Al Sharpton readies his tropical suits, high-humidity hair treatments and tunes up the bullhorn.
"The National Action Network is organizing the protests at federal court buildings to press the Justice Department to bring a civil rights case against George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in the death of teenager Trayvon Martin by a Florida jury on Saturday.
Sharpton said his National Action Network intends to keep the pressure on until a civil rights case is brought, insisting the protests will show the national anger over the verdict is not a “two- or three-day” thing.
“It’s not over. And we are going to make sure it’s not over......." - PoliticoAs far back as March 2012, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece criticized the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson for politicizing the Trayvon Martin shooting and leveraging racial tensions to rile up Americans.
“I would believe that, by stirring up all of the emotions and reactions, I wanted to encourage them to remember the man that they say that they followed, to remember that his message was nonviolence and very loving, referencing her late uncle. She added that she wanted to encourage Jackson and Sharpton “to talk about nonviolence and not to incite people with that race card that they are very good at playing."
So much for Dr. King's Legacy......
So While Everyone is Milking the Lillies Over the Zimmerman Aftermath…
"William Burns, US Deputy Secretary of State, flew to Egypt, the first US official to go to Egypt since the ouster of Muslim Brotherhood and former President Morsi on 3 July, and tries to set up a meeting with the radical Islamist Nour Party.
True, they told him to go pound sand, but it makes one wonder why Obama is trying to meet with Islamists.
But ignore the fact that the so-called President is secretly attempting to support radical Islamists, a ‘white hispanic’ was just found not guilty of murdering a poor little innocent black child. Sure, hundreds of black children are killed each year in Chicago alone, and no one cares, this one was super duper special." - Talk StraightOnly in America do white people get threatened with mass violence because a Hispanic man was acquitted of murder.

Zimmerman Lawyer to Proceed with Case against NBC News
The Washington Post
Last night’s not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial will enable the neighborhood-watch volunteer to resume his case against NBC News for the mis-editing of his widely distributed call to police. Back in December, Zimmerman sued NBC Universal Media for defamation over the botched editing, which depicted him as a hardened racial profiler. [...]
NBC Universal Media responded to the Zimmerman complaint by noting that other media outlets played up the racial angle of Zimmerman’s deadly encounter with Trayvon Martin.
The company also noted the pivotal nature of the second-degree murder case: “[I]f Zimmerman is convicted, that fact alone will constitute substantial evidence that the destruction of his reputation is the result of his own criminal conduct, and not of the broadcasts at issue which, like countless other news reports disseminated by media entities throughout the country, reported on the underlying events.”
That formulation is now null.Read More
