It amazes me just how simple the human being
is becoming. I’ve stumbled across yet another firestorm of media influenced
hype in the form of race baiting, and you guessed it, the slums are up in arms
again, and yet again they're riding the wave of the “stand your ground laws” of Florida. This time
the problem has to do with the laws as they apply directly to the logic behind –
what is now – yet another high profile race war brewing in the same state that
saw liberals and spinsters attempt to wildly skew the facts of the George
Zimmerman case. This is your government and it's media fanboys at work yet again folks.
If you’ve followed the media at all over the
past couple of months, I am sure you’ve heard the story of the incident
involving a man and a vehicle of young boys, all of who were involved in an argument
while parked at a stop light in front of a convenient store somewhere in
Jacksonville FL. Michael
Dunn, a 47-year-old software developer, could face 60 years in prison following
his conviction Saturday on multiple counts of attempted murder for shooting
into a carful of teenagers outside of a Jacksonville convenience store in 2012.
Jordan Davis was killed in the shooting, but the jury couldn't reach a verdict
on the first-degree murder charge against Dunn. A mistrial was declared on that
count.
Now
that you have the back-story, I'll get to the point. My point of contention with
the aftermath of this trial comes in the form of my disbelief of certain
statements made and opinions shared about the situation, and the spinning of
what would otherwise be meaningless and/or completely arbitrary points, by
groups of individuals whose job it seems to be, to paint pictures of
individuals such as Travon Martin and Jordan Davis and the situations
surrounding their cases, that are not entirely honest. This is what I like to call, "The Great Divide" - the attempt on the the part of a government influenced media, to tear apart the social fabric by presenting obscure versions of actual stories. This agenda serves to pit individuals against each other, therefore strengthening the mission of the government - to promote the need for a big government - by tearing citizens apart based on strategically placed, and previously unknown prejudices put in place by the media. Disgust aside, I can’t
help but feel a certain amount of pity for the human species – or at least
those who seem to be functioning at a lower level than others – and the idea
that these are the types of individuals who tend to make up the majority masses
of this country is terrifying. Is this what we are coming to America? Is this
the greatest nation on earth, who wallows in its own pity, disparages its
producers and supports those who remain mentally incapable and completely
inadequate by choice with programs that keep them addicted to government
programs? This was Obamas base, was it not? And what was the offer he made
them? Free this and free that. Well, the problem is, someone has to come up
with the money to support those who produce nothing, and take everything expectantly.
Enter the Travon Martin case, during this public debacle we were borated by the government agenda drive media and it’s co conspirators,
with images which portrayed Martin as a soft, youthful child, skittles and sprite
in hand, harmlessly sporting a hoodie – this coupled with all matter of
propaganda that would attempt to make us believe that Martin was far from the
actual individual he was – imposing, 6 ft 3 inches, mentally disturbed, and the
documented trouble maker and lawbreaker that he was. Neglected were the facts
that he had in his possession, the ingredients for making “sizzurp,” a drink
popularized by hip hop artists who utilize the ingredients as parts of a
concoction which includes prescription cough syrup, and whose end result sees
the individual who consumes the mixture, experience a high which is likened to
that of an acid trip, complete with hallucinations (I’m sure there are
skeptics, so don’t just take my word for it, read it for yourself here)
– a drink that Martin had stated on many occasions that he intended to make and
consume. No one seemed to care that Martin was in fact the one who initiated
the confrontation with Zimmerman and who then proceeded to assault and pummel
the man instead of just going home – like any normal teenager would have; this
amazes me. Have we fallen this far as a species? Honestly? Are we so blinded by
our own ignorance’s that we neglect proven fact in an attempt to paint an
unassuming portrait of a man who was violent, ruthless, manically aggressive, a
civil disturbance, a criminal and so much more, for the simple fact that he was
a black kid under the age of 18. I’m astonished that for some reason this fact
allows us to eliminate all other past transgressions in the consideration of
the outcome of this case? Please tell me we are not this dense as a society. Oh
wait; Zimmerman initially appeared to be white – that changes everything –
never mind that he wasn’t. But that’s another blog entirely. This is your government at work, folks.
With
this new case, here again do we see an attempt to sabotage the image of what
would be a normal man, a software engineer, who claimed to be threatened by a
car full of young punks who – according to Davis’s statement – threatened him
with a shotgun after he asked them to lower their music. Is this due process? This
doesn’t seem like due process to me. What’s going on here? Oh, that’s right, Dunn
is white and Jordan Davis was black. Due process? Scrap that; let the media
race frenzy ensue! All thanks to the agenda driven influence of the media, backed by it's big brother cohorts who are loping for job security by tearing apart the citizens of America.
This is
what we have come to. Can you believe it? Here we have what would otherwise be
a simple case of self defense – a man defending himself when threatened by a
group of young punks, who were allegedly brandishing a shotgun, and instead of
letting the system work how it was designed to work, we have groups of
ignorants – that’s what I call them now, “ignorants” – tossing the judicial
system out the window for the hopes of influencing the outcome of a case based
solely on a circumstantial scenario that has been so completely contorted, so
to make it seem as though this was yet another instance of a white power
hungry, racist old man out gunning down innocent black kids. We have thrown
forethought and reality to the wind. Statistics do not lie, nor does common
sense.
Let’s
pretend for a second that the youth of America isn’t a trove of undereducated, mindless
sociopaths with little to no empathy or care for other individuals or
themselves. Let’s pretend it is common for the average black youth, and most any
youth for that matter, to act contradictory to authority in just about every given
scenario; let’s pretend that this kid probably did threaten the man when asked
to turn the music down. Let’s pretend they could have been and probably were
carrying a shotgun – let’s pretend they did indeed threated Dunn with said
shotgun. Let’s pretend that he is innocent until proven guilty; let’s pretend
that there isn’t much else to go on besides the account given. Let’s pretend
this would leave us inclined to not throw the book at a man who otherwise would
seem to have no issues with the law. Let’s pretend we live in reality – If only
this were true. It may as well could be, if we didn’t allow the truths in these
truths to be over shadowed by propaganda that would have us believe that this
was all about loud music and skin color.

My hope is that my words will not be seen as harsh, rather as liberating, and at very least, thought provoking. I enjoy everything from technology, to race relations, biology, genetics and economics.. for a start..
