CTH doesn’t do direct refutation unless the issues are very important.    Earlier today, immediately following the jury conviction of three men in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a longtime Fox News legal analyst named Johnathan Turley made a claim of fact that must be refuted.  My apologies for the delay here.

I do not have video citation, but watched in real time as it happened.  Attorney and Law School Professor Johnathan Turley appeared on Fox News to discuss the jury verdict in the Arbery case.

During his appearance, Professor Turley stated the difference between Ahmaud Arbery’s death and the death of Trayvon Martin was video evidence.

Turley compared the Arbery case to the Trayvon case by saying there were no eyewitnesses for either events, but the difference in the Arbery case there was video.

The explicit and intended implication was that if video evidence existed in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, there’s a possibility George Zimmerman would have been convicted, or in the words of Turley, “there would have been a different outcome in that case.”   Everything about this claim by Turley is FALSE.

Turley’s viewpoint for the Arbery case discussion is not only wrong, it dangerously presents a possibility that is entirely fictitious.

THERE WAS a direct eye witness in the fight between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.  Direct eye witness Jonathan Good testified during the Zimmerman trial to witnessing the fight from his window in the condo unit next to the confrontation [LINK].  John Good testified in court to seeing Trayvon on top of Zimmerman and raining down blows MMA style, “ground and pound“, while Zimmerman was “shouting for help“, just before the fatal shot was fired.

Sybrina “Ms Candy” Fulton and Tracy “Fruit” Martin, the family of Trayvon Martin, will accept a college degree in Aeronautics presented posthumously in recognition of the life of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin:

(Via CNN) […] The aeronautics degree is in “honor of the steps he took during his young life toward becoming a pilot,” the school said in a Facebook post. Florida Memorial’s Department of Aviation and Safety has a designated Cessna pilot training center, and the school also houses the Trayvon Martin Foundation.  (read more)

Seriously?

What’s next, sizzurp scholarships?

This should be interesting. Very interesting. I’m curious to see if Alicia Stanley’s story is included. After all, she was Trayvon’s actual mother. If there’s a book tour, I might have to go ask Fruit and Candy some questions…

Hillary Clinton speaking at a Trayvon Martin Foundation event is an analogy wrapped up in a proverbial metaphor…. Everything about the foundation, Sybrina Fulton and Hillary Clinton is based on fraud.  ALL OF IT.

I was once asked how much time I personally spent in research of the Trayvon Martin shooting from April 2012 to July 2013. My best guess answer was 4,000 hours.
If you were to combine the efforts of approximately 100-500 CTH researchers during the same period you can amplify that number exponentially beyond a half million hours.  Yeah, we have some familiarity with this entire story.
I’ve been to Miami Gardens at least 5 times; I’ve interviewed dozens of Krop Senior High school students; I’ve talked to dozens of Miami Dade police officers, Miami-Dade School Police Officers, detectives, resource officers, teachers, school administration officials and school board members.   (more…)

Of course she does, because just like the rest of the ideological race-baiting community, any violations of the Safari Park rules are simply not allowed.

(Via Campus Reform) MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry said Monday that she hoped that Trayvon Martin “whooped the shit out of George Zimmerman.”

Harris-Perry’s remarks came Monday while speaking during Cornell University’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Lecture.

The event, which was first reported by The Cornell Review, was titled “We Can’t Breathe: The Continuing Consequences of Inequality,” and was meant to serve “as a thought-provoking reflection on contemporary race relations and the role the teachings of Dr. King should play today,” according to the Review.

Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old (canonized by the media) thug who burglarized homes, used drugs, engaged in fights against weaker opponents, was a disciplinary problem in school – and constantly kicked out, had numerous encounters with diversionary criminal enforcement programs and was an all around troubled teen.  It was the media that made him Saint Skittles.
(Daily Beast) A little over a week ago, a group of people marched down the streets of Manhattan and called for police to be killed. But exactly who cried out for violence has been something of a mystery, as New York goes through its most tense moment in more than a decade.

Evidence from photos, videos, social-media posts and interviews suggest that a group—the New York chapter of the Trayvon Martin Organizing Committee, or TMOC—might have been involved. There is no definitive proof that TMOC led the call for dead cops, but there is a web of circumstantial ties with the group at its center. (more…)

As attorneys Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump continue to represent the family of Michael Brown, the similarities in their approach toward both the Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown shooting continue to mount.   And that’s a problem, as you’ll see at the end: 

• The ages of both both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were originally misreported. Trayvon was 13, then 15, then 16 and eventually 17. Mike Brown was 17 in most original reports, and then eventually 18.

• Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were at a convenience store immediately before the shooting.

• Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were legally represented by attorneys’ Benjamin Crump, and Daryl Parks from the Law Firm: Parks and Crump.

• For both shootings Benjamin Crump enlisted the assistance of MSNBC and Al Sharpton.

• Al Sharpton enlisted the AME church network, and Jamal Bryant in both shootings.

• Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton called for the NAACP’s assistance in both shootings.

• The New Black Panther Party involved themselves in both shootings.

• The congressional Black Caucus involved themselves in both shootings.

While the two shooting events are separated by two and a half years, Trayvon (Feb 2012) Mike Brown (Aug 2014) the similarities are quite remarkable.   One of the key aspects that aligns both narratives is the appearance of the attorney for both families Benjamin Crump.  The second key aspect is the way the media portray both events.

Here’s some of the similarities:

•  The age of both was originally misreported.  Trayvon was 13, then 15, then 16 and eventually 17.  Mike Brown was 17 in most original reports, and then eventually 18.

•  Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were at a convenience store immediately before the shooting.

•  Both Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were legally represented by attorney Benjamin Crump, from the Law Firm of Parks and Crump.

•  For both shootings Benjamin Crump enlisted the assistance of MSNBC and Al Sharpton.

•  Al Sharpton enlisted the AME church network, and Jamal Bryant in both shootings.

•  Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton called for the NAACP’s assistance.

•  The New Black Panther Party involved themselves in both shootings.

•  The congressional Black Caucus involved themselves in both shootings.

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
