Title: New Mural In Florida’s Capitol Building Shows Zimmerman Shooting Trayvon Martin

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.

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.

Yes, and here is a good article about Reginald Denny too.

www.time.com/time/special...1614084_1614511%2C00.html

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.

All these people wanting "Justice for Trayvon" are not racists, some of them might be, but many of them are only going on what they have heard in the established media and for that reason they think that Zimmerman shot Trayvon just for being black and out at night. Some of these people probably have faced real discrimination in their lives and can readily believe that Zimmerman was only following Trayvon because he was black. I highly doubt that is the case with Zimmerman, but when you only get slanted news to go by, combined with personal instances of racism directed at you, then I can understand why they would think Trayvon was murdered. The media is knowingly using propaganda combined with physiological profiling of blacks to try to cause riots. If we can't break through the lies of the media and get the truth out about many important issues, then this country is finished, if it isn't already. Lies and the ability of people to readily accept those lies from government institutions and established mass media outlets, are some of this nation's biggest threats to its survival. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics and Asians can all live together peacefully if the truth is reported instead of lies on constant basis. Those that rule over us have an incentive to keep us divided with lies, it takes the focus off of them, the number one trouble makers in this nation.

No Fair! The painting is a work of creative PsyOps fiction, and the picture of Reginald Denny (who was just driving his truck through da 'hood) is reality.

The Twin Lakes Retreat Neighborhood Watch group is apparently unregistered, with HOA standards of its own, but its Homeowners Association President agrees with the Training Program not to act as the police. Some sources on that and Zimmerman being off-duty:

latimes.com:

His lawyers have indicated that they will pursue a self-defense strategy, arguing that Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who was off-duty, was protecting himself in a confrontation with the teenager.

George Zimmerman not a member of recognized neighborhood watch organization

When 28-year-old George Zimmerman was discovered by Sanford, Florida police standing over the body of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, they accepted Zimmerman’s claim that he killed in self-defense as a neighborhood watch captain. Now, through a statement released by the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) — the parent organization of USAonWatch-Neighborhood Watch — it has been revealed that Zimmerman was not a member of any group recognized by the organization. Zimmerman violated the central tenets of Neighborhood Watch by following Martin, confronting him and carrying a concealed weapon.

Very very interesting information. I am well informed about neighborhood watch programs and usually when a person is involved with such a program, they are registered and recognized by that agency as well as local police departments, sheriffs, and their neighborhood.

Dorival, a civilian with the Sanford police department, was volunteering as a coordinator because she believed in neighborhood watch programs. She would do presentations to those wanting to start such programs. She said she is still at the police department but in a different position.

Dorival testified that in fall 2011, she visited Zimmerman and other residents at the housing complex to discuss setting up a watch program. During her testimony, prosecutor Guy focused on her instructions to residents about how to behave when they spotted a suspicious person.

“Their duty is to be the eyes and ears. Report crime as they see it,” said Dorival, adding that she provided handouts stressing this and also explained it verbally during the meeting. Zimmerman was there as the neighborhood watch coordinator, a role he told Dorival had been assigned him by the president of the homeowners' association.

This case is an example of why the State Militias should be in charge of Neighborhood Watch patrols, imo.
