In other news about how a case supposedly unrelated to race is anything but, video of a riot from 2011 related to the Stanley Cup was deliberately and falsely labeled as Miami in 2013. It is indeed a case of media falsehood, but as it's related to the victim of the shooting instead of the shooter one predicts the relative outrage to this to be about five minutes of sound and fury signifying nothing. This is not the first time that people identified with 'liberalism' have been accused of time-travel, as I well remember that scene of the person taking a dump on the American flag who was claimed to have done it in one year when the actual video was from years beforehand. But this case is not about race, not at all. Just as Brutus was an honorable man.

This thing on the Facebook told me I could get car insurance for .50 cents a month through an amazing loophole. Should I believe it?

Afterward!!!? You should make shares in your Saharan Cruise Line venture mandatory before purchasing the car insurance.

Sadly the riot videos can now only be seen if you look up the Vancouver riots but this video was pretty disgusting:

George Zimmerman's Brother Calls Trayvon Martin A Gun-Running Dope Fiend. (http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhi85d2IX6Dr6ZdbEb)

Yeah, the unarmed kid with skittles gets shot but the brother of the shooter has to toss crap out there about Travon supposedly trying to "procure a gun" and grow dope.

Zimmerman may not do any jail time, but I think he and his family would be wise to keep their racist mouths shut. Just saying.

Spike Lee is advised to do the same. (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/11/Spike-Lee-s-2012-Tweet-of-Incorrect-Address-of-Zimmerman-Haunts-Elderly-Couple-Again)

Let's see he apologized and paid the couple compensation. Hmmm. That's totes like making up stuff about a dead kid. Except its not.

Something he'd have never have had to do if he hadn't been trying to make them a target of harassment and possibly get them lynched in the first place.

Spike Lee is a hateful racist little man who is given a free-pass by the left simply because of his skin color.

That was pure speculation and racial profiling.

Being followed at night by a stranger in a car who then gets out and comes in my direction? I'm sure we'd all react in a variety of ways without needing to accuse us of being on Purple Drank.

The rational people would try and get to a safer location, like maybe the house they're supposed to be going to that's only 80 yards away, where you'd have some other people around to help you out.

If there had been white kids who had been previously been in the neighborhood robbing homes, then yes, I have no doubt he would have done the same thing.

There was also a picture of the massive crowds from the Golden Gate Bridge 50th anniversary going around, and it was captioned as if it was a mass of people out there supporting Trayvon.

Somewhere, some dude who made that picture with that caption knew what they were doing. I wanna know: what the hell was that person trying to prove?

I can't imagine what it must be like to be the parent of a black teenaged boy today, in the wake of this verdict. It must be terrifying.

Levar Burton just recently posted a video about how he's told his kids exactly how they must talk and act if ever approached by police, so that they don't get killed.

Just replace "ass kicked" with "shot dead"

and "police" with 'neighborhood watch mall cop wannabe"

Indeed. Most of the more eloquent yet saddening commentary I have seen expressed has come from the parents of children of color. I wish I could console them.

Americans prefer myth to the real thing. That is why they are so infatuated with mythical popular sovereignty.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
