New Black Panther: Bounty Hunters
2012-03-26
Wonder if Durbin will call for a Senate Hearing concerning these bounty hunters?
Yesterday afternoon at a press conference Mikhail Muhummud and the New Black Panther Party circulated a "wanted dead or alive" poster for George Zimmerman for shooting to death a Florida teenager four weeks ago.

The new Black Panther Party offered a bounty of $10,000 Saturday for the "capture" of a Florida neighborhood watch captain who killed unarmed teen Trayvon Martin.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," leader Mikhail Muhammad said after announcing the reward for George Zimmerman at a protest in Sanford, Fla.

Muhammad called on 5,000 black men to mobilize and capture the neighborhood watch volunteer.

"If the government won't do the job, we'll do it," Muhammad said, leading chants that included "freedom or death" and "justice for Trayvon."

Muhammad said New Black Panther's chairman, Malik Zulu Shabaz of Washington, was taking donations from black entertainers and athletes.

#28  didn't use the RB linky tool? If you don't, it adds a header that FUBARS it, at least in Firefox. Best to use Fred's tool that looks like a globe with an infinity sign below it.....

not sure what you're using/how you did it....just helping peeps with FF?

#24  Sharpton said he warned the family from the start that anything negative about Trayvon would be dragged out in an effort to make him out to be a “junkie and a thief.” He knew that would happen, he said, because itÂ’s occurred in every similar case he has ever been involved in.


yeah....we know

#23  Out in thisaways, we call that there a call for a lynch mob.

Noticed that myself, every pic of Martin was him as a youthful kid, frollocking about.

Heh, if the Mad Dog 20/20 leaves your vision a bit too clear, try the Zulu Shabaz.

#20  St. Trayvon ain't looking so good either. Three suspensions from school, possession of stolen goods, maryjane and truancy.

#19  Can't come up with a Zimmerman telegraph zing but it's there somewhere waiting to be discovered.

#18  Zulu Shabazz: born Paris Lewis in 1968. But that wasn't "edgy". It was his "slave name". Didn't get the chicks

#17  "Zulu Shabaz"?? Now thats a stage name. ( or a great name for a cheap South Africa red wine)I think he should be introduced to the winger that Fred found in the "Hatching Evil" article.

The only danger is giving these guys too much credit. Democracy and a free for all press (that needs to sell copy) and there you go Wingers Galore. Thankfully Canada is too far below the radar for these high flyers.

#15  It's the Zimmerman effect.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru   2012-03-26 17:56  

#14  I read that the kid busted Zimmerman's nose. Witnesses say Tryvon was on top of Zimmerman beating him up when Trayvon Martin got shot. There sure has been a rush to judgment before the facts have come out. Obama has fanned the flames as much as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. But then what's new.

#13  I believe the hype was going full bore before white as initially reported became White Hispanic. I'm sure there is an attempt by some to slam on the brakes but it may have gone too far to undo.

#12  We have so many gangs in this country and areas you dare not go if you don't belong. I don't believe the black panthers would dare go into a Hispanic area. This is media hype. They will most likely tear up their own home areas. Food stores and so on. Brothers in color only.

#11  I was rather wondering about that, RJ.

Usually Hispanics are identified in the media as just that, and Hispanics are seen in progressive circles, academia, etc as part of the 'People of Color.' The thought is that they too have been discriminated against and so have a common agenda with blacks, asians, etc against 'the Other'.

This is so even as the Census Bureau asks about race and ethnicity separately, so that you do have 'white Hispanics' and 'black Hispanics' (I suppose one could be a 'white Pacific Islander' or a 'black Pacific Islander' if you fill in the little circles on the form in just a certain way).

Yet the NYT has gone out of its way to identify Mr. Zimmerman as a 'white Hispanic'. Is he (I take it) not a card-carrying member of the People of Color?

I have no clear idea what the facts are in the Trayvon Martin case, and I am content to wait for the authorities to release their exhaustive investigation to the public.

But it seems very shortsighted for the progressive community and the media (but I repeat myself) to try and split the People of Color at a time when Champ needs every vote he can get.

#10  Might be a mistake for the left to go after a hispanic (with a jewish name) this way, with no facts, just torches and bile. You might rally the black vote and lose the other ethnic enclaves.

#7  When Eric Holder was asked by Congress why he went lite on the Black Panther voter intimdation action, he told Congress these were "his people". With a tone of "Audacity".

Now People. Let Me Tell You Something.

The reason you question EVERYTHING about a candidate as the President of the United States - everything - even the legitimacy of his own birth certificate is to make sure a gangster a thug a LIAR a DECIEVER does not get in where he can take control of so much power.

This generation screwed it up. Now deal with it.

I never thought I would see it.

#5  The Klan. Just like the old Klan, just under new management. Becoming the enemy they once despised for violence and intimidation. No surprise which big tent party they ultimate identify with. However, the old Klan would have like to have the criminal statistics the New Klan racks up in their own community.

#4  I wouldn't be surprised if Eric Holder's [IN]Justice Department was sponsoring the reward.

#3  Gee Alan, I dunno - let's ask Eric Holder - I'm sure he'll give us a good legal opinion.
