Zimmerman’s Trial/ Second LIfe/ Danger in Internet Chats


       Today July 12th, 2013, George Zimmerman‘s trial will hit the six female jurors for a decision. But before it does, I would like to make my comments on the situation and the case in general and in some specifics.

While in bad neighborhoods across America and the world , people formed watch groups to prevent crime in their areas, not all walk around with guns in their belts. But that said, Zimmerman had a license to carry a firearm for the purpose of protection so no biggie there. Secondly, there is no law preventing anyone from watching anyone else from a safe distance and reporting what they see or are worried about.  This is America and freedom is a right earned.  That  said, lets look at the actual case and someone prove to me, how you know George Zimmerman started the fiasco that killed Trayvon Martin? Now let me state it clearly, no one knows whether Zimmerman approached Martin or vice versa, which makes a sad case of no proof for the prosecution.  Trayvon’s injuries show he was on top of Zimmerman, his knees and arms are scraped. In the meantime, Zimmerman’s head was bounced off the pavement at least six times. his nose was broken, and the Doctors all said the same, Zimmerman did not get a hit in on Martin. But the facts are what will determine the result of the case in a court. Six women will get the case to decide on whether Martin attack Zimmerman or the other way around and did Zimmerman do right or wrong when that pistol went off? Before the decision is heard or even put to the jury in this case, I would like to state an important factor here, there is no racial factor here it seems, because Zimmerman is hispanic and Martin African American. But imagine if you would if this was a white man who shot a black boy! Would a racial war start in America if the man was not convicted. probably.  It does go to prove that racial profiling, discrimination and prejudice have no place in America and should be put aside for we are all human, all alive and we all bleed, hurt and die. Interesting point is it not?

        Next Rant so to say, yesterday I was on the internet in Second Life minding my own and mentioning that I blog daily and that I completed my blog for the day. Sadly, I was told I am a drooling, old coot who blogs daily and nothing else and it led to me defending myself and then reporting it to the clubs owner. Sadly, the person said it, doesn’t know of my 16 years in the military, my serving in three different branches or my injuries from doing so, like PTSD, Sleep Apnea  and six bad discs in my spine, three in my lower back and three in my neck. Nor did they understand the power of the written and spoken word it seems. But that has all passed now it was yesterday and settled, today is a new world and day. But before you judge anyone you do not know, be careful, you may be attacking someone who saved your ass in time of peace and war.

         I live my life today asa Disabled Veteran who can’t do too much in real life and in Second Life I refuse to get into relationships with the opposite sex, for the mind is a thing no one should mess with, and you don’t know if they can handle the emotional commitment or abuse you may give out. I don’t recommend going into Second Life or any other chat program and making relationships with people you have no idea who they may be period. Sadly, it can get them destroyed mentally  emotionally or even physically if it goes beyond the Internet, so be careful folks.

 

Trayvon Martin, Justice


Lets discuss something, I find a problem with America, its media arm so to say. As we all know, media is going electric data route like all things these day, which to me is fine if it happens. On the other hand, magazines are dying out because of the price raises of them, these days and the average income of the American Household.

         Television is today the ruler of the media age, but for how long  with some of its bias views of issues and people. Almost every story is colored by some bias and more, stories that flash across CNN, Fox, and more all are colored by the stations political lean, or the newscasters view on a personal basis Some are pushed by racist announcers and newscaster while others do it out of fear for their jobs, and the racist comments allowed and the actions of certain people can cause great harm to America.

       Trayvon’s case, may have been a crime, or it may have been what Zimmerman said it was? Only time and a full and fair investigation can prove that.  The New Black Panthers have no business in this and will only make it a larger issue, and they have no business in putting a bounty on a man’s head. Violence will only beget violence Martin Luther King said and I agree. We must all live in America no matter the color, nationality, race we may be, it is a Republic not a Communistic country, nor do we allow such tactics here.

       The Trayvon Martin Case has parents of all colors, nationalities and races, protecting their own children and working overtime to keep them safe now. This case does not affect just blacks, it affects all races and colors in America. Why was a man who is a volunteer for a block watch team carrying a weapon that was fully loaded? How can anyone say a child of seventeen attacked this full-grown man, after being followed by him causing his own death? Isn’t a full-grown man the size of George Zimmerman big enough to stop a seventeen year old from attacking him without a gun? Many questions come up in the case and I am sure given the time, the truth shall come out if legal authorities are allowed to do their job. The New Black Panthers aren’t needed here in this case, nor wanted by the Martin’s, Trayvon’s family. They don’t want revenge, they want justice is all and the Justice System needs time to do its job.

        Like all Americans and parents around the world, we empathize with the Martin family on their lost, and feel the pain of it. The color of our skin does not matter it is a child that is killed and gone, we all feel the same. Yet groups like The New Black Panthers come out and put a bounty on a man’s head and talk like they will kill him if they can. We don’t need organizations like the New Black Panthers, or any others who speak of an eye for an eye as a solution. What we need is peaceful solutions and a country united in finding the truth.
