A Life Stole: Justice for Trayvon Martin

Trayvon Martin's case is getting a lot of hype. Now the New Black Panther Party has offered a $10,000 reward for the "capture" of George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin.

News about such a handsome reward must encourage people to track George Zimmerman. Mikhail Muhammad, the New Black Panther leader, announced the reward during a protest in Sanford Saturday. When he was asked whether this is an act of violence or revenge, Muhammad replied defiantly, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

The New Black Panther Party (NBPP), whose formal name is the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, is a U.S.-based black political organization founded in Dallas, Texas.

The Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights consider the New Black Panthers to be a hate group.

The New Black Panther Party follows the theory of Maulana Karenga, who preaches black unity, collective action, and cooperative economics. The NBPP says it fights the oppression of black and brown people.

Late Saturday, Sanford city officials issued a statement, condemning the group's appeal and asking citizens to leave all arrests to the police.

Trayvon Martin was shot dead by 28-year-old George Zimmerman, who is apparently Hispanic whereas many people believed that he was white. In response to the controversy which seems to be going in circles at the moment, Robert Zimmerman talked about it in a letter to the Orlando Sentinel. He said, “George is a Spanish-speaking minority with many black family members and friends. He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever.”

You have turned this into a "racial:" incident. You are Guilty of the same IGNORANT thinking as a KKK dumb Redneck who decides the black guy has to be guilty before even looking into the evidence and demand justice by calling for the lynching of the Blackman. JUST THE SAME THING YOU ARE DOING you Decided the "White" is Guilty before looking at facts and are calling for his Lynching (I have heard some rumor about a 10,000$ bounty out on Zimmerman) You act just like the KLAN. Funny how a mixed breed person like Zimmerman is called "White" by all the Black folks who act racially Pre-Judgmental. You have decided the "Whiteman" is guilty before even looking at the facts close enough to determine that Zimmerman is actually Brown and not White, You should feel really stupid, because it shows just how much you pre-judged the Zimmerman/Martin incident. Already outraged and convinced it is a White on Black Hate crime without evidence and without even looking into the facts! HAD YOU LOOKED AT THE FACTS Miss Nittle you would Find Out Zimmerman is no more White than President Obama is White. Both have one White Parent; so If you Insist that Zimmerman is "White" Then you must also Insist President Obama is "White" By Your Ignorant Klan like Racist Knee Jerk Reaction You have already convinced yourself and many others this is a "Hate Crime" You and many Others are raising Hell saying Justice must be done, However I have not heard you say a word about the TWO Black Kids in Kansas City That Poured Gasoline on A white kid and set him on Fire exclaiming "you get what you deserve white boy" So where is your outrage on that ???? Did President Obama come on TV and say if he had sons they would look just like the 2 boys who threw gas on a kid and lit him on Fire? Your very retarded statement; "There's no evidence to indicate that Trayvon threatened Zimmerman in any way" again you PRE JUDGED because A broken nose might very well be evidence that Zimmerman felt threatened!
