Scott Wants Rev. Jackson and Other Protesters to Leave Florida Alone

Rick Scott wants Jesse Jackson and others out of Florida“I love the SYG law. George had his day in court and won, get over it. Jackson and Sharpton are in it to keep the race issue up. I agree with Bill O’Reilly, on Fox. Should they decide to boycott this state that is fine with me, and as usual, once again the spineless Democrats want more gun control laws, well the law is fine. Don’t commit a crime or attack any one and you will not get shot, see how simple it is. And we do not need outsiders coming to our state and telling us how to run it, don’t like what we do, go home and stay there,” say Florida resident Bob Hudsun.

A Harsh Reality Of Black Justice

Justice ScalesI try hard to be an informed citizen. I try harder to be fair and impartial when it comes to the actions of the general public; as well as law enforcement officers concerning their behavior toward African Americans.

Jury Decision Consistent With Past Predominantly White Jury Verdicts:The Race of the Victim Matters Much

jury selectionYesterday I was taken aback by the comments of Sheriff Don Eslinger, the Seminole County Sheriff.  Shortly after the jury began deliberating Sheriff Eslinger convened a news conference to announce that he would not tolerate lawlessness after the verdict is announced.  It is not what he said, but how he said it. His tone was accusatory and threatening and in my view based upon negative presumptions about the African American community.

STATE OF FLORIDA V. ZIMMERMAN 7/14/2013 (Post-verdict thoughts segment 2)

Talking HeadsPosted on July 14, 2013    

STATE OF FLORIDA V. ZIMMERMAN (More and more thoughts): I was watching the various “talking heads” post verdict last night on a particular cable news outlet and the participants were getting facts about this case wrong (surprise) and as a result, in my opinion, were contributing to more confusion about FACTS about this case in terms of the historical chronology and thereby fanning what I call “the flames of ignorance” in terms of accuracy in reporting, accuracy in journalism and responsibility of being on as a broadcaster.
