"With the third anniversary of the death of Trayvon Martin (2/26/12) coinciding with the exit from office of Attorney General Eric Holder, this is a good time to review the facts ... of the Trayvon Martin case. As a result of this case and others, Mr. Holder plans to argue that federal law should employ a lesser standard than is currently the practice in civil rights cases, so that worthy 'social justice' principles might be vindicated. The rule of law and outmoded concepts like 'proof beyond a reasonable doubt,' or producing actual evidence that fulfills the necessary elements of crimes must be changed or ignored so that 'white Hispanics' like George Zimmerman may be prosecuted regardless of the law and the facts . . ." ... |

Where "facts" - established in public court - and media narrative conflict, bet on the media. This won't change until, and unless, serious legal liability exists for media staff and executives knowingly falsifying or altering the evidence or presentation thereof.
In the cited case the media blatantly falsified/altered the facts and circumstances and evidence. Their (proven false) "narrative of the facts" was supported by a racist USAG, in turn supported by the POTUS. The USG continued its persecution of the defendant years after he was exonerated in trial.
Makes one wonder if we're a "nation of laws" or - as this administration seems to demonstrate - a "nation of lawlessness" ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
