Trayvon is Attacked Again

The justice system can only do its work if the charges are aired in a court of law. If there is not probable cause to hold Zimmerman over for trial, then... Well, it seems to me there is more than enough probable cause. That being said as each day goes on, tempers burn hotter and there is definite push back coming from the right and from law enforcement now. Every racist in America is going to say race is not the issue and should have no bearing in this case, though it clearly has already dirtied the entire police effort, and so has great bearing. One thing seems relatively certain no matter how this plays out; race is indeed in the issue, especially in Sanford, Fl. Does that mean Zimmerman gunned down Trayvon in cold blood? No, but it is fair to say that it does not preclude it either. Either way there is still a distinct possibility that the case was handled by a white establishment that was afraid of, or for whatever reason wanted to hide the truth? It is almost certain that whatever happened in confrontation, there would have been none of it, if Zimmerman had just followed police orders and the general principles of neighborhood watch, which is that you watch. Do not confront, and do not approach. The Police investigation was a disaster which at minimum did not lead to the community having a fair appreciation of the facts. For me, my anger at the circumstances are equal parts directed at what Zimmerman did, especially his refusal to stand down when asked to by police, and the horrific way the case was handled by the police. Even in death the Police treated Trayvon, a 17 year old boy, like a criminal. The sensationalist response to the shocking notion a 17 year old may have used pot is a further criminalization of the victim and continues the pattern which seemingly was established on the day Trayvon was killed.  
Trayvon gets drug screened, Zimmerman is not. Zimmerman’s story is taken at face value, or minimally backed up by whoever came forward to corroborate. Those that challenged Zimmerman’s story were discounted or ignored. Zimmerman goes home with the clothes he was wearing during the altercation making further forensic examination impossible.  Zimmerman’s previous record including an assault on a police officer is not examined before he is released, his story accepted as the whole cloth of truth.
I believe danger is growing that that anger could boil over in violence and all sides need to do what they can to avoid that. Justice is justice, and so far there is no justice for Trayvon, and what is being leaked now is clearly aimed at twisting the story in one direction. A "watchman" has stepped forward and claims Trayvon was the aggressor that immediately after the confrontation Trayvon flattened him with one punch and started banging is head against the ground. This owuld fit with the story of head wounds Zimmerman apparently had. Then there is the issue of what happened in the Martin house after Trayvon went for tea at halftime and never came back. What went on in the Martin home in those hours, until the next morning when the Police came to tell Mr. Martin his son was dead. The Marijuana story is a red herring, designed only to turn people against Trayvon. Perhaps all the potheads should come to church this Sunday to show that POT should not be cause for violent reaction just as so many came this weekend to make a similar statement about hoodies. The pot angle has zero practical bearing on the violent confrontation. America should shut it all out and demand what was right from the beginning: Arrest and trial. All of what is leaked and sneaked now matters little. When people speak in a court of law, I’ll accept it. Until then it’s one version or another of propaganda. The family has said all along that they wanted the facts to come out in court. Seems right to me.
