A bunch of people have shared a recent Washington Post cartoon depicting President Obama as Trayvon Martin and the threat of impeachment as George Zimmerman.
Generally right-sided opinions’ appear to view this imagery as “offensive”.
Not us.

I would totally agree with BigFurHat at iOTW – The Washington Post doesn’t realize how accurate this is.   READ HERE

On March 20th 2012 ABC News, Matt Gutman and Benjamin Crump introduced America to a very specific person.   They called her “Dee Dee”.

Dee Dee was said to be a 16-year-old girlfriend, “puppy love girlfriend”, “minor child”, of a notorious headline story surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Dee Dee a distraught “girlfriend” who was “on the phone” with Trayvon during his encounter with George Zimmerman.  A girlfriend since “kindergarten” who was so emotionally distraught at the shooting she had to be hospitalized during the weekend of the funeral and unable to attend services.
Only there was a slight problem.
There was no “Dee Dee”.  She was a complete fabrication – she did not exist.  She, as she was described to exist, was a lie.
Everything said about her was totally constructed to sell a narrative and advance a false proposition.   The character was constructed by Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump, and journalist Matt Gutman (ABC) sold her story to the world.
Everyone believed it, everyone.
The truth was only discovered, but brutally ignored a year and a half later, during the trial.
Dee Dee was actually Rachel Jeantel.   She wasn’t 16, she was 18.  She wasn’t a minor, nor was she a “girlfriend since kindergarten”.  Trayvon met Rachel on Feb 5th 2012, at her birthday party, and had only known her for 3 weeks.   Rachel was never at a hospital, and did not attend the funeral -not because she was sick- but because she barely knew Trayvon.
The Persona of “Dee Dee”, was a total fraud known not only to the Martin Family -who continued the fraud- but also known to the State Prosecutors who were fixated on taking a transparently innocent man to trial.   The attorney’s, the prosecutors, and the State of Florida knew it was all a lie.   ABC News also knew it was a lie, but they said nothing.
Eventually the motive for her construction became obvious.   The character of “DeeDee” became the entire premise behind which George Zimmerman was arrested less than three weeks later.   This, despite the fact that local law enforcement was not allowed to speak to, see, interview or even know the identity of this “ear witness” girlfriend.  Her construct was then used by various media and grievance advocates to support their contentions.
Again, just to emphasize, Dee Dee was a fictional character.  She did not exist.   At all.
Yet somehow, because of the media reporting, millions upon millions of interested people bought the entire story and framed their opinions around the portrayal. (more…)

As you watch this recent CNN article highlighting Rachel Jentel -a year anniversary of trial- you might also pay attention to the collective people assembled within the article.

(Via Washington Post)  The lawyer in George Zimmerman’s defamation suit is vowing to appeal the ruling of a Florida judge who yesterday tossed the litigation from her courtroom. Judge Debra S. Nelson wrote that Zimmerman “shall take nothing by this suit” even though NBC News in multiple broadcasts had shortened a police call in a way that inaccurately depicted Zimmerman as volunteering racial information about Trayvon Martin on the night of their fatal encounter in February 2012.
“We obviously disagree with the judge,” says James Beasley, Zimmerman’s Philadelphia-based attorney. “We understand she has her position and we respect it, but we obviously disagree.” An appeal is coming. Nelson is the same judge who presided over Zimmerman’s 2013 criminal trial, in which he was acquitted of second-degree murder.
The pivotal section of Nelson’s decision declares that for the purposes of libel law, Zimmerman is a public figure. In so ruling, Nelson appears to have agreed with NBC’s motion to dismiss, which argued that Zimmerman’s public profile predated the encounter with Martin. (more…)

As a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y expected, Judge Debra Nelson agrees with defendant (NBC) motion and dismisses the lawsuit by George Zimmerman against NBC for slander/defamation.

There really was no other way this court was going to rule.   Judge Debra Nelson was the same judge from the original criminal trial.   Two things were brutally obvious:

Firstly,  she is horridly inept in legal analysis and opinion.    Nelson relies heavily on her judicial clerks to form and write her decisions.   Subsequently,  in the higher profile Zimmerman case, her staff level decision making was exposed and she was twice reversed in pre-trial rulings by the 5th Florida DCA.
Those ruling reversals were before the Zimmerman trial formerly started – and there were at least 4 or 5 more pre-trial decisions the defense team could have easily appealed and won, but just chose not to.   Including the actual start date of the trial itself which she refused to delay even after the 5th DCA reversed her deposition rulings -in favor of defense- 3 days before trial start was scheduled.
Secondly, Nelson’s actual trial rulings were generally flawed; and most legal analysts would agree she was/is legally weak-minded.   However, worse than the absence of legal acumen was her visible bias against the defendant, Zimmerman, and his defense. (more…)

The same judge from the 3/16/12 911 call audio tape release injunction.
The same judge from the Zimmerman trial fiasco.
The same judge overturned TWICE by 5th Circuit court of appeals on pretrial rulings.
… now presiding over the civil lawsuit. Would you really expect anything different ? Really?

I think I’ll limit my opinion of this predictable train wreck to pictures.

SANFORD – A judge on Thursday threw out part of George Zimmerman’s libel suit against NBC Universal and held out the prospect that she may throw out the whole thing.
Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson tossed the allegations related to one of five broadcasts and said she needs to do more homework before deciding about the others. Zimmerman is suing the media company, alleging that it falsely portrayed him as a racist.
He is the Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, a shooting that prompted civil rights rallies. (more…)

No-one was a larger victim of the rabid hate from the misled masses than Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman. Both Robert and Gladys Zimmerman went through H*LL as a result of the lynch mob mentality stoked by the lies of Spike Lee and Roseanne Barr.

Mere weeks after leaving the hospital, and while caring for an elderly parent with Alzheimer’s, they were forced to flee their home in the middle of the night as the Bounty Hunting mob descended around them.   The next year and a half were spent moving from hotel to hotel trying to remain safe.   $750k doesn’t even begin to compensate….

New York Daily News – The parents of George Zimmerman want comedian Roseanne Barr to pay up $750,000 for emotional damage and other expenses for posting their address on Twitter.

Robert and Gladys Zimmerman say the tweet by Barr on March 29, 2012, caused $600,000 in emotional distress, according to federal court documents, after they were forced to “flee their house in the middle of the night.” (more…)

This is unreal.   Last year at 14-years-old Marshall Coulter was shot in the head during a suspected burglary at 2am.   The shooter/homeowner was unfortunate enough to be a victim of the “Trayvon Effect” (charge all white folk who are defending themselves) and was charged with 2nd degree murder.   The 14-year-old is now 15…..

LOUISIANA – A 15-year-old who survived being shot in the head last July by a Marigny homeowner was arrested Friday (May 2) in a residential burglary in the Marigny, according to two law enforcement officials. Marshall Coulter was shot last July by homeowner Merritt Landry, who later told police he believed the teen was breaking into his home.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the investigation.

They said Coulter was detained Friday afternoon by 8th District detectives after a resident in the 2000 block of Royal Street reported a burglary of their home. It was not immediately clear how police linked him to the crime.

New Orleans police spokesman Officer Frank Robertson III said officers detained a 15-year-old boy around 3:45 p.m. and booked him on a simple burglary charge. He said the investigation was ongoing and that no more information would be forthcoming. No court or jail records were available in the case. (more…)

We documented early on in the Trayvon Martin story how young Trayvon was using “Purple Lean” aka “Sizzurp” to get high.    Indeed the Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Juice, which were found on him at the time of the shooting, were two of the three ingredients he used in his favorite cocktail.
Lil’ Wayne, a notorious promoter of the drink, was Trayvon’s favorite rapper/artist.   Now the manufacturer of the codeine syrup pulls production and sales of their product.
Actavis pulls production and sales of their promethazine codeine syrup.
A pharmaceutical company has announced that they will cease production of a prescription cough syrup due to its association with drug sizzurp.
Sizzurp, also known as ‘purple drank’, is made from prescription cough syrup, hard candy and sugary soft drinks, and is popular among rap stars and pop prince-turned-wannabe gangster Justin Bieber.
Actavis say that it is the celebrity glorification of using their ‘Prometh with Codeine cough syrup’ to make sizzurp that has led to the company stopping all production and sales. (more…)

ORLANDO, FL –  Yeah, I tweeted the address of George Zimmerman’s parents, comedienne Roseanne Barr acknowledged in court paperwork this week, but she’s also hired five lawyers to defend her against their lawsuit.
On Monday, those lawyers filed paperwork, asking an Orlando federal judge to throw out the suit filed last month by Robert Zimmerman Sr. and Gladys Zimmerman, who accuse Barr of violating their privacy and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
Barr did post their address on Twitter on March 28 or 29, 2012, she and her lawyers concede, but it an accident – she meant to reply to just one person, they wrote.
