by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The Miami Herald - George Zimmerman was ordered back to jail on Friday for misleading the court at his bond hearing about his finances. Seminole County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth Lester revoked the bail for Zimmerman — who is facing a second-degree murder charge in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin of Miami Gardens — after finding that Zimmerman and his wife concealed their access to a $200,000 account during a bail hearing in April. Zimmerman, who was not present at Friday’s hearing, now must surrender to Seminole County sheriff’s deputies by Sunday afternoon.

Which is to saw we must allow justice, wh...

Therefore the issue of white on white, white on black, black on black, black on white, Hispanic on white, Hispanic on black, Hispanic on Hispanic, or any other derivative of crime "combinations" ought to be viewed as irrelevant. At least that is how things should be. And it is in this writer's mind. Unfortunately society seems to be more concerned with irrelevancies than with the real heart of any issue, especially that of crime. Crime, whether it be committed against a Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, or any other race it is still a crime. Until such time as the Human Race can grasp that crime against one person or race is a crime against all there will continue to be racial and ethnic tensions. Only when people of all races and ethnicity are able to view unethical and or criminal actions by one individual against another individual (regardle...
