(VIA BEN JEALOUS) One year later, the Trayvon Martin tragedy still stings – and some people are still throwing salt on the open wound. Last week George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert Zimmerman, posted a tweet comparing Trayvon Martin to De’Marquis Elkins, 17-year-old black teenager charged with fatally shooting a one-year-old baby.
The tweet showed a photo of Elkins side by side with a photo of Martin, both making inappropriate gestures, with the caption “A picture speaks a thousand words. Any questions?”
Zimmerman’s follow-up tweet read “Lib[eral] media [should] ask if what these [two] black teens did [to] a [woman and her baby] is the reason [people] think blacks might [be] risky”. The implication was that Trayvon Martin’s actions on the night he was murdered were equivalent to the killing of an innocent child. (more…)
Modern Political history is filled with mayoral candidates who position themselves for victory in their bid for public office by getting arrested. Marion Barry in Washington DC appears to have been one of the most prolific felons to use the approach.
(Via GWP) Missouri – A former alderman and current candidate for mayor in Pine Lawn was arrested Sunday night, after police say she created a disturbance inside a grocery store.
Nakisha Ford was charged with disorderly conduct and stealing after she allegedly became upset with a campaign ad posted inside a Pine Lawn Market, and began yelling at employees to remove it. (more…)
UNITED NATIONS – The Obama administration joined 153 other nations Tuesday in approving an arms trade treaty opposed by the U.S. gun lobby.
Adoption of the treaty sets up a showdown between the White House and Congress, where a majority of senators have called on the president not to sign the treaty because it regulates small arms.
In one of the amendments to the Senate Budget last month, lawmakers voted 53 to 46 to stop the United States from joining the treaty.
The administration and treaty proponents say it would have no impact on the Second Amendment, since it applies to arms exports and not domestic arms sales. (read more)
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY – Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin — who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard — now holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University’s School of Social Work, The Post has learned.
Boudin, 69, this year won another academic laurel — being named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, where last month she gave a lecture on “the politics of parole and re-entry.” (more…)
The following article is a highlight submitted to the mailroom and presented by reader/contributor “Ackbarsays” Such a great job was done in presentation that we’ll just present it as it was submitted, including commentary by Ackbarsays, and you can determine for yourself the agenda at play. This example cuts to many of the central issues surrounding stories you are seeing under current headlines.
Ackbarsays (ABS) Writes: This article concerns Bethune Cookman University. You’ll remember them because a group of BCU students famously marched from downtown Daytona Beach to Sanford during the height of the whole Zimmerman lynch-fest last year. This private university of less than 3600 students is asking (demanding?) they be allowed to establish their own police force, answerable to the school president rather than the local police chief. Note that they try to cover their real intentions by saying that this is about student safety (an “added layer of protection” from “violent shooters”). I highlighted a few things and added a few notes:
DAYTONA BEACH — Bethune-Cookman University could have its own independent police force in about five months, an autonomous law enforcement agency that would report to the school’s president — not the city’s police chief.
That’s the hope of top B-CU officials who have been talking to city officials and working on a proposed agreement they would like city commissioners to vote on within the next month.
“As we looked across the country at the number of violent shooters, the Board of Trustees felt we needed an added layer of protection,” said Cheryl Lawson-Young, B-CU’s crime prevention and compliance manager. (more…)

Orlando – Cecil Smith was sworn in as Sanford’s new police chief this morning and vowed to spend as much time in the community as he does behind his desk.
Smith, the former deputy chief in Elgin, Ill., was sworn in by Mayor Jeff Triplett at City Hall. About 100 people attended the event, including city commissioners, Seminole Sheriff Don Eslinger and dozens of police officers. (more)

(CBS) — Chicago police made several arrests Saturday evening following another “wilding” scene instigated by young people along the Magnificent Mile.
Photographers shot chaotic video of police officers and vehicles swarming Michigan Avenue near Huron and detaining several young people around 7:30 p.m. Some of the disturbance leaked onto Chicago Avenue near State Street on a relatively warm night with temperatures in the 50s.
Chicago Police News Affairs confirmed officers arrested “a number of offenders” and said charges were pending. Details weren’t available.
But community activist Andrew Holmes, who happened to be shopping with a relative in the upscale retail district, described a scene in which hundreds of young people misbehaved, with some of them harassing and attacking people on the street. (more…)
This article is representative of why we cannot have an honest discussion about violence in this country without being labeled as racist.
One of the key tenets of Progs is their capacity to use congnitive dissonance to reconcile their arguments/positions. They ignore the water in the rain and describe getting wet as a problem. The truth does not fit this agenda.
( Washington Post )Imagine if African American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year. Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we’d have political debates demanding that African Americans be “held accountable.” Then, if an atrocity such as the Newtown, Conn., shootings took place and African American male leaders held a news conference to offer solutions, their credibility would be questionable. The public would tell these leaders that they need to focus on problems in their own culture and communities.
But when the criminals and leaders are white men, race and gender become the elephant in the room.
{snip} According to President Obama’s own studies: “Blacks are disproportionately represented as both homicide victims and offenders. The victimization rate for blacks (27.8 per 100,000) is 6 times higher than the rate for whites (4.5 per 100,000). The offending rate for blacks (34.4 per 100,000) is almost 8 times higher than the rate for whites (4.5 per 100,000).”….. /SD (link)
Nearly all of the mass shootings in this country in recent years — not just Newtown, Aurora, Fort Hood, Tucson and Columbine — have been committed by white men and boys. Yet when the National Rifle Association (NRA), led by white men, held a news conference after the Newtown massacre to advise Americans on how to reduce gun violence, its leaders’ opinions were widely discussed.
