A huge new mural called “We Are All Trayvon Martin” was unveiled in the Florida State Capitol.
It was created by a Miami artist who is clearly very sympathetic towards Martin.
Titled, “We Are All Trayvon Martin,” the painting shows Zimmerman firing a gun at a hoodie-wearing figure. The painting features a mirror to signify that the shooting could have happened to anyone. There is also an image of Martin Luther King Jr. with blood trickling down his head.
Artist Huong unveiled the creation during a sit-in to protest Florida’s so-called “stand your ground” law. (Stand your ground had absolutely nothing to do with this case. Effin' idiot).
Poster Comment:
Alternate title: George Zimmerman now set for another defamation suit against an alleged "artist" who has to know better. At least if she had paid any attention at all to the trial she would have. The man was found NOT GUILTY and for good reason. He was attacked and defended himself. Case closed.
George Zimmerman should sue the "artist" as well as whoever approved putting this pos in the Capitol Building. I hope he sues their asses and breaks them from doing stuff like this.
There needs to be a response to this kind of cheap demagoguery.
I haven't figured out what it is yet. Maybe an animation vid of two blacks beating a white guy within an inch of his life with a hammer and stealing his car.

What about a mural of those poor, innocent Trayvon's (three of the rat bastards) beating the white kid up on the bus about a month ago? Surely that deserves a mural too?
There is an excess of generosity in this country to put it mildly.
Reginald Oliver Denny (born January 22, 1956), 36 years old at the time, was a construction truck driver. On the first day of the rioting, Denny was attacked by four men, pulled from his truck and brutally beaten, sustaining serious head injuries and other injuries. As a result of the injuries he suffered during the attacks, Denny had to undergo years of rehabilitative therapy, and his speech and ability to walk were permanently damaged.[1]
After the 1993 trial of his assailants, he appeared on the Phil Donahue Show to shake hands with one of the assailants, Henry Keith Watson, after he apologized to Denny for the attacks. Denny largely avoids the media and rarely speaks about his ordeal. As of 2007, he works independently as a boat motor mechanic in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where he moved after an unsuccessful lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.[1]
Henry Keith "Kiki" Watson was a 27-year-old former U.S. Marine and an ex- convict who had served time for robbery. After his release from prison, he married, had children, and was working two jobs. According to Williams, Watson was known around the neighborhood as a "gentleman"[citation needed]. After he was freed from jail in 1993, he appeared on The Phil Donahue Show and apologized to Denny for the attacks. Later, he would serve three years in prison for a narcotics conviction. Fifteen years after the attacks, Watson said during an interview: "Nobody specifically sought out Reginald Denny to cause him any harm. We got caught up in the moment, just like everyone else." As of 2007, Watson still lives in Los Angeles and operates his own limousine service.
It's too bad he didn't have a street sweeper shotgun or an AK or SKS in his truck. Or a 357 magnum handgun. If he had and shot the first one that tried to open his door the rest of them would probably have heard mama calling them and run right on home to see what mama needed.

My friend, it's too bad that he stopped his truck at a stoplight when a riot was in progress, and perhaps more importantly that he failed to routinely lock his doors. (My duties in LA required two trips to LAX daily and my doors were always locked)
Perhaps he expected to be judged on the content of his character (after a skilled field interview by would be attackers) and not simply brain injured because of his color and his callously availing himself of white skin privilege by working, both punishable offenses when a certain urban demographic knew that the police wouldn't intervene.
He'd have done better to roll on through the intersection with his air horn warning that any who blocked his escape would be ignored.
The rioters would have had no reason to assume that a trucker would hold their lives in higher regard than they did his. Of course most whites in LA are weak and easy to intimidate and plunder. But the nig...I mean, African Americans would also have known about people like "Charlie Chuckles" Manson, "Bobby" Beausoleil, Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono. Who would bet their lives that the aforementioned would stop a vehicle to avoid hitting one or more excitable homies in the hood during a spontaneous support rally for Rodney King?

An excellent post DAWG. I agree with every jot and tittle of that. He still suffers to this day from what they did to him. I would have run over a bunch of homeboys if it had been me in that truck, either that or shot one of them and watch the rest beating feet to urgent bidness elsewhere.
