Harriet:

Just wondering...Isn't the New Black Panther's order concerning Zimmerman a terroristic threat???
Why are they called the NEW Black Panthers? They sound like the old ones to me.

If Zimmerman would have answered this teen when he asked him 'why are you following me' and said "I'm a neighborhood watch and just don't know you" then that might have defused the situation. Men just don't communicate!

But I disagree with your overall thoughts on this in regard to the teens right to attack the guy following him. So much so that after listening to you several months this is my first time to your site or to contact you. I may not listen to you after this because you are not seeing both sides of this. Both sides may be wrong but you are sticking up for a teen, walking in a neighborhood not his own, after dark and dressed in a way that looks suspicious to most of us (including me).

Several years ago I heard some black folks asked who would cause you most suspicion on a dark street at night. And the number one scenario was an unknown young black male, and more so if there were 2 or 3. You can ignore the facts if you want to, but a young black male is suspect because of the record we have with young black males. That is backed up by the percentage of black males in the prison system IT IS WHAT IT IS.

had Travon NOT been suspended for pot, he wouldn't have been in that neighborhood in the first place. Its as relevant as Zimmerman not backing off at the 911 operators SUGGESTION;)

I can't say I've ever agreed with you, but for the first time I do on the issue of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. I see your colleagues and compatriots declaring self defense or a tragic accident, and I've heard Zimmerman's tale. But then Mr. Martin is no longer alive to give his story. The only reason this is being defended is not racism, its them defending their own right to a gun because they know the implications these cases have. They don't care that he was a grown man stalking a child, they care that it could lead to stricter gun control laws, and one teenager's life is irrelevant to them if it stands in the way of them owning an arsenal.

Lynn,

I'm glad that you allowed Milton Hensley on to talk about the Ma and Pa Feguson's old home place. There are people trying to get the project underway but it's been a slow go apparently. I hope Milton's call stirs the pot somewhat and the people who can really help the Temple Parks Foundation get the project going. It was featured on a news blog out of Austin last year at http://austin.ynn.com/content/top_stori ... -disrepair

Thanks for letting Milton bring this subject to the forum.

Lynn...I join the chorus who disagree with you regarding the Martin case..
While it's tragic anyone gets killed, Zimmerman was defending his self..
Martin did not live in the community where he was shot..
Zimmerman was rightfully suspicious..

The photo of Martin the media circulates is of a 13 year old Martin..
Media does not mention his 'gangsta' ties..
The 'kid' was 6'3" tall..He wrongfully attacked Zimmerman..

Should you as you say you would, attack someone just because they are
following you, (do you really know they're following) you are guilty of assault..
Just turn and ask why they seem to be following..If they have any motive of
harm, it will be quickly obvious...THEN you can defend yourself..

You seem to knock other for their comments while thinking they know nothing
of the case, while you in turn do the same thing..

Read some news at the above link that the MSM has not reported..
And while it may not be "revelant" to the case, it puts the kid in a different light
than the MSM has put out..

I think all cities and towns should do a self-assessment of their neighborhood watch program. I did a search for "neighborhood watch" in the Copperas Cove Code of City Ordnances and found nothing. There is a sign in my neighborhood for a neighborhood watch, but I'm not sure what their duties and responsibities are. If city governments are going to allow them to exist, there needs to be some guidelines. I truly believe anytime a life is lost, whatever the circumstances, it's a tragedy.

Sincerely,

Who do you think is more qualified to figure out what happened? The police who originally responded or people who investigate a month later under pressure?

I think most of your listeners are merely upset with the mainstream media and their portrayal of Zimmerman as a racist and Travon as a young model citizen.

Most people i knew originally thought Zimmerman was a out of control hothead, but thats because thats what the media WANTED us to think.

Zimmerman's past was brought up many times. He was a cop want to be. He dialed 911 a lot. Although not as much as was first reported. So its only natural to bring up Travon's past.

The cops on the scene had a witness and concluded it was self defense.

But i will keep listening, if only for Barracks logic;)

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today concerning what is likely the most important issue of my lifetime, and all anyone can talk about is this shooting in Florida. Tragic, terrible things happen all over the country, every single day. The fact that Obama, Sharpton, and Jackson decided to jump in with race cards a-flying doesn't make this incident any more tragic or terrible. Neither is the fact that the victim was black. Is this really national news? I'm sorry, no, it's not.

I know this is a tragedy, but can we please move on.

Martin's Tweets Published. David Martosko, in the Daily Caller (3/26) reported that the DC "has obtained a compilation of the late Trayvon Martin's tweets. ... Martin tweeted under the handle 'NO_LIMIT_NIGGA,' an account that was closed shortly after his death."

This article is from an official government web-site.

Lynn,

My main question about the case of the 17 year old in Florida and the Zimmerman guy-
When did the gun that did the shooting appear ?

If the boy had such a power hold on the man and had him on the ground ,How did the man get into a position to shoot his weapon? Was it in a holster ,a pocket or was it in sight when he walked upon the kid ?

“Obama’s Latest Outrage of the Day”

by Donna Garner

3.27.12



The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was passed into law by Congress in 1996 and says that the federal government cannot recognize state-sanctioned relationships between people of the same gender.



DOMA also allows states to refuse to recognize relationships between people of the same gender even if those relationships were legally formed in another state. Therefore, if a particular state votes to make marriage legal, other states do not have to recognize that marriage; and “same-sex married couples cannot take advantage of the 1,100 federal laws that confer rights, benefits, and protections to married heterosexual couples -- such as Social Security spousal survivor and retirement benefits, the ability to file joint tax returns, and qualification for special estate planning benefits.” ( http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/ ... a-act.html )



Obama, however, has decided to ignore DOMA and the fact that Congress has passed it into law. Obama’s latest “Outrage of the Day” is that Blue Cross/Blue Shield has been instructed to cover the same-sex spouse of a federal employee.



Obama is doing everything he can to play up to his Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender base while at the same time trying to bankrupt private health insurance companies so that eventually all Americans will be tied to Obama’s federal government single-payer program. If that were to happen, each of us would be totally dependent upon the federal government for our own personal healthcare; and Obama and his crowd could decide when we live or when we die.





Is this upcoming election important? Is it important to oust Obama from the White House before he manages to spread his liberal-left ideological tentacles into every area of our personal lives?



Do we want to be mandated to pay for other people’s abortions? Do we want to be forced to pay for Sandra Fluke’s and other people’s illicit sexual activities? How about the increase of sexually transmitted diseases and the high costs associated with the unhealthy activities practiced by the LGBT community? Do we taxpayers want to be forced to pay for that?



We certainly cannot count on Romney to stand up to Obama on ObamaCare when Romney created its twin sister -- RomneyCare!



Is it important for health insurance companies such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield to invest their time and money to elect Rick Santorum to lead this country, repeal ObamaCare, and return moral and ethical integrity to the White House?



Do all of us have an obligation to drive Obama out of the White House and replace him with Santorum who understands the common man and the fact that ObamaCare if allowed to go forward will bankrupt our entire country?



The answer seems pretty obvious to me. – Donna Garner

"Obama may be reelected, but he can’t give away the store if Republicans control Congress."

This statement really doesn't inspire any confidence in me.
