Tweets for a Lynch Mob

April 7, 2013 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

 

George Zimmerman murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012. The tens of thousands who protested in the streets against this murder knew that Trayvon Martin was stalked and killed in cold blood because George Zimmerman considered a Black youth wearing a hoodie automatically “suspicious.” But Zimmerman denies he’s a racist.

Robert Zimmerman Jr., George Zimmerman’s brother has played a very active role in the public defense of George. On March 21, he tweeted side-by-side pictures of Trayvon Martin and another Black 17-year-old who has no connection whatsoever to Trayvon Martin but who allegedly shot a one-year-old baby during a botched robbery in March 2013. The post then says: “A picture speaks a thousand words. Any questions?”

Then, in another tweet, Robert Zimmerman says: "Lib media shld ask if what these2 black teens did 2 a woman&baby is the reason ppl think blacks mightB risky."

So according to Robert Zimmerman, Trayvon, and apparently every other Black youth, is somehow to blame for the alleged crimes of another Black youth two years after Trayvon was killed. And ALL Black youth are to be considered “risky.” No, no racism there!
