Autopsy results seem to support George Zimmerman's account

Some of the autopsy results in the Trayvon Martin case have been released. They show that Trayvon Martin had two injuries. The first was the gunshot wound. The second injury was to his knuckles.

If George Zimmerman’s account of the incident is true, then Martin’s knuckles were likely injured while he was busy breaking George Zimmerman’s nose, giving him two black eyes, or slamming his head into the sidewalk. Here’s a point to ponder: If George Zimmerman started the altercation, then where are the injuries on Trayvon Martin?

Trayvon Martin

When I first heard about Trayvon Martin’s death, I was stunned. How could a kid walking to a convenience store for an iced tea and a bag of Skittles be killed? From the initial reports, Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, who appeared to be a loose cannon. Why would he murder a kid buying a snack? Was Trayvon Martin profiled because he was a black teenager? There were lots of questions that needed answering, including why George Zimmerman wasn’t charged and arrested for murdering Trayvon Martin. Of course, a funny thing happened on the way to answering those questions: The truth began to leak out.

According to early reports, it appeared that Martin was targeted by a racist white man. Well, George Zimmerman isn’t white. He’s hispanic, identifies himself as hispanic, and has almost the same skin color as Barack Obama, who said that Trayvon Martin resembles what his own son might have looked like. To this point, there’s also no evidence that Zimmerman has a history of racist behavior.

By now, we’ve also seen pictures of Martin which were probably taken a few years ago, rather than recent photos. Trayvon Martin was a man, and not the boy portrayed by many in the media. Keep this in mind when you read about how Trayvon Martin followed George Zimmerman as he walked back to his truck, punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground, then repeatedly slammed Zimmerman’s head against the sidewalk. Not only did Zimmerman have injuries which required medical attention, but witnesses corroborated his story.

Since Martin’s death, the media have done a great job of turning it into a story about race. The finishing touches are visits by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who never miss an opportunity to use a tragedy for personal gain.

Besides race, liberals have used this opportunity to attack Republicans. First was their criticism of the “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows people to defend themselves rather than flee. Some liberals have blamed former Florida Governor Jeb Bush for signing the bill into law. After all, why not take an opportunity to blame a Republican for a death, if you can? Not surprisingly, these liberals ignored one tiny fact: The bill passed the Florida House overwhelmingly, and the Senate unanimously? I think that’s called bipartisan support. I’d also like to add another inconvenient fact for liberals: George Zimmerman is a registered Democrat.

From the New Black Panther Party putting a bounty on George Zimmerman’s head, to racist t-shirts, degenerates like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and clueless celebrities attempting to post his Zimmerman’s address, there’s no doubt that there is no desire to consider the other side of the story.

George Zimmerman has been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion, and nothing but a guilty verdict will suffice. Let’s hope that any on-going investigations are completed without political or media influence

Eric Holder supports civil rights...for some people.

Eric Holder says he has “reinvigorated” the Department of Justice’s civil rights division. Acording to holder:

“We’ve also expanded enforcement efforts to guarantee that in our work places, our military bases, in our housing and lending markets, in our voting booths in our border areas, in our schools and places of worship. And I mean all places of worship,”

That’s right. Holder’s DOJ protects the civil rights of everyone…except for white guys who are threatened by club-wielding members of the New Black Panther Party. If you think I’m wrong, think about how quickly Eric Holder would have acted if black voters were intimidated by armed members of the Ku Klux Klan. If that’s not a case ofreverse discrimination, I don’t know what is.

Members of the New Black Panther Party dressed up in paramilitary outfits and held clubs in polling places.

Again, just look at the picture above. Picture white men in Ku Klux Klan uniforms holding clubs outside a polling place. If that had occurred, this situation would have been handled properly. Unfortunately, the AG chose to look the other way. I guess only some people need to have their rights protected.

I don’t care that he is 91 years old, he’s sick, that he has already served 2 years in prison, or that the crimes occurred nearly 70 years ago. He contributed to the death of 28,000 people, that’s all that should matter.

For those who argue that a sickly, 91 year old man shouldn’t be sent to prison, I’d like to point out that he had the opportunity to live for more than 65 years after the end of World War II. His victims can’t say the same.

Silvio Berlusconi

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is facing several charges, and potentially, lots of jail time. The most scandalous was an allegation that he hired a 17 year old prostitute named Ruby. Both deny the charge, but today, a judge felt there was enough evidence to indict him.

I had a flashback when Berlusconi denied all the allegations and blamed it on a politically motivated left-wing conspiracy. Change the wing, and it’s right out of the Bill Clinton handbook. Of course, Bill Clinton looks like a Boy Scout compared to Berlusconi.

An elderly woman prevented 6 men from using sledge hammers to smash a jewelry store window and rob them. Once she drew attention to what was happening, other bystanders jumped in and helped apprehend four of the six men. If more people acted like her, the streets would be safer, and we would have less crime.

Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks

I think it’s safe to say that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is easily the most infamous person in the world. The big question is whether all the negative publicity is warranted.

Some have compared Julian Assange to a terrorist, and many have said repeatedly that he will have blood on his hands, since many of his leaks could endanger people. Of course, many of the people who are up-in-arms were also singled out for their own mistakes, so they might not be the best of choices if one is seeking an opinion. I’m not going to pretend there will be no negative ramifications from the Wikileak cables, but I do feel it will have some positive effects.

First, let’s start off by realizing that a lot of the information in those cables was absolute crap. Some mentioned the “voluptuous nurse” who travels with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, or Argentine President Cristine Fernandez De Kirchner’s anxiety problems. Who cares? Information like this is petty and of no importance. Of course, there were quite a few useful nuggets of information.

Argentina's President, Cristina Fernandez De Kirchner

One important revelation that jumps to mind is King Abdullah’s criticism of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He would have never said anything of the sort in public, but it is good to see that Middle Eastern leaders aren’t completely in lock step. There was also Egypt’s comments about Iran’s role in sponsoring terror, which would have never been intentionally spoken in public. Then, we have information that China may be moving away from supporting North Korea. None of this information was meant for public discussion, but it might actually be positive in the long run.

Of course, there was some bad stuff in those cables, but that really isn’t his fault. For example, we found out that Hillary Clinton likes to turn diplomats into spies, which is highly unethical, perhaps illegal. That’s really what this boils down to: The government not wanting it’s inappropriate and unprofessional shenanigans exposed for the world to see. What seems to be forgotten is that their misdeeds wouldn’t have been seen if they didn’t exist.

Now, can we please spend less time focusing on Julian Assange and spend more time and energy tracking down real terrorists?

While gangs, kidnapping, and drug trafficking are running rampant in Arizona, Barack Obama is cracking jokes. Do you still wonder why illegal immigration is such a problem? Mr. Obama and his fellow leftists should just come out and advocate an open borders policy once and for all. After all, his administration is acting like it is already our policy.

As I looked at the list, I noticed that 3 of the states are along the Mexican border and have a large number of illegal aliens entering the state. Well, it looks like New York and Florida are in the same boat. It turns out that California (1), Texas (2), New York (3), Florida (5), and Arizona (6) make up five out of the top six states with the most illegal aliens. Is this merely a coincidence? Could some other variable be at work? That’s certainly possible, but you must admit that it is some coincidence.

No one should be surprised by the poor participation rates among illegal aliens. We are required by law to complete the Census. Of course, why would illegal aliens pay any attention to that small detail? They’ve already trespassed into the country and possibly broken other laws such as using fake I.D., identity theft, or related crimes. What’s one more infraction?

The next time you hear someone tell you that illegal aliens bring a positive benefit to America, remember this article. Remember how the U.S. will need to pay Census workers up to $25 per hour to track down those who didn’t fill out there forms, and how many of these individuals happen to be from states with large numbers of illegal aliens. Also remember how many of the people who don’t fill out the Census will be the ones who use the resources denied to their state because of their lack of participation.

Do you still think illegal aliens have a positive net benefit?
