Zimmerman
trial is this year’s Duke LaCrosse case
By Ann Coulter
7/10/2013
This
week, instead of attacking a Hispanic senator, Marco Rubio, I
will defend a Hispanic citizen, George Zimmerman, on trial for the
murder of
Trayvon Martin. (Zimmerman would make a better senator.)It’s becoming
painfully
obvious why no charges were brought against Zimmerman in this case —
until Al
Sharpton got involved. All the eyewitness accounts, testimony,
ballistics and
forensics keep backing up Zimmerman. We should send a big, fat bill for
the
whole thing to Sharpton, courtesy of MSNBC.
With
the prosecution’s witnesses making the defense’s case, the
inquisitors’ last stand is to claim that, if the races were reversed,
the black
guy would have been instantly charged with murder. As explained in The
New York
Times:
“Had
Mr. Martin shot and killed Mr. Zimmerman under similar
circumstances, black leaders say, the case would have barreled down a
different
path: Mr. Martin would have been quickly arrested by the Sanford Police
Department and charged in the killing, without the benefit of the
doubt.”
(Also, CNN could have dropped the “white” and referred to Zimmerman
exclusively
as “Hispanic.”)
The
people who say this are counting on the rest of us being too
polite to mention that it is nearly impossible to imagine such a case
in a
world where half of all murders and a majority of robberies are
committed by
blacks. To reverse the races with the same set of facts, first, we’re
going to
need a gated, mixed-race community, similar to the Retreat at Twin
Lakes, that
has recently experienced a rash of robberies by white guys. The only
way to do
that is to enter “The Twilight Zone.”
There
were at least eight burglaries in the 14 months before
Zimmerman’s encounter with Martin. Numerous media accounts admit that
“most” of
these were committed by black males. I’m waiting to hear about a single
crime
at Twin Lakes that was not committed by a black male.
Just
six months before Zimmerman’s encounter with Martin, two men
had broken into the home of a neighbor, Olivia Bertalan, while she was
alone
with her infant son. She had just enough time to call 911 before
running
upstairs and locking herself in a room. The burglars knew she was home,
but proceeded
to rob the place anyway, even trying to enter the locked room where she
held
her crying child.Bertalan had seen the burglars just before they broke
into her
house — one at the front door and one at the back. They were young
black males.
They lived in the Retreat by Twin Lakes.
In
another case, a black teenager strode up to Zimmerman’s house
and, in broad daylight, stole a bicycle off the front porch. The bike
was never
recovered.
Weeks
before Zimmerman saw Martin, he witnessed another young
black male peering into the window of a neighbor’s house. He called the
cops,
but by the time they arrived, the suspect was gone.
A
few days later, another house was burglarized. The thieves made
off with jewelry and a new laptop. Roofers working across the street
had seen
two black teenagers near the house at the time of the robbery. When
they
spotted one of the teens the next day, they called the police...
