this never happen again.
“We want to be sure that these types of things don’t happen here at the Ohio State University,” Williamson said. “This is not the kind of climate that Ohio State is trying to have here at this university. The university prides itself in diversity and you have things like that that takes a step back.”
“We’re dealing with the situation with heightened security. We’re going try to make sure that we do everything possible that these types of things don’t happen.”
OSU students will meet at the Hale Center Thursday night to discuss the vandalism at their weekly Black Student Association meeting.

How Did Zimmerman, A Career Criminal Get A Gun Permit? Judge Daddy!
Obtained shocking court documents showing that Zimmerman has a long, checkered history of violence, including domestic disputes with a former fiancee who turned to the courts for help.
Zimmerman’s ex-fiancee, Veronica Zuazo of Orlando, petitioned an Orange County, Fla., court in 2005 for an injunction of protection, claiming that on at least three occasions Zimmerman’s unpredictable temper led to violent physical outbursts.
In one incident, Zuazo says Zimmerman was upset after she arrived home later than usual.
“He was sexually groping me and said he could because Iwas his woman,” she charged in a statement to the court.
“I told him no, to leave me alone. He picked me up and threw me on the bed.”
A frightened Zuazo says Zimmerman finally left after she smacked him.
And in July 2005, the thug was arrested on felony charges of resisting an officer with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer during an altercation at an Orlando bar popular with college students.
The charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor count of resisting an officer without violence, and Zimmerman served eight months community service.
But now he’s in even more trouble. On the night of Trayvon’s shooting, Zimmerman claimed he was on his way to the grocery store when he spotted the youth, who was wearing a “hoodie” sweatshirt. He called police, and despite being told to remain in his vehicle, he got out.

Zimmerman's Father Calls In Favor To Save Son From Arrest.
Everybody is wondering why George Zimmerman wasn't arrested? It is very clear that his father , the ex-judge called in a favor to the DA. It is the same old system in the south of whites protecting whites, when they kill a black male.
Trayvon Martin's parents want the U.S. Justice Department to investigate possible interference by a state attorney immediately after their son was killed.
Martin was shot as he was walking to his father's fiancee's house after buying some candy and iced tea. George Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense.
Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump wrote the DOJ a letter asking for them investigate how the shooting was handled. In the letter, Crump writes that lead homicide investigator Chris Serino filed an affidavit pushing for charges the night Martin was shot, but was overruled by the state's attorney's office.

The Black American Male Nightmare.
When the feminist poet Adrienne Rich died
this week, the obituary of one of the most influential female writers of the
last half-century described the goal of her life and her work as “the creation
of a society without domination.”

The rest of the week’s news illustrated how far we have to go in achieving
such a dream. In Florida, when newly-released
video showed that George Zimmerman was apparently unscathed after shooting
Trayvon Martin despite his claim of being injured while defending himself
against attack, the message was clear: whether their authority derives from a
gun or the color of their skin, men will defend their right to control people
they have traditionally dominated, even if they have to kill them in cold
blood.
On the video, Zimmerman’s casual ease with the police who failed to arrest
him conveyed an equally brutal message: when the effort to maintain domination
ends in the murder of a youth armed only with a bag of Skittles, those in power
will protect their own kind instead of holding them accountable
In New York, when a jury proved unable to reach a guilty verdict on rape
charges against a drunken cop who committed a brutal sexual attack on a young
woman while threatening to shoot her in the face if she cried out or opened her
eyes, a comparable message was clear: men with badges and guns have the right to
take what they want from women, no matter what the circumstances.

The Fear Of A Black Planet, What Got Trayvon Killed.

This story, with its stench of racial bias, is not a matter of black versus
white. It isn’t symbolized by nooses, clubs, or snarling dogs. It isn’t a
modern-day Emmitt Till. Today the pain of racism flares up and then subsides; it
throbs like a dull ache and often its source can be hard to locate. On good
days, it even feels like it has gone away.
So it’s not really surprising that something as banal as a hoodie, which
Martin was wearing when he was killed, has become symboli of Zimmerman’s presumed prejudice,
ignorance, and animus. When Zimmerman described Martin as “suspicious” to a 911
operator, it begged the question: What, precisely, made him suspect? Since there
was no indication from the call that Martin’s actions were untoward, logic
turned to his mere presence. He was a black man in jeans and … a
hoodie.
Such a stupid, innocuous garment.
It has never had the fear factor of black leather or steel-toe boots.
Swaggering rappers and tough guys were never able to take full ownership of
hoodies; they weren’t able to exploit them for their own purposes like baggy
jeans or oversized white t-shirts. There was too much that was functional,
cuddly, and universal about hoodies for them to be fully co-opted. Too broad a
population embraced them. They remained rooted in weekend athleticism and
collegiate sports, the Gap and Old Navy. Suburban dads wear them when they mow
their lawn. Soccer moms
wear them to soccer games. Channel surfers pull them on for pizza and
beers.

Sanford Police Department Only Protect And Serve Whites .
The attorney for the parents of Trayvon Martin said the Sanford Police Department is blaming the victim in the case by leaking information beneficial to George Zimmerman and by "correcting" the testimony of witnesses whose stories diverged from the shooter's claims of self-defense.
A police report was released Monday stating that, according to Zimmerman, Martin had attacked and punched the neighborhood watch volunteer on February 26. The Associated Press also reported that Martin had been suspended from school after an empty plastic baggie containing traces of marijuana was found in his book bag. The AP also said Martin had no juvenile offender record.
Sanford city manager Norton Bonaparte said the information about Martin's school suspension should not have been released, and wants whoever leaked it fired.
Appearing on "CBS This Morning," Martin family lawyer Ben Crump said that the police are "trying to attack his reputation, blame the victim, and that has been the pattern of the Sanford Police Department.
"There is no relevance any of this has on what happened on February 26," Crump told Charlie Rose. "The only thing that matters on February 26 is George Zimmerman disobeyed the police and got out of his car and pursued and stalked Trayvon Martin to cause this fatal encounter.
"Charlie, all you need to do is listen to the tape," Crump continued. "Zimmerman did not know Trayvon Martin before this tape. He said why he was suspicious and he says why he ran after Trayvon Martin. And if the police want to leak information, why don't they leak the witnesses who say they saw him pursuing Trayvon?
"But they have only [done] things that are beneficial to Mr. Zimmerman's claim of self-defense, and the only reason we can think [why is] that, from day one, they made a decision they were not going to arrest George Zimmerman. And each day goes by, the whole world is saying, 'You at least got to arrest this guy.'"

This Is How White America Wants You To See All Young Black Males

Aside from my own piece questioning whether 17-year-old Trayvon Martin stole the Skittles he reportedly had in his possession when he was killed, the most accurate journalism I’ve found that gives us a complete representation of who Martin was is titled “Was Trayvon Martin a Drug Dealer?” It’s written by Dan Linehan. An excerpt’s below:
Linehan’s discourse shows how the young, black male was pro black ghetto culture (which translates to anti white), had riddled his body with tattoos, was (as noted in the headline) suspended from school in Miami and visisting his dad in Sanford and details some of the violence toward authority in his past.The media narrative being sold is quite clear, Trayvon Martin is the innocent victim here and George Zimmerman is a horrible bigot who attacked the young man for doing nothing more than buying skittles while being black. Even Barack Obama seems to accept the fresh-faced innocence of Trayvon, stating, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.” More on that later.It’s becoming more and more clear however that the innocent appearance the mainstream media is so desperate to apply to Trayvon isn’t at all accurate. The picture we’re used to seeing to represent Trayvon Martin appears to be a far cry from how he actually looked once he was a few years older.
When you connect all the dots, not only had he probably stolen the Skittles, he may actually have become threatening to Zimmerman – who, yes, is responsible for getting the ball rolling.
Um… okay… this is so sad. First of all Trayvon Martin was suspended from school for 5 days and this was because he had too many late days on his record. Furthermore, having tattoos on his body does not mean he is a bad person, and just because he may have smoked weed himself does not mean the head was a drug dealer. Please… do not try to taint the image of this boy. Yes it is true the media is trying to paint him as an angel and Zimmerman as a devil but that is not his family’s fault. Let’s focus on the facts of that night. Trayvon did not deserve to be followed, stalked, and killed. & how in the world could you draw the conclusion that he stole the skittles, because he has tattoos and maybe smoked weed? Jesus… please don’t do this to the dead. Trayvon Martin may not have been an angel, but whose record really is squeaky clean?

Now It Was Trayvon Martin Behavior That Got Him Killed, Nigga Please!
Now White America press is coming to the aid of Zimmerman. They are releasing everything they can in order to paint Trayvon as an " out of control nigga boy". From his twitter name was 'no limit nigga", he was a pot smoker and got in a fight with the bus driver.
so this new information, none which Zimmerman had, give him grounds to kill an unarmed teen?
A family spokesman says slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was suspended from school last month for having a baggie that contained marijuana residue in his book bag.
Spokesman Ryan Julison says Martin's parents believe the suspension has nothing to do with his killing Feb. 26 by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. Zimmerman has not been charged and claims self-defense.
The 17-year-old Martin was visiting the central Florida town of Sanford while he was suspended by Miami-Dade schools. He was unarmed.
His killing has ignited racial tensions. Martin was black; Zimmerman's father is white and his mother Hispanic.
Also Monday, state Department of Juvenile Justice confirmed that Martin does not have a juvenile offender record. The information came after a public records request by The Associated Press.

George Zimmerman Offered The Same Justice He Gave Trayvon.
Yesterday afternoon at a press conference, the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense circulated a “wanted dead or alive” poster for George Zimmerman for shooting to death a Florida teenager four weeks ago.
Zimmerman, a self-proclaimed neighborhood watch captain said he accosted what he alleges was a suspicious looking black male walking through his neighborhood. He further contends the man punched him, and bloodied his nose, so Zimmerman fired a gun shot striking the man in the chest. The “man” was 17 year old Trayvon Martin, who would lie in the county morgue three days before police alerted his parents of their child’s death.
Minister Mikhail Muhummud led the press conference, calling for the firing of Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, the arrest of George Zimmerman and some involvement from President Obama. Muhummud stated he is the southern regional director for the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense located in Jacksonville, Florida. While Minister Muhummud fired off a list of demands and expressed outrage over the handling of the shooting and subsequent investigation; a member of the group passed flyers to about 100 people who showed up for the press conference. Muhummud told the group he was not concerned with rumors of death threats to George Zimmerman, “He should be afraid for his life…”

Black Teen Begs For His Life
Police have released audio 911 tapes in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teenager allegedly killed by a neighborhood watch captain while walking home from a store.
In eight chilling recordings, made the night of February 26, listeners can hear the frightened voices of neighbors calling to report screams for help, gunfire and then that someone was dead.
In perhaps the most disturbing of the recordings, a frightened voice cries out for help and pleads "No! No!" and then continues to wail.
And for the first time, we hear the voice of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who admitted to police that he shot Martin, who was walking home from a convenience store to his father's home in the gated community. Zimmerman has not been arrested or charged in the shooting.
