"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.

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 |
| In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |
