It had to pain the very reverend Jesse Jackson that when the Trayvon Martin story began to break nationally in mid-March 2012 he was on a pointless glad handing tour of Europe. The evening of March 19, the night rival Al Sharpton dedicated his own TV show on MSNBC fully to the fictionalized tale of Martin’s death at the hands of a racist neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida, Jackson was giving “his perspective on the fight against discrimination” at a 120 Euro-a-head dinner in a swank Brussels hotel.

The event was sponsored by Democrats Abroad Belgium. The Party’s relentless vote harvesters were using the event to troll for votes and dough among the ex-pats, and Jackson was the best they could do. As Jackson has long understood, he and his rival race hustlers derive their power from their symbiotic relationship with the Democratic-Media complex. When need be, they played ball. (more…)

Perhaps even more sad than the story itself is the fact the “Good Samaritan” has to remain anonymous lest she and her fiance’ suffer retaliation from her own community.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Good Samaritan speaks out about how she and her fiancé helped a man being beaten by teenagers on the Northside.

A witness, who does not want to reveal her identity for fear of her safety, says Friday night she was driving down Soutel Drive near Lem Turner Road with her fiancé and saw a group of teenagers beating a man.

“We seen a whole bunch of African-American kids you know, beating and stomping on an elderly Caucasian guy and he had bags and everything, he couldn’t even defend himself because it was so many kids,” said the anonymous witness. (more…)

(Hat Tip WeaselZippers)   The ideology of what Egypt has become continues to play out on the world stage…  An Egypt fully supported by President Obama.

CAIRO (AP) — A mob threw rocks and fired birdshot Sunday at several hundred Christians marching in a protest against Egypt’s Islamist government after the funeral of four Christians killed in sectarian clashes over the weekend.

The Christians were chanting slogans against Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, just as several thousand did earlier during the funeral service nearby in the Coptic Orthodox cathedral in Cairo.

The attacking mob, described by witnesses as residents of the area, forced the marchers to take shelter inside the sprawling cathedral complex. They also showered the protesters with rocks from the roofs of nearby buildings, according to witness Ibrahim el-Shareef. (more…)

( via Fox News) The U.S. Army listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania, Fox News has learned.

“We find this offensive to have Evangelical Christians and the Catholic Church to be listed among known terrorist groups,” said Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. “It is dishonorable for any U.S. military entity to allow this type of wrongheaded characterization.”

The incident occurred during an Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief on extremism. Topping the list is Evangelical Christianity. Other organizations listed included Catholicism, Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Ku Klux Klan, Sunni Muslims, and Nation of Islam.

The military also listed “Islamophobia” as a form of religious extremism. (READ 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…)
