A recent interview with the Gulfport Florida bus driver, John Moody, reveals he just didn’t want to intervene.
Moody reportedly retired after the school district launched an internal
investigation. The case was turned over to the state attorney’s office, but
prosecutors said Thursday Moody’s actions didn’t rise to the level of child
neglect.  (link)
Unlike the previously released bus footage, the race of the driver appears to play a larger role than initially evidenced.  The local police asked the District Attorney to file negligence charges against Mr. Moody.   The DA chose not to pursue charges.
Watch the video and you’ll see the issue:

What is really at play here, in addition to the 15-year-old thugs who beat the 13-year-old white boy, is *why* the bus driver did not engage to assist. One can only imagine how the BGI and NAACP would approach the issue if the driver were white, the thugs white, and the younger victim black.
In this case, according to the Sharpton, Jackson and Jealous contingent, this beatdown could not be considered racist because the victim was white.  And all media efforts are desperate now, framed to protect the bus driver from any consequences to his lack of action. (more…)

Good article at American Thinker – with one flaw. The last line.
Learning from Rachel Jeantel – To quote Nancy Pelosi, we can now see what’s in the Zimmerman-Martin case “without the fog of the controversy”. I think the biggest lesson to be learned was from Rachel Jeantel, a friend of Trayvon Martin that testified at the trial.

Rachel Jeantel has just had her 15 minutes. Predictable packaged responses full of defensive fury were covered very well by Thomas Lifson’s AT article. The left has exhausted her value by attacking and chiding all white people about the racist thoughts they have decided we are feeling. They skipped the fact-gathering and evidence stage and went right for the punishment in a fawning and self-righteous defense of someone not really under attack. I have to hand it to libs, they stand by their own and as long as anyone remembers the girl’s name, she will be one of their own. Their message regarding Ms. Jeantel is: (more…)

Meanwhile the man who organized the hoax has a full time TV show on MSNBC and continues his race-baiting enterprises……  Go look up the entire story of *how* Tawana Brawley was handled, and you’ll see how eerily similar it is to Rachel Jeantel….
New York Post – Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.
Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.
A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Brawley’s wages as a nurse there.
She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains defiantly unapologetic.
“It’s a long time coming,” said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash. (more…)

Police in Gulfport have requested a local DA to file a charge against a bus driver for failing to be George Zimmerman.    Well, kinda…  watch the video and you’ll see the issue:

What is really at play here is *why* the bus driver did not engage to assist. However, against the demands of the Natalie Jackson types for young black males to be left alone to roam at will and never challenged, he was, and is, between a racial rock, and a racist hard place.
One can only imagine how the BGI and NAACP would approach the driver if he did step forth to defend the white student from the mob beating.  [Think, “he shoulda stayed in his car seat]  After all, according to the Sharpton, Jackson and Jealous contingent, this beatdown could not be considered racist because the victim was white.

Katrisha shares a valued comment:

It is difficult to feel welcome here as a black woman when blanket statements are tossed at will.
Many of “us” agree with much of what “you” say, but when blanket statements about our race are thrown, a) one automatically weakens their argument and b) it makes “us” who tend to agree, cringe or shy away.  (shrugs)

There is a bigger “there” within that comment, which deserves expansion – and perhaps a greater understanding.

In the field of ideas, conservative patriots can dress down the racists with quick dispatch.  Why?  Because the conservatives view people as individuals and not attached to collectives.   However, yes here comes the “but”,…. when the individual does not draw down their own collective – the battle of ideas is necessarily broad-stroked.
Here’s what I mean using examples. (more…)

Smart move by Ben Kruidbos and his attorney Wes White.   It was Rick Scott’s appointment of Special Prosecutor Angela Corey that started the fiasco in the first place.  Kruidbos/White now reach out to Scott for relief based on consequences of that appointment:

(Via Gateway Pundit) Gowdy told Greta the Obama Administration is hiding the survivors, dispersing them around the country, AND changing their names.

“Including changing names, creating aliases. Stop and think what things are most calculated to get at the truth? Talk to people with first-hand knowledge. What creates the appearance and perhaps the reality of a cover-up? Not letting us talk with people who have the most amount of information, dispersing them around the country and changing their names.”

The complaint was filed today in Duval County:

(Miami Herald – Written by Jay Weaver)  The parents of Trayvon Martin and their lawyer met with Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents at the U.S. attorney’s office in Miami Wednesday to discuss the status of a criminal civil-rights investigation into the fatal shooting of their teen-age son last year.
The federal investigation, which was opened while George Zimmerman faced prosecution for the death of the 17-year-old, gained renewed interest last month after Zimmerman was acquitted in state court of Martin’s killing in a Sanford gated community.
Prosecutors with the Justice Department’s criminal civil-rights section and FBI agents from Central Florida met with the late teen’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, and their attorney, Benjamin Crump, to bring the family up to speed, according to sources familiar with the meeting.

(Via NewsBusters) It seems that when there’s a good liberal narrative to be advanced, facts and  actual history don’t matter.
That was apparently the case when Oprah Winfrey claimed that the “n-word” was  the last thing heard by “millions” who were lynched. The implication is clear —  millions of blacks have been lynched because of their race.  Worse yet, Parade Magazine let Winfrey get away with her “fact”  unchallenged.
Winfrey  made her comments in an interview discussing Lee Daniels’ “The Butler,” a movie  that chronicles one black man’s years of service in the White House. Winfrey  plays the role of Gloria Gaines, the wife of Cecil Gaines, who served from  Eisenhower through Reagan. (more…)
