Benjamin Crump and Natalie Jackson hold celebratory press conference giddy with glee and very pleased with themselves.   Trayvon family lawyers say the revocation is proof that George Zimmerman is a liar and a murderer.
SANFORD, Fla. –  A judge has revoked the bond of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and ordered him returned to jail within 48 hours.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said Friday that George Zimmerman misled the court about how much money he had available when his bond was set for $150,000 in April. Prosecutors claim Zimmerman had $135,000 available that had been raised by a website he set up.
Prosecutors also say he failed to surrender a second passport.  The defense says the finances are an innocent misunderstanding.  (more from earlier)

Wisdom of Sharon (which I agree with 100%):

If he deliberately misrepresented the facts, it makes sense that his bond should be revoked, because he becomes a flight risk.  No doubt because he was terribly frightened and frustrated.  If that is what he did, I certainly won’t wring my hands over the judge’s decision.  We used to be a nation of laws, and I’m in favor of us being a nation of laws.

What is wrong with this article (screen shot below) from CBS-DC ?  It’s subtle but what they are doing is specifically intentional.   Can you see it?

The CBS article is about Alexander Kinyua, the man who killed his roommate and ate part of his heart and liver.   But the accompanying picture that goes along with the article shows a white male in handcuffs.    Why? (more…)

(Via Weinerboy at the Orlando Sentinel) George Zimmerman, the defendant in one of the most-watched murder cases in the country, on Thursday added a new lawyer to his defense team: veteran Orlando attorney Donald R. West, who specializes in murders.
Attorney Mark O’Mara, lead defense counsel in the case, plans to make a formal announcement today.
West has handled some of the most high-profile criminal cases in the Orlando area in the past 20 years.

In 1998, he served as co-counsel and helped Joseph “Crazy Joe” Spaziano get off death row. Spaziano is the former motorcycle gang member who was convicted of raping and murdering an Orlando teenager, whose body was found in an Altamonte Springs dump. (more…)

I am reposting the Trayvon 7-11 video from Diwataman for a several reasons.  First, it is simply an exceptional catch that deserves to be reposted.   From high altitude, or with only a casual glance, it might seem a little irrelevant, alas it is not.  It is very significant.

From the outset the entire story of altruistic Trayvon Martin headed to the 7-11 for his “brother” Chad was simply silly.  17-year-old kids do not go out in the rain, at night, and walk over a mile just to get dad’s girlfriend’s kid a bag of skittles.   Every intellectually honest person knew that story, while it might have sounded great -and was indeed Julianesque- was implausible.   This video, and DiwataMan’s discovery of Trayvon’s actual intent, reflects the far more believable explanation.

MSNBC is a faux news propaganda entity selling the far-left talking points from Media Matters et al, 24/7.   Period.   Their entire lineup of pundits, newsies, talking heads and show hosts are specifically and intentionally similar in one key aspect, supporting the far-left in general, and President Obama specifically.
This intellectually honest definition of MSNBC is no longer challenged by any observer of the media or their agenda.   The insufferable lack of objectivity is also why MSNBC lags significantly behind the other news providers;  MSNBC is simply a propaganda machine.
But they carry their echo-chambering message a bit to far at times ergo recently evidenced by host Chris Hayes saying he’s uncomfortable calling fallen soldiers heroes.   He is, for all intents and purposes, a typical far-left prog.   In typical prog elitist fashion his ‘Airs and Graces’ are far superior than all others except those few within his closed circle of like-minded prog elites.
The visible arrogance and pontificating attitude of superiority within such mindsets are the key qualifiers to determine how ideologically entrenched the pundit is on the propaganda channel.   Rachael Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, Melissa Harris Perry, Martin Bashir and Chris Hayes are all cut from the exact same cloth.

(Via The Blaze)  On Sunday, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) spoke at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth undergraduate commencement ceremony, where he unleashed a bizarre comment surrounding Trayvon Martin and a black recipient who was at the event to receive an honorary degree. Frank, who was given the Chancellor’s Distinguished Service Medal at the event, created such a surprise with his quip that the audience gasped (and some cheered) as a result.

So, what was it that the leftist lawmaker said that created such a stir? Frank, who seemed to be looking for laughs from those in attendance, commented about academic and social justice crusader Hubie Jones’ honorary degree. The politician, who was clearly attempting to invoke the racial elements surrounding the Martin incident, said that Jones now has an academic hoodie that he can wear without anyone shooting at him.

Y’all know we have been researching in-depth the entire Trayvon Martin VS. George Zimmerman, Julison-created and Media-Hyped, narrative for over two months.   The initial and subsequent research we engaged in was an effort to untangle the various web of lies and misinformation and now includes over 876 cited, and fact based, research links.
The last update(s) divided into two sections Update #26 Part-1, and Update #26 Part-2, essentially present the fact based narrative of Trayvon Martin’s life in the last year leading up to his death.   These updates are generally just reflecting upon and discussing his own words.  Then allowing him to tell his own story, sad though it may be, from the social media networking and conversations he left behind.
It is gutwrenching to fully digest all of the self-destructive flags that were presented by Trayvon for anyone to find, and it is heartbreaking to know that just a few moments of involvement by either of his parents into the direction of his life would, at any moment, have revealed to them where he was headed.   If they would have looked at what “he was into,” and “what he was saying,” and “why he was in trouble” there were numerous opportunities to intervene and stop the downward spiral.

(Mediaite) – In March and April, MSNBC’s primetime hosts ran with nearly wall-to-wall coverage of the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. They regularly suggested that the lack of national interest in the case was worthy of outrage.
Last week, when an avalanche of new evidence favorable to George Zimmerman came to light, MSNBC’s primetime lineup didn’t just bury the story, they didn’t mention Martin or Zimmerman once the week that news broke according to media monitoring service TV Eyes.
On May 15, ABC’s World News broke new information that showed a more nuanced picture of how the altercation between Zimmerman and Martin unfolded. Their documents describe Zimmerman as having received “two black eyes” as well as a “broken nose.” They also outlined how Zimmerman was offered but refused hospitalization on the night of the incident.

RUSH  –  Facebook Falls Facedown, Regime Targets Morgan Stanley – The Facebook IPO. Ho-ho-ho-ho! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Somebody’s gonna have to pay for this. These are Obama’s buddies at Facebook.  Well, because the bottom’s falling out. They can’t maintain the initial price, the 38 bucks.  Right.

Well, okay. So somebody’s gonna have to pay the price for this. Somebody’s gonna get the blame for this. You can’t have these people losing Obama money like this. That can’t happen. You can’t blame Goldman Sachs. They’re underwriters. They were in for $500 million at the outset, before the IPO. (more…)
