Remember The Riots When This Black Community Watch Member Was Acquitted Of Shooting A Teenage White Boy? ME EITHER!
By: SJ Husak At Large - CONSERVATIVE SPOKEN HERE -https://www.facebook.com/The Trayvon Martin case reminds me of Roderick Scott. In both cases, a man claiming to be protecting his neighborhood notifies police about an unarmed 17-year-old boy he thinks is causing trouble and minutes later shoots him dead, sparking debate about guns and self-defense.
Scott shot Christopher Cervini in 2009 in Greece, NY on a windy and rainy night. Scott saw Cervini and his friends rifling through neighbors’ cars. He went outside with a gun as his girlfriend called police. Scott confronted Cervini and said the youth ran at him. Scott shot Cervini dead.
A grand jury charged him manslaughter. Scott testified in his own defense. A jury acquitted him. Self defense. The year was 2009. Eric Holder saw no need to investigate whether Cervini's civil rights were violated and there was no national TV coverage. Not a word from President Obama was uttered. Blacks celebrated the acquittal. Whites did not riot or march.
Scott is black and Cervini was white. Zimmerman is hispanic and was raised in an interracial home and Martin was black. People think race was a factor in each case. Race was not a factor in either verdict. I believe in each case the jury found the verdict within the parameters of the law, and both cases are tragic.
Apparently we dont care as much for our white counterparts. Or possibly we respect the laws and the system. Or maybe we weren't as ignorant back then.
ReplyDeleteBased upon the racially charged comments that came out of Obama during his first presidential election, it was inevitable. I said it back then and events of today are proving it. Obama and his DOJ appointee, Eric Holder are the worst thing that could happen to this country for race relations. They both contribute to the divide. It will take a long time to resolve the racial divide between blacks and whites. Notice I didn't mention any other race. There is no interest with other races as the President and media continue their destruction of this country.
