Here is exactly what I was hoping someone would share when I asked the question yesterday about how Mark O’Mara’s involvement into the HOA settlement with the Martin Family could be considered.   This author has digested the information, considered the surrounding issues, and formulated an up-side opinion to O’Mara being involved in the civil matters around the case.

In short – this person sees a positive or bright side approach. This well though out guest post came via e-mail and the author has approved my sharing it with you.

[…] Like many, I was outraged the first day or two when the story broke nationally, then I started wondering what the heck was going on after Obama made his comment. I then started paying attention and thought something smelled bad. I found your site shortly after Angela Corey become involved and reading your posts about what Crump and company needed to achieve in order to make money was eye opening, especially as I watched it unfold in the manner consistent with your assertions.

Anyway, in response to your blog, I would like to state this about Omara being involved in the settlement process with the HOA. I am no fan of Omara, but its brilliant. (more…)

Alternate Headline:  Taxpayer Financed Lap Dances Continue

COLORADO – An attempt by Colorado lawmakers to ban welfare recipients from withdrawing their benefits at ATMs located inside strip clubs was killed by Democrats Thursday night, even though the state House’s third-ranking Democratic legislator supported the measure.

Democratic Rep. Dan Pabon lent his support to the Republican-led proposal, offered as an amendment during a debate on the state budget Thursday night, because it would hew to a similar federal rule, according to the Denver Post. Pabon introduced a bill on the issue two years ago, but it didn’t clear the state Senate. (more…)

Update for clarity – I guess asking questions, and soliciting opinion about Mark O’Mara is now tantamount to attacking him ?   *WHISKEY*TANGO*FOXTROT*

No-where in this thread post is there an attack on Mark O’Mara.  To the contrary this is seeking an opinion based on known facts surrounding the case and the revelation that Mark O’Mara was a key decision maker in the agreement to financial settlement with the Martin family.   In short, it was O’Mara’s final nod -albeit perhaps reluctantly- that led to the settlement. 

My questions were/are about propriety, and conflict of interest, and do they exist against the backdrop of his involvement with civil litigation avoidance and his dual-role as criminal defense counsel;  And to what extent, if any, does that impact the criminal proceedings.

Yes,  I personally was surprised to find out that O’Mara would be the one to make the final decision on the settlement agreement with the estate of Trayvon Martin.   In my mind it brings many questions to the surface about appropriate representation.   However, I was actually seeking opinion as to whether or not this fact of O’Mara’s affiliation presents an issue – or not.

The knee-jerk reaction to view such questions as an attack merely solidify my worry that this is indeed an issue.    The responses which reflect a preference not to believe in such a relationship exists cement the concern.   Apparently, this is a troubling digestion for many people and avoidance is easier than reconciliation.   That is unnerving.

Last August we brought you the information about the potential lawsuits by the scheme team against the HOA, and their insurance carriers, for the Retreat at Twin Lakes – The location of the Trayvon Martin shooting.    The contacts went into negotiations and a holding pattern pending the outcome and/or progress of the criminal trial.

I wonder which “court” this is referring to?

SANFORD — Trayvon Martin’s parents settled a wrongful-death claim Friday against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed.

Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin’s attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed the suit against the Retreat at Twin Lakes subdivision.

Crump asked that the agreement remain confidential. However, the court has decided that there is no reason for the agreement to remain confidential, and is giving Crump 10 days to appeal that decision.

We have learned, that the homeowners association’s insurance company did not have to pay out a claim on the case. (read more)

“All we want is an arrest, we only want an arrest”……

Within 3 days of Trayvon Martin’s death his family hired a media consulting firm.   Within two weeks of Trayvon Martin’s death his mother, Sybrina Fulton, filed legal documents to trademark his name.   Subsequently Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton set out on a cross country tour to collect money.  After the coast to coast tour, they took the scheme international and headed to Europe to continue exploiting the financial opportunity.  [link]

Earlier we brought you the story of how the Housing and Urban Development has lost account for over $700 million in taxpayer money they slopped into the grievance trough after Katrina.

Here is yet another example of how The Federal Government promotes the fiscal dependency initiatives.    The same department, H.U.D, now promoting discrimination complaints for muslims.   

When you read the claim by H.U.D. ask yourself a simple question.   Is there really rampant discrimination based on religion in housing?   Really?…, or is this just another Pigfordesque guise. (more…)

The Orlando Sentinel weighs in on the recent filings in the George Zimmerman case.

Benjamin Crump:  Resist we must, and we much, about that, be committed….

ORLANDO – Attorneys for George Zimmerman Thursday asked an appeals court to reverse the decision of a Sanford judge and allow them to make Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon Martin‘s family, answer their questions under oath.

It is a battle defense attorneys have been fighting – and losing – for months.

They twice asked Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to allow them to depose Crump, and she twice said no, most recently one week ago.

Now, they’ve asked the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach to overturn her decision. (more…)

People wonder why the professional grievance industry is so powerful and apparently untouchable for reform.   Consider how much money they have manipulated from the trough.   Pigford 1, Pigford 2,  and now this…  $700 million unaccounted for (and that’s just in ONE program).

Yahoo – Where did all the money go?

“Your guess is as good as mine,” David Montoya, the inspector general of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, says of $700 million in missing taxpayer money that Louisiana homeowners were given in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to elevate and protect their homes from future storms.

A new report released from the inspector general’s office shows that more than 24,000 homeowners who received grants of up to $30,000 to elevate their homes either misspent or pocketed the money.

“The fact of the matter is that the money they received was for a specific purpose and the specific purpose was to elevate these homes to avoid future catastrophes,” Montoya tells Power Players.

He rates the home elevation program as little more than a complete failure. (more…)

Anyone want to bet these victims all retain a  similar ethnic profile?   Apparently the media thinks so, the victims are a closely guarded secret….  The Media?  (((crickets)))  Why?

FLORIDA – Officials from at least two states say the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office has provided key help to authorities prosecuting a man suspected of killing dozens of women across the United States over the course of decades, including victims in Alachua and Marion counties.

Samuel Little, 72, also known as Samuel McDowell, is being held in Los Angeles on three murder charges. It was as Samuel McDowell that he was acquitted in 1984 on a charge that he murdered a Gainesville woman two years earlier.

While local officials remain convinced nearly 30 years after the acquittal that he was the killer of 26-year-old Patricia Ann Mount, the records from that court case have given new life to dozens of other murder investigations throughout the country involving Little.

All the women Little is suspected of killing were beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled to death, some only days apart. The victims also lived high-risk lifestyles, making them easier targets for the transient Little, authorities said. (more…)

FOX News Charles Krauthammer hits the nail squarely on the head. Dear Leader bit off more than he could chew when he choose to attack gun control as a legacy initiative. It’s going nowhere because, despite what the media tells you, the majority oppose the idea(s). Senators and Congresscritters have been swamped by constituent calls about gun confiscation efforts.

Now Obama just uses the issue to generate campaign money. Period.

“All he wants now is the money… He’s lost on gun control. Do you think any of this is going to make any difference? It’s not going to make a bit of difference. Knowing all that he’s out there exploiting it as an issue. He’s not going to get the solution he wanted.”
