On Thursday, July 11, police discovered the rotting body of 17-year-old Darryl Green, a black child from the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. Green’s body was found behind a boarded-up house in the 6500-block of South Damen, face down on basement stairs. The body was so badly decomposed that originally, local news reports suggested that he had died of blunt force trauma. On Friday, an autopsy showed he had been shot to death. Relatives reported that Green had refused to join a gang at school.
Chicago just seems to be overrun with gang violence. Very sad.
Well, since there's no suspects yet, especially a white person or light-skinned person, then I imagine Al Sharpton and Obama will both hold their accusatory tongues for now.
Yeah, so? I want justice for Trayvon Martin and Darryl Green, why does concern over one case exclude the importance of the other?
I am so over all of this tip toeing around the issues. Gloves are off. The problem in the black community is the black community. Darryl Green was black and murdered by blacks. The Martin case was a distraction from the hundreds of innocent young black men murdered every year because they don't want to be criminals. Trayvon Martin was a criminal. He was a thief and a druggy.
He waited for four minutes less than a hundred yards from his own front door and safety so he could jump the smaller "creepy cracker" and give him the beat down that thugs reserve for all of us. Once on the much smaller Zimmerman he pounded on him with both fists while Zimmerman's head rebounded from the side walk. He would have beaten Zimmerman unconscious or to death in a short time.
I am not happy Zimmerman shot him but Martin got his justice at the end of a violent attack. If the law had been fair to Martin he would have been in jail for the crimes he committed in Miami, but there was no justice there just coddling.
Now we will all be treated to the kind of justice that seems to follow any time the Race Baiters like Al Sharpton do not get their way. Riots and violence. Black on white violence, something that happens all the time and still is under reported. Yes there is a race problem in America. That there are people who still think it is all about Race rather than about moral conduct.
Obama's own FBI investigated Zimmerman and reported that there had been no racial component to the events. I disagree, Trayvon was more than willing to make it about race by calling Zimmerman a "cracker" and then beating on him.
Chew on that. Darryl Green deserved better because he was a human being and he was brave enough to say no but people of his own color treated him worse than Zimmerman treated Martin. They slaughtered Darryl Green in cold blood and left his body to rot.
"Trayvon Martin was a criminal. He was a thief and a druggy".
Charged, tried and executed by Zimmerman, right
He doing nothing that night to merit the surveillance and stalking, regardless of the propaganda you spew.
I said that ALL crime needs to be properly prosecuted, and I am not ignoring anyone or any source of that crime. I will "chew on it" but spit it back at ya.
Apparently Darryl Green is far less important to Al Sharpton, could it be because there is no "creepy cracker" with a white name involved?
So, you're kinda hung up on this 'creepy cracka" thing. Looking at Zimmmerman, I think that the description was accurate from the standpoint of a 17 year old kid. Do you want some stranger following you around at night without identifying himself?
I am sure when they find out who it was they will convict that guy and give him a long sentence, If he is black anyway.

I have to wonder where Jesse, Al and the rest were when two black teens shot an 18 month old baby while he slept in a stroller. The pair tried to rob the baby's mother at gun point but she had no cash on her, so they shot a defenseless infant to death as he slept.
Where was the MSM and the black 'leaders' condemning this horrific act?
I have never been one to tip toe around this issue and I am not about to start now.

If Martin's hand was covering Zimmerman's mouth as he claims, wouldn't the screams have sounded muffled? Zimmerman's DNA wasn't found on Martin's hands so was it Zimmerman or Martin screaming?
