We will not advance a position, nor attempt to sway your sentiment, around the proposition that we, collectively, have assembled thousand of hours in research.  Nor will we attempt to advocate for gun ownership, self protection, or principles around the latest fashionable requests for the general public to consider a ‘new normal’ outlook toward liberty contingent on the premise you should not leave your car;  The central tenet within such framing concedes your liberty is now based on your acceptance that you are driving through, or living in, a safari park while preferring to avoid predators.

Bond Hearing Held For Trayvon Martin Shooter George Zimmerman

No.   For this context we want to bring your attention to the necessary defense motion to protect witnesses.

Think about that for a second.   The defense of an accused needs to afford anonymity to the bearers of truth, because their own life or liberty may be lost as a consequence of their testimony.   The defense brings forth this request.

The defense.

Never before have we, as an assembled nation, witnessed the State Case representing the threat to liberty.   The State of Florida as the THREAT to the individual.

Again, think about that.

Who needs protection from whom?    The witnesses, the advocates for the DEFENSE, need protections generally, and historically, only ever before afforded to witnesses who speak toward the crimes of the most horrible of the accused.

All previous case law in this regard outlines witness protections needed for STATE witnesses against retaliation by members who would align themselves with unlawful conduct.

But in the George Zimmerman trial, it is the defense witnesses who need to be afforded such protections.

What does that tell you about who, or what, is engaged in the unlawful behavior?

This is not a trial where the witnesses are worried about backlash from the Crime Syndicate.   This is not a mob trial where the witnesses are fearful of being killed by those who would align with the interests of the accused.

No, this is a trial where the threat to physical harm, or community liberty, is represented within the interests of the State.

“Justice For Trayvon”

Can you define a more apt consideration of Tyranny?

Those who would bring forth the disinfecting sunlight of truth, or dare I say justice, into the courtroom in Orlando, Florida, are worried about the affect to themselves, or their families, from those who are aligned with the STATES prosecution.

Who exactly are those who align with the interests of the prosecution?     Why would the State Government be affording, let alone participating in, a system where the actual threat to a lawful, and truthful citizen -a witness- would come from those within the state itself?

Mark O’Mara, the attorney for the defendant, George Zimmerman, stood today in front of a judge and asked for protection, for his witnesses, from the State and those who support the State’s interests.

Protection from tyranny – that was his request – his awkwardness in oration was abundantly evident.   I doubt such a request has ever been made before, by him or anyone, in their professional/legal career.

The State interest, meaning their success, is contingent upon the removal of one man’s life, his liberty; no matter what.    And the person in charge of protecting his liberty is seeking help and safety from the Judge, for his citizens who would speak on behalf of his defense.

This case is totally upside down.   It is usually the State arguing to defend its prosecution witnesses from retaliation by the accused, the defendant.

Why?  Because traditionally the threat to justice has always stemmed from the criminal element which would seek to destroy the sunlight of truth – and in so doing harm the witnesses.

But in this case, unlike any other, it is the State -and those who support the state’s intent-who present the threat of harm toward witnesses.   Harm to person, and direct harm from the larger social society in which they live.

That one issue, frames the larger context of why George Zimmerman deserves to be free.

The demand by the State to remove George Zimmerman’s liberty;  And the actions by the state, and those they represent, to insure its removal -despite the known facts which the witnesses seek to bring to the court- should make all of us take pause and reconcile against our own sense of justice.
