Hiller Armament Company is selling these paper targets for training ranges.
An avalanche of smug racism has embraced the claims that Zimmerman had cuts and a broken nose.
So what? Zimmerman hunted a young Black man, like Trayvon Martin was an animal.
If Trayvon landed a punch, before Zimmerman murdered him, well, good for Trayvon.
There is a lot of talk about “let the system do its work.” Well, we have no choice — this system will do its thing.
This system did its thing when the racist Zimmerman was allowed to organize a racist “community watch.” It was doing its thing when Trayvon Martin was pursued, confronted and shot. It was doing its thing when the local police chief and other brass showed up over Travon’s body, to help protect Zimmerman the judge’s son, to accept his story, to let him go home unarrested.
The system was doing its thing when Trayvon was targeted in the media — portrayed as a drug user, wannabe gangster, a threat. When it was said in a thousand ways that Zimmerman had reason to be concerned, to be alert, and suspicious.
They think there are places where young Black men should simply not be allowed. They think that they have a right to patrol and control the movement of young Black men.
They think that is reasonable, natural and needed — and they have thought this since slavery times, since paddyrollers, since the Black codes, since the systematic racist profiling of Black people became integral to “modern policing.”
Now we will see who this system punishes, who they protect, who they let walk free.
And we will see how much the wrath, horror and sorrow of Black people matters in their decisions.
We don’t care about the details of this system’s laws, its fucked up rules, statutes and authorities: We all know that an armed racist asshole pursued and hunted a young Black man who had done nothing. And he shot Trayvon to death — with the gun he had bought and brought for that purpose.
If anyone was “standing his ground” in self-defense, it was Trayvon.
A racist murderer like Zimmerman should not walk free. He should not be exonerated. He should not be celebrated.
He should be publicly repudiated, disarmed, punished and removed from society. And we demand that.
Everyone who defends him should be exposed for what they are.
Trayvon faced this armed racist. He was fighting for his life. And unfortunately he lost.
And now we will see. It is not just Zimmerman who is on trial. It is this system.
