Trayvon the Galvanizer



Now that a month has passed, people of a certain political/mental persuasion (the Fox News Community) are offering conjecture as to what made Trayvon Martin deserve what he got. It's like they somehow feel as they have been put on the defensive. But no one put them there. No one made this a political issue until they hunkered down on the wrong side of history once more. 


That's the knee-jerk crew for you; they voluntarily clamor to take the pro side in a debate on racism. "Trayvon was asking for it because he was wearing a hoody in the rain." "Unarmed Trayvon did not have the same right to defend himself as his murderer." "If Trayvon had run away, he would still be alive today." I say without any hyperbole, this is psychotic thinking.


Speaking of which, I'm sure there is one psychopath who wishes he hadn't squandered what good will people had left for him by calling Sandra Fluke a slut. Imagine the crap Limbaugh would love to spew on Trayvon Martin. As a matter of fact, given the choice I bet Limbaugh would rather have the opportunity to say what he wanted about Trayvon Martin and lose his advertisers rather than have lost them over calling Fluke a slut. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. 


I relish the insane "Kill Trayvon" talk from the Right for one reason; it serves to further isolate a group of dangerous antisocials who are under the delusion that most people agree with them. What abets their position is not that so many people agree with them, but that not enough people who disagree express enough disgust. Extreme cases such as this one centered around Trayvon Martin does just that. Most people know that Trayvon Martin's death is 100% the fault of George Zimmerman and 0% the fault of Trayvon Martin to the regret of The Fox Community.
