| Jack Cashill: Zimmerman Suit Spells Trouble for Black Lives Matter |
| 2020-08-14 |
The lie went round the world while Truth was still tying its shoes. Copious details at the link. [AmericanSpectator] They have a dismal record of blowing up "racial killings" that turn out to be nothing of the kind.I read the "Second Amended Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial" filed August 12 on behalf of George Zimmerman against Sybrina Fulton, Benjamin Crump, et al. without illusion. The major media will shrug off the suit, and even the trial if it comes to that, and Black Lives Matter (BLM) will likely continue on its meretricious way. But maybe not. BLM was launched in 2013 "in response to" Zimmerman’s acquittal in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin a year earlier. In predicting that "Trayvon Martin will forever remain in the annals of history next to Medgar Evers and Emmett Till, as symbols for the fight for equal justice for all," Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump captured the confused mood of much of black America. I attended the Zimmerman trial in July 2013, visited with Bob Zimmerman, George’s father, and surveyed the scene of the crime. At the time, I was writing a book on the case with a deadline six-weeks post-trial. I was guided in my research by the excellent, crowd-sourced deconstruction of the incident done by "Sundance" and his fellow "Treepers" at the blogging collective, "The Conservative Treehouse." We all knew Zimmerman was innocent. We all thought he would be acquitted in anything resembling a fair trial. And we all suspected, but could not prove, that the State of Florida’s star witness, the girlfriend allegedly on the phone with Martin at the moment of his death, was a flat-out impostor. In his stunning 2019 documentary and book of the same name, The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud That Divided America, Los Angeles filmmaker Joel Gilbert proved what we all suspected: The prosecution’s key witness, Rachel Jeantel, was an impostor. To close the case, Gilbert went and found the real girlfriend, Brittany Diamond Eugene, a then-16-year-old Haitian-American woman. With impressive clarity, the Zimmerman lawsuit lays out the case against the defendants — Trayvon’s father Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s mother Sybrina Fulton, Eugene, Jeantel, Crump, and HarperCollins, the publisher of Crump’s compendium of lies, Legalized Genocide of Colored People.

| #7 while Truth was still tying its shoes. Thank you for fixing my typo above, Skidmark. Now fixed in the original. Everybody reads the titillating headlines, few the followup. Truly, which is why I thought it worth posting. Plenty of people who still assume where there’s smoke there is fire, nonetheless. |

| #4 It matters not a bit. Some people....deluded....think black lives matter to Black Lives Matter and can't allow themselves to find out otherwise. Everybody else already knows it's been a scam since day one. Still, if a number of people named can be punished, that would count for something. |

| #3 No it doesn't. It's way past the point where anything but violence can settle this problem. |
