in an attempt to shut down any attempt to get GZ charged for
murder.

(8,224 posts)I have seen much more than the usual number of black people locally wearing hoodies, and it is really quite warm here, it will hit 90 in a few days... This is not something anyone is doing to keep warm here. I drive through Eatonville every day. I only go to Sanford once in a while, but I will bet it is heating up. There are lots more reasons than Trayvon for folks to be irritated in Sanford. Portions of that town are and have been economically depressed for decades. This may have lit the fuse for something really ugly.

Here is the article in the Tampa Bay Times about the frozen turkey and the other turkey Schnitt:

(10,942 posts)Sharpton has been clear on three points. First, there CANNOT be any violence. Sharpton called out the black panthers on his show for putting a bounty on Zimmerman. Second, the circumstances of Trayvon Martin's death were not properly investigated by Sanford police and that all information released by police favored Zimmerman. Third, an external investigation of Martin's killing and the Sanford police was required to get to the truth, where ever the truth leads.
Anyone saying that Sharpton is inciting violence is a blowheart and moron. Sharpton has not, is not and doesn't seem to be intrested in violence.

Amazing how they don't have any ideas of their own; they just march in lockstep with the latest talking point from their masters. This week, it's fire Al Sharpton.

He fought the fight in Sanford with the heavy heart of his mother passing.
Justice isn't always neat and tidy, but folks will not stop until justice is served. It really is quite simple.
If Zimmerman walks free, the elevated tension level is something that will not fade away and it will not just reside in Sanford.
