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.

Years ago a man in Portsmouth, VA told me something that validates your scenario.
The man was legally transporting his 9mm pistol, having placed it on his dashboard in plain sight without the mag, which was on the seat next to him.
He stopped at a traffic signal and was suddenly set upon by a group of predators. They surrounded him and tried all of his doors which were locked, then one yewt tried to stomp the windscreen out as the others banged on the car body, which would for most folks (and me) create a climate of extreme fear.
The would be victim reached for his pistol and inserted the magazine. He looked around and then asked himself, "Where did they go?"
Yes my friend, in the time it took for him to look down for the mag and slam it home the the high spirited lads vanished as if in a heavily promoted David Copperfield event!
Needless to say his theory about personal empowerment was validated that day and without firing a shot.
Now, for the benefit of the 4nicators who insist on projecting evil intentions on Zimmerman, allow me to write a paragraph detailing what I know happened before Zimmerman fired his sidearm:
Beginning here:[
] The end.
I don't know diddly about the events that led to a fatal shooting because I wasn't there. And those who wish to conjure their own facts would not want to be judged by jurors who discard facts in evidence then substitute their own prejudices.
As I said before, this may be one of the worst examples of justifiable homicide I know of. And, like it or not, even a nigger hatin' son of a bitch has the right to defend his life, even if the dead man recognized that he was being monitored by a racist who "deserved a ass whuppin' for not lovin us!". LET'S ALL SING!
We're non violent niggas, we're peace luvin' bruthas...dem white folks better luv us OR WE'RE GONNA KILL DEM ROTTEN MUTHAS!"
Whites in America are so beaten down with guilt (a remnant of post Civil War Reconstruction) that it paralyzes them. And many not too intelligent blacks believe they can summarily punish whites for our skin color. Some blacks are so stupid that they don't know that under certain circs they can forfeit their lives, which is exactly what Trayvon Martin did.
The simple truth that no one has yet said is, (1) even a nigger hatin' son of a bitch can volunteer for Neighborhood Watch, and any black who instinctively senses that a watch volunteer is wise to blacks' predisposition to crime should not assume that he can punish that white volunteer, because it could result in the death of the black. (2) If Martin attacked Zimmerman in the mistaken belief that Reconstruction never ended, then he foolishly and fatally validated the fact that he had criminal tendencies in general and a propensity for violence against whites in particular, right?
"How so?", some will incredulously ask.
There was only one surviving witness and no one to dispute his statement, and no physical evidence to contradict his account.
To those who wish to retry the case here at 4 I say, I feel your pain I really really do.
But the two conclusions above would not be unreasonable for a jury to agree upon, especially if any jurors were also wise to the threat that blacks represent to any white caught in dangerous circs. This includes the simple misfortune of blowing a tire near the wrong neighborhood at the time of day when creatures of the night awaken, looking for the means to burn off the sugars they consumed (COCO PUFFS, LUCKY CHARMS, etc.,.) before crashing at the end of their shift at 4 AM or thereabout.

I'm thinking you oughta get a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for your honesty there.

Right and I don't think I've done that. If you do, please point me to it. A Vulcan Death Grip joke was invented but not by me -- to discard relevant facts in evidence as to Zimmerman's Military service/training per his own statements. Projecting evil intentions and actions that night onto Trayvon for which there is no evidence amounts to substituting prejudice for facts and lots of people have been ok with that while objecting to any reservations about Zimmerman as bias and such. Scrutiny, skepticism and assessing motives of the defendant charged with killing someone isn't the same as that, imo. It's par for the judicial course. Disagreeing with the verdict based on the evidence isn't a denial of societal and racial problems here and conflating this case as if it's a microcosm of all that to divide Americans against one another further is not helping matters. It is making them worse and wantonly endangering others more in the process over misplaced faith, pride, retribution, etc. What we can know happened by research verification is that Zimmerman's story has been marketed as if fact and insistently substituted as evidence but even his own recitals don't support it.
