It’s time to talk about motive. Not motive for Zimmerman, but “motive” for Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton. It is becoming more likely the motive for the entire construct of a victim narrative might possibly be found in the root of all evil.
THE LOVE OF MONEY.
Yep, the oldest and most influential of all motivations appears to have raised its ugly head and appeared from under the surface of manipulated optics. The love of money.
As in, how can we find monetary gain from the death of a child? I doubt it was the first consideration, but it certainly became the reason for directing all of the media attention onto it. Money. A quick immersion through the stages of grief, and proceed directly to personal monetary gain. Money.
Martin family attorney Ben Crump is desperate to see Federal charges against Zimmerman because Florida’s Stand Your Ground law specifically immunized self-defenders against criminal and civil penalties.
I am not a lawyer, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night; So those who are feel free to jump in. Perhaps attorney Benjamin Crump et al are searching for a deep-pocketed defendant, or ten, for their eventual goals at a wrongful death claim.
George Zimmerman personally isn’t exposed to the risk of writing million dollar checks; it is evident he is not a man of abundant means. However, the Home Owners Association, their insurance company, and possibly the City of Sanford et al, may be shielded with Zimmerman under self-defense, or ‘Stand Your Ground’?
Would a charge/conviction change that? Would a Federal charge change that, or does Crump simply have to find a hook for a civil ‘wrongful death’ suit in a Federal court where the Stand Your Ground would not apply?….. See “Racism”.
To better understand the rapid *cough* “search for justice”, one only has to consider under what circumstances does immunity stop applying?
If Zimmerman could be convicted of criminal charges it would go a long way to opening up various litigants for civil suit. Attorney Benjamin Crump, and attorney Darryl Parks, and the Trayvon family have been screaming for an arrest. They have managed to attach the race-baiting parasitic self-interested crew of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Ben Jealous to their goal.
Why? Justice, or Jewels? One might conceivably imagine that if the city wanted to just diminish the “outrage” they could accommodate them with a nicely orchestrated ‘speed arrest’; stage a optically advantageous perp walk in the front door, book Zimmerman, arraign him, provide a bail hearing, and then whisk him out the back door fifteen minutes later.
There is only one problem with that. The law: Statute 776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.—
(1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term “criminal prosecution” includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.
(2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.
(3) The court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by the defendant in defense of any civil action brought by a plaintiff if the court finds that the defendant is immune from prosecution as provided in subsection (1).
So under section “2” an arrest implies “probable cause”. Once that process is established it can be reasonably argued the immunity is gone. For the purpose of “monetary justice” it only takes an arrest; a subsequent conviction is not necessary.
Hence quite possibly the arrest itself is of utmost importance for Mr. Crump et al’s opportunistic payday strategy.
It is a similar strategy used in the same methodical manner as those non-farmers who benefitted from the “Pigford farmer” settlements. Just using local jurisdictions and sequential court processes in place of federal ones. Unless they can convince the Eric Holder DOJ to find a racism “there” for them; where there is no “there”.
It might sound harsh to boil this all down to a chase for monetary benefit, and perhaps it is. But in reality you’ve got to admit that Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fuller, know the details far better than we do, and yet they still pursue a case, which according to law enforcement is without merit, and one that is unravelling all around them.
If “justice for Trayvon” was really the ultimate strategy then Tracy and Sybrina would not be leaking information to the press (phone records); they would be demanding DeeDee talk to authorities; they would be open, yet understandably wounded, by an alternative outcome; and they would be seeking the truth even if it did not align with supposition.
Unfortunately this is not the case.
Trademarking names, continuing to sell false narratives, and even planting false stories in the media. These are not the actions of people in a search for justice, these are actions of people searching something else.
