GEORGE ZIMMERMAN MUST BE CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER`!

By, BarbaraRoseBrooker

It was a lynching. George Zimmerman playing watchman that night was looking for a catch. He was a hunter. A hunter for black men. He stalked Trayvon Martin, a fourteen year old black boy who was wearing a black hoodie and walking home from the candy store. George Zimmerman shot and killed him.

Our jury system doesn’t work. Just as the jury used the ‘hostess twinkie’ sugar defense, for Dan White who shot Harvey Milk and Major Moscone in cold blood, Zimmerman was acquitted by his ‘Stand your ground,’ defense. While Trayvon Martin lies in his grave, candy in his pocket, he and his family still do not have justice. “I was doing my job,” repeats Zimmerman, proudly. He wasn’t even a cop. He’s only a white racist.

Zimmerman is a killer on the loose. How many of them are around? In fact, after he killed Trayvon in cold blood, he was on national TV, wearing a suit and tie and acting like a celebrity. He was proud of his only accomplishment in life. Killing a young black boy with candy still in his pocket.

Two weeks past George Floyd’s lynching, I again, on television, watched a lynching of a young black man. I watched 27 year old Rayshard Brooks unarmed and killed in the back twice by a white police officer. For nothing. For falling asleep in his car. For a suspected DUI. For running away, terrified that he was going to end up like George Floyd. He was right. The policeman shot him twice in the back. He died. He died while his daughter and wife and family waited for him to celebrate his daughter’s birthday.

The chief stepped down.

The officer was fired. Wasn’t charged.

The second policeman is on administrative leave.

Why not charged?

Why wasn’t the office who killed Rayschard unarmed and shot him twice in the back as he was running away, arrested and handcuffed on the spot and put in jail?

INJUSTICE for all black people is standard treatment.

The list goes on and on.

So many unarmed black men and women before Trayvon, and after George Floyd, are brutally killed and treated by white police.

We must say the names of those murdered by police and white skinheads. We must think about the hundreds of young black boys rotting in prison for nothing other than they’re black or were arrested for drug charges. Who keep the prisons monetized.

Treyvon Martin. Who still does not have justice. We must fight for his justice. We must find justice for Sandra Bland.

She was arrested for a traffic citation. Thrown in jail and the next day police said she was dead by suicide. She never got justice. The cops killed her.

Ahmaud Arbery jogging and enjoying the day was stalked and shot in the back by three white skinheads. Vile creatures.

Dion Johnson

Tony McDade

Eric Garner,

George Floyd

Rayshard Brooks

And all those I don’t know about. I’m a white woman who doesn’t know what it is like to leave my house and not feel safe. Who doesn’t know.

I send my love to the two black teenagers arrested for jaywalking on a street that didn’t have dividers. Who were traumatized and roughed up by police who were stalking them as they were on the hunt for black children and black boys and black men and black girls.

Lynchings and brutality by white police happen all the time.

Here are some white peoples’ responses from nextdoor.com-who e-mailed to me in response to my request for white people to take a knee.

He should not have run away,

He should not have talked back.

All lives matter, white people say.

don’t like the looting. It’s violent.

It’s always been this way

White people don’t kneel. Black people do.

White people are not submissive.

He should not have run away.

He should not have run away.

He should not have run away.

He should not have

Should not have

Not have

Not

Not

Shooting imprisoning and killing black boys and men is not only rewarded but keeps the prisons wealthy.

Lynching a black boy or man or woman on television is the new normal.
White people are slave owners.

The police do the lynchings.

Punishment of black boys and men keeps prisons wealthy.

The monetized black inmates instead of picking cotton, provide wealth to their white owners.

Law and Order, the President says. Law and order means killing black boys and men.
Law and order can only exist when there is justice for black lives.

Jim Crow is here!

Let’s make it right and arrest George Zimmerman.
