By An Old Friend

“Although he certainly did not intend to, the drugged and despondent 17-year-old who wandered through a failing Florida subdivision on a rainy February night ten years ago Saturday launched a new phase in the American civil rights movement.
“This was to be the Jacobin phase, the phase in which traditional civil rights standards such as equality before the law and innocent until proven guilty yielded to mob rule and race-based outcomes.
“Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin would not live to see this transition. The 28-year-old man who shot and killed Trayvon, George Zimmerman, has lived in the shadows of Jacobin justice every day of the last ten years, always with an eye out for assassins like the one who nearly killed him in 2015.
“On February 26, 2012, Trayvon had reason to be despondent. His school had suspended him for the third time that school year. His mother, Sybrina Fulton, had kicked him out of the house. His father, Tracy Martin, had abandoned the stepmother who helped raise Trayvon for a new girlfriend, Brandy Green. And, most immediately, ‘Diamond,’ the 16-year-old who had stolen his heart, was playing him for a fool.
“Exiled to Green’s townhouse in Sanford, 250 miles from his Miami home, Trayvon texted and called throughout that last day looking for reassurance from Diamond. He didn’t get it. Instead, she taunted him with tales of her ‘clubbing’ adventures the night before. In his final texts that rainy Sunday, Trayvon’s desperation showed through: ‘wat up with u man how u feel bout me cuz u not say cuz bout to hung up ur ass.’
“For George, meanwhile, it was just another Sunday. About 7 P.M. that evening, he headed out to Target to buy lunch meat for a week’s worth of sandwiches. While taking night classes in law enforcement, he worked during the day as a forensic review analyst at a fraud detection company.
“George had recently assumed the role of neighborhood watch captain. He stepped up to pacify his wife, Shellie. She had recently seen two young black men fleeing from the site of a neighbor’s home invasion, and one of the men had seen her. Shellie was scared to death and wanted to move. George talked her out of it.
“When he saw Trayvon lurking in the shadows, George called the non-emergency dispatcher, as he had been instructed to do:…”

A boring response,but the media jumped on blackie's side in every case since then--whether the black was guilty or not(mostly guilty.)
The actual crime by the black was ignored,the response to the black committing the crime,became the focus of the media.
That's it in a nutshell.

I hardly think Treyvons was despondent about anything. Seemed to be from all descriptions the typical young happy-go-lucky negro youth.
And it IS important to remember that the ten year period of negro unrest USA all began with this here Treyvons deciding to beat a man to DEATH FOR LOOKING AT HIM.
Indeed, these incidents that create negro outrage are based on martyrs whose acts and behavior were beyond any sort of civilized behavior. Martin, Brown, Floyd, Wright, etc.
