George Zimmerman: Armed Neo-Nazis swarm Sanford, Florida



Deja vu all over again. We have made progress. Oh! Really! Presence of Neo-Nazis reveals that Zimmerman has friends who have come out in the open. It is becoming a sad and very precarious situation. Is this the type of U.S who wants to spread democracy and human rights in the world? If this is democracy then please U.S. spare the world from it.

Read the story here.

Update: Blacks targeted in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Three killed and two wounded. What the hell is going on. Neo-Nazis all over the place? Read the story here.

George Zimmerman’s lawyers propose a bizarre defence

Now Zimmerman’s lawyers are claiming that Trayvon Martin shook Zimmerman’s head so hard that he got shaken -baby syndrome and as a result of that he didn’t know what he was doing when he shot the teenager. A 28 years old man, 180lb, given shaken baby syndrome by 150lb teenager who was armed with skittles and ice tea?

Rev Al Sharpton of MSNB has a great piece on it.


My readers may wonder why I have so much interest in this story. A few years ago I vacationed in St. Petersburg Beach. What I saw truly shook me up. There is a sizable African-American population in surrounding cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg. But there was not a single African American in the hotel I was staying in. None in their restaurant. None in other restaurants I visited. None on the beaches. After a few days I saw one African American in the yard of the hotel doing some cleaning and janitorial work. He was exceptionally quiet, you would think he never talked.

I am very curious by nature so one day I approached him and engaged him in a conversation. He turned out to be a very bright man. I asked why he was so quiet and minding his own business all the time. He told me he was happy that way as it keeps him out of trouble and when he goes home he has a good time with his family.

I was shocked by the situation. I can fully understand now how a red-neck can kill a black teenager and walk away free in that state.

This must not happen in this day and age but the Southern U.S has a long way to go yet. I will never forget remarks by a taxi driver. I asked him how come, despite a sizable African population, you hardly see any African- Americans in the St. Petersburg Beach area. His response was “we keep them in their place” -in other words segregation. It really shocked me. I hope the situation has improved since my visit a decade plus ago.

Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh on Trayvon Martin's murder

Rush Limbaugh:


Bill O'Reilly:

I believe these two bastards should be arrested too. They're spreading too much hatred. Is it possible that this hate-mongering is resulting into some of the hate crimes?

Mike Huckabee gone Cuckoo-bee



Once in a while I watch Mike Huckabee because he has interesting guests and sometimes good discussions.

However, last Saturday night Mike Huckabee turned into Mic Cucko-bee. He started off invoking Martin Luther King and human rights, which sounded good, and then brought in the discussion of the recent murder of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman.

Huckabee accussed Reverend Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson of seeking publicity for themselves, and saying that the demonstrations served no purpose whatsoever.

In Huckabee's view, that's why Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the demonstrators are wrong. According to Huckabee, let the investigation take its course, and find out what really happened.

That is absolutely BS. How many times are young African-Americans murdered by white racists - especially in the southern United States - and walk away from such murders with police ("investigators") complicit.

That is why these demonstrations are extremely crucial to bring attention to this horrible crime. I understand these demonstrations have now become international, and people in London have demonstrated in front of the US embassy in support of Trayvon Martin's family.

George Zimmerman continues to run free, and the only way he can be made accountable is more and more pressure put on local authorities through such demonstrations and through the involvement of the US Congress.

Huckabee has a lot of learning to do. He comes from Arkansas, he should know better.

Trayvon Martin murder by George Zimmerman

This is one of the saddest stories. Poor young man was shot dead because he was black. I have no doubt about Zimmerman’s motives – he is a racist bastard and so are police officers who let him walk free. It is not for long though.



Read more here.

The other sad story came out of France where a Neo-Nazi type fired near a synagogue and killed the Rabbi and two other worshipers. I hope they catch the bastard soon. Read more here.
