This trial should never have happened, but at least it came out the right way, despite prosecutorial and judicial misconduct. I particularly enjoyed O’Mara’s indictment of the media at the end of his press conference.
But as Glenn writes, “But count on Obama, Sharpton, et al., to use this to promote racial division.”
That was always the point, and there was never any other.
[Late Saturday night update]
As I predicted, the inevitable lynching threats, on Twitter.
You know, Twitter accounts aren’t really anonymous. I’ve never been that big on prosecution for speech, but I think that this really is fire in a theatre.
{Update a few minutes later]
This was another loss for race-baiter Barack Obama:
By injecting himself in a minor Florida criminal case by implying Martin could be his son, the president of the United States — a former law professor, of all things — disgraced himself and his office, made a mockery of our legal system and exacerbated racial tensions in our country, making them worse than they have been in years. This is the work of a reactionary, someone who consciously/unconsciously wants to push our nation back to the 1950s.
It is also the work of a narcissist who thinks of himself first, of his image, not of black, white or any other kind of people. It’s no accident that race relations in our country have gone backwards during his stewardship.
Nope, not at all.
And I’m glad it was a loss for such a moral atrocity.
