The Black Panthers will be around for as long as the government allows them to be, they do need to be slapped back down into their hole though. Openly discriminating against white people on television is okay when you're a black dude standing in phoney military garbs with plastic stars on it, but could you imagine if the roles were reversed? I'd be court martialed and thrown in jail for disrespecting my branch instantly.

George Zimmerman should be in jail. That he remains free after killing an unarmed Trayvon Martin one month ago today is galling. His liberty makes a mockery of justice when others have gone to prison for less. But the $10,000 bounty being offered by the New Black Panther Party should be an affront to anyone who wants Zimmerman held accountable for using a 9-millimeter handgun to kill a 17-year-old armed with only an iced tea and a bag of Skittles.
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” Mikhail Muhammad said at a Saturday press conference in Sanford, Fla., in which he also called on 10,000 black men to “capture” Zimmerman. “He should be fearful for his life,” Muhammad said, living up to his group’s air of menace as the hate-filled self-appointed protectors of the race. A surefire way to snuff out the genuine soul-searching underway is to have Zimmerman succumb to someone else’s definition of justice.
*******
Is a perceived, preferential so-called justice system encouraging and in many cases forcing vigilanteism?
And if someone killed\murdered Zimmerman, as a result of this bounty, does the end justify the means?
This act {bounty} seems to be opening pandora's box very wide, where every questionable crime of murder, whether justified or not, will encourage some form of vigilanteism to claim the justice being denied.
It would seem that we are witnessing a precedent setting incident, where justice is sought and served outside of the judicial system, because there is a dominant sense of "no confidence in the system" by those victimized.
The problem is not with Zimmerman, the problem is with the racist police force and public officials in Florida.
Here is just one of many problems that can arise from even a hint of vigilante styled justice on the horizon.
An elderly couple in Sanford, Florida is now living in fear after multiple people including director ****e Lee incorrectly tweeted their address as that of Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, who is in hiding.
70-year-old Elaine McClain has a son named William George Zimmerman, who lived with her in 1995 and has no relation to the neighborhood watchman who shot and killed the unarmed Miami teen February 26, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Elaine and her husband David McClain told Orlando's Local 6 that they received a letter addressed to George Zimmerman on Monday that read "taste the rainbow" in reference to the Skittles Martin was reportedly holding when he was shot.
The Sentinel reported that the McClains have since relocated to a hotel to avoid any more backlash.
The Smoking Gun traced the original tweet to Marcus Davonne Higgins, a 33-year-old Los Angeles Twitter user who tweeted the incorrect address for "George W. Zimmerman" Friday with the message, "Everybody repost this."
