Simple Skittle-Throwing for Stupid People


Apparently it’s a good thing for the world when Jack Cashill is focused solely on Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

Jack Cashill, American… No. Just no.:
Why Florida Persists in the Zimmerman Persecution

Because he shot and killed a child in cold blood.

That’s why he’s being prosecuted. Because he killed someone. Or more importantly because he’s been accused of killing someone. Cause that’s what happens when you’re accused of committing a crime.

For someone who spends so much of his time whining about how “having a few small questions about the Satanist plot to brainrape anyone who knows about Obama’s secret Kenyan abortion doctor birth certificate” doesn’t at all make him a racist, Jack Fuckwit here is not doing himself any favors by literally boggling at the concept that the legal system isn’t actually just for keeping the niggers and the faggots down.

Shorter (or the last port before Jungle):

  • I’m selling a book, so please take the time to listen to my incredibly belated attempt at white-washing and dime-store legal ninjitsu on why Trayvon Martin actually used his tentacle mindrape powers to make Al Sharpton snipers take fire on poor huddled George Zimmerman before breaking out tiny Skittle bayonets and stabbing him over and over forcing the confused and harried Zimmerman to shoot an unarmed teenage boy.

And somehow, despite his Johnny-Reb-come-lately attempt to corner the KKK bookworm market, he still manages to find a way to be more offensive than the psychopaths who turned George Zimmerman into a cult conservative hero in the first place*.

I mean, this is how the post begins, for Bob’s sake:

Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end.

Yes, somehow, Obama used the same time-traveling magical voodoo he uses to hide his True Birth Certificate and College Transcript from Satan University & Nursery in the Late Triassic Period, to totally force George Zimmerman to shoot a kid in cold blood and then convince the racist police force to try and ineptly cover it up and fail to even put on the show of an arrest and arraignment in blatantly illegal and corrupt fashion. Then he sent a psychic message to various unrelated civil rights organizations to totally invent various unrelated negative reactions among black people to the blatant racism and neo-lynching so that he could make an innocuous statement. Cause he knew damn well that that would totally trick conservatives into making themselves look every bit the racist psychopaths they are by rallying to the child murderer and sending said murderer huge amounts of money and acting like the real tragedy was that someone who killed someone else had to like explain in court why he did it. I mean, what if he can’t keep his lies straight in the courthouse? Then he might have had to like, pay, for his crime or something. Even though everyone knows that killing black people totally doesn’t count.

The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.

I like how Jack Cashill puts this here like some fucking badge of honor. Yes, George Zimmerman won a Yellow Pants of Honor for bravely holding the line against a schnauzer that looked cross-eyed at him. Truly, his belonging to a paranoid twitch-curtain faux-police-force designed around harassing youths makes him America’s True Hero! And yeah, no mention of how he kinda sorta, wasn’t even that, because he turned out to be too crazy for even that bunch of panty-sniffing wanna-be fascists.

The charge is the second-degree murder.

Which is already a bit of a giant win for His Lordship Captain Child Killer right there. There is no way in the cold reaches of Hell that a race-reversed situation would have resulted in anything less than first-degree (also a trial that would last about 3.5 picoseconds if it had even a fraction of the evidence acquired for this modern lynching). Conservatives are so far removed from experiencing actual oppression that they think not having your balls fondled lovingly enough is male genital mutilation.

The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he’s acquitted.

Yes, I imagine that there will be some righteous fury if and sadly, probably, when he’s acquitted (given the actions of the local law enforcement so far and the additional pressure the shit-town judge will be under now that Zimmerman is considered an honorary conservative saint in addition to the relative of another judge).

And if it’s anything like the “mayhem” exhibited by the protests when said law enforcement was refusing to even ape the motions of a trial, then it’ll be infinitely better behaved than anything conservatives have ever thrown up to and including the Annual Hoverund three wheeled race and Tea Party barbeque.

And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not.

Yeah, seeing as how The State couldn’t have been more corruptly unwilling to prosecute if it was run by actual cartoon mobsters, I can pretty well guarantee they aren’t “on the side of angels”. Unless you mean on the side of “Angel Lips” Gambheri.

[Fictional Account of Trayvon Martin slaying redacted]

What follows is 1, 2, 3… 24! paragraphs of KKK revisionism trying to play armchair lawyer about as well as wingnuts have played armchair general or Cashill personally played armchair investigative journalist in his hunt for the Secret Obama Birth Certificate Conspiracy.

It hits the usual Cashill notes of accepting every single right-wing conspiracy as indisputable fact and discarding hard reported facts as “disproved rumors”. Because if you’ve only got one shtick, you might as well milk it until the cow keels over.

What’s impressive though is the attempt to spin that with the general wingnut conspiracy of Trayvon Martin, psychic Skittles assassin, leads him to numbering various witnesses into the double digits to try and discredit all the ones that sounded blackest (but not due to racism, oh no). Which just sort of underlines how there is no way in hell that a race-reversed or even a race-matching case with that many witnesses and that clear of a sign of intentional slaughter would not be done and dusted within microseconds.

But because Trayvon Martin was unlucky enough to be a black boy in a paranoid white suburbs home to a complete fuckwit like Zimmerman, he was murdered and his mother needed to fight with every ounce of her being just to have the fucker arrested. And since then, she has been receiving death threats and all the hatred that the South Will Rise Again crowd can throw at her for doing so and probably will decades after Zimmerman ducks out of doing anything more than a couple of hours of community service or a handful of years in rich white man prison.

And people like Jack Cashill, will be producing books and probably making a decent living preying on that pain and trying to make it worse because he can not stand that a black man he hates for totally not racist freakout reasons once empathized with her.

There’s no joke there. Jack Cashill is scum incarnate and his attempt to rewrite the Trayvon Martin killing is obscene to say the least. And in true wingnut fashion, the worst part of it is the Tigers in the comment jungles who are eating up every piece of red meat on offer and arguing over exactly which black stereotype that all black people must be like explains their ninja psionic powers.

And I don’t wish him ill-will because of it. In contrary, I hope he lives a long full life. So long that he watches as his racist little band of customers slowly die off and leave him alone. And just long enough to see the first biracial lesbian elected president. It’s more than he deserves.


‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. Being oppressed by my main employer apparently makes me mean. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™


*Which serves as one of the starkest examples of the hero gap between liberals and conservatives. Liberals often lionize people who performed great acts of bravery in standing up against oppression and bigotry, slowly moving the gears of history forward for the betterment of their people. Conservatives instead lionize murderers, terrorists, war criminals, and rapist cult members. People who, at the very least, performed evil acts that are only deniable by the truly delusional. Maybe if conservatives want us to stop viewing them as equatable to the dog shit left smeared on the front steps, they should stop applauding every travesty of justice and stop canonizing every penny-ante child murderer and tinpot dictator that comes their way.

bughunter-

Brutal. My workplace is pulling all sorts of head games and since I’ve started being perfect on the protocols, they’ve now attacked my teaching style directly, outright banning it and forcing me to teach subpar to the kids and ignore good solutions I already know (which really hits me hard). I tried to stand up for the kids and call them out on this shit, but they’ve just upped the mind fuckery and doubled down.

Sorry everybody on the light posting. I’ll try to make sure that you all don’t get the short end of the stick while I’m dealing with all that.

Fucking oppression, man. Fucking oppression.

 
 

Cerb, that’s horrible. Are they still couching their mindfuckery in “concerned” condescending terms?

 
 

Hang in there Cerb, we’re all pulling for you. Also too, document document document. If things go pear shaped, you may want to be able to tell your side of the story. With evidence.

I think they dropped that schtick because they admire what he did. They’ve gone beyond trying to tie him to the opposition, they’ve embraced him as a hero. In their shriveled, putrid, hateful hearts, Zimmerman “lived the dream” that most of them wouldn’t dare to utter to anyone.

I wonder how many of Zimmerman’s defenders realize that if Trayvon Martin had been armed, he could have legally shot and killed Zimmerman under the SYG law. I guess that it is too much to hope that their fantasy lives would acknowledge that they won’t necessarily be the best armed/best shot in any conflict.

 
 

Arakasi, I’m not sure if Treyvon Martin shooting Zimmerman would have been covered under FL’s SYG law. Does anybody know of the racial breakdown of people who have been.exhonerated under SYG vs those who have not? Something tells me it’s significantly different than that of FL’s population at large.

 
 

I’m pretty sure the SYG laws are selectively enforced. I can’t see how they could be otherwise without homicide prosecutions dropping to near zero especially in an armed-camp state like Florida. The whole concept is incoherent legally but for the obvious subtext (barely even reaching “sub”) of people who are always “good guys” (and coincidentally white) and “bad guys” (coincidentally not white).

 
 

Literally yesterday so imbecile pro-gun moron was spouting off on my bus on the way home, chatting with the driver who even more terrifyingly seemed to agree with him. This was unusual as people on this bus rarely talk to anyone other than the person next to them and the engine is so loud, you can barely hear.
Anyway pgm actually sounded like a return to the Wild West would be super-awesome, or maybe that some kind of deterrence existed in the Wild West. I can’t tell which since (a) neither is remotely true even in fiction (!) and (b) the red mist was rising and I was concentrating on not stabbing this moron and dumping his body onto the drive. There were many other dopey-ass NRA talking points, which he confidently proclaimed “No one is talking about…” As in “No one talks about how the Second Amendment was passed to make sure we could protect ourselves from oppressive governments.”
Admire, if you can, the fractal level of wrongness in that statement. Every detail yield yet more wrongness. I never cease to be amazed that anyone can even do that, let alone pull it out deadpan and casually. It’s like watching someone endlessly and unconsciously tweet in haiku.

Why Florida Persists in the Zimmerman Persecution

It’s oddly appropriate that he’s coming out with this chickenshitbullshit the same week as all that “poor rapists, such a promising career” stuff is in the media. Is there some sort of national Blame The Victims; The Guilty Are The True Heroes week going on that I’m not aware of?

 
 

The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.

You know who ELSE had a neighborhood watch?

(And I’m sort of snarking, but not really, as this is in fact the real purpose they want their “well regulated militias” tasked to).

 
 

Anyway pgm actually sounded like a return to the Wild West would be super-awesome, or maybe that some kind of deterrence existed in the Wild West.

I’ve read that many towns made you turn your guns in at the town line, then returned them to you when you left, making the whole town a gun-free zone, and some just banned guns entirely in all or part of town. I’m surprised the gun nuts are for it but we could give it a try.

 
 

Anyway pgm actually sounded like a return to the Wild West would be super-awesome

It would be super awesome.

The age when Wyatt Earp could clean up a town by prohibiting firearm carrying within the city limits? I’d be thrilled to go back to an age with that minimal amount of sanity.

Or is that not what the dude meant?

 
 

Is there some sort of national Blame The Victims; The Guilty Are The True Heroes week going on that I’m not aware of?

I think it was enshrined around the time when that liberal rag Time Magazine suggested that poppy Bush was a wimp. And it is a year, every year, and not a week.

 
 

Arakasi, I’m not sure if Treyvon Martin shooting Zimmerman would have been covered under FL’s SYG law. Does anybody know of the racial breakdown of people who have been.exhonerated under SYG vs those who have not? Something tells me it’s significantly different than that of FL’s population at large.

I’m actually not sure what the reaction would’ve been to that, because there’s also Zimmerman’s not-quite-white-like-us status at play.

The impression I get is that the original reaction to the Martin shooting wasn’t “a white guy shot a black guy, FUCK YEAH!” so much as “oh, another dead black guy, who gives a shit.” The cops let him go not necessarily because they saw Zimmerman as “one of us” so much as they just didn’t want the hassle of prosecuting someone, regardless of skin color, for the death of an unperson. (Minority-on-white crime causes outrage, but minority-on-minority violence often just provokes a yawn and a “what do you expect, they’re all animals anyway.”)

It’s only after liberals raised a stink about this indifference and the whole thing turned into a national news story that Zimmerman became a hero of the right, all the attention and all the liberal outrage being enough to turn him into an honorary White Conservative Star despite his not-totally-white status.

Well duh. The reason the Second Amendment says “State,” not Country” is becase Patrick Henry and Geogre Mason (primarily) told Madison – who wrote the fucking thing – that Virginia would ratify ONLY if they were guaranteed their slave patrol militias.

Agree with almost everything except for the characterization of neighborhood watches as “panty-sniffing wannabee fascists.” In my city, a lot of neighborhood watches in predominantly black and Latino areas would be surprised.

It would take the media nearly two weeks to learn that their great white defendant was Hispanic and a registered Democrat at that, but by that time the train had long since left the station, and the railroading had irreversibly begun.

Meanwhile bloggers were stoking the fires until pressure built up and everything went off the rails.
Then I lost my train of thought.

 
 

The comments on this American “Thinker” post make me go sad sad. Many are going on and on about how how Martin had watermelon drink (NOT ICED TEA LIKE THE DAMN LYING MEDIA WOULD HAVE YOU THINK) and Skittles and these aremain ingredients in a crazy drug cocktail called Lean that the rappers rappity rap about and he was on his was to get really high and not to watch the NBA All-Star Game like THEM LYING MEDIAS want you to think. Of course the Skittles referenced is a slang term for cold tablets and the combo of candy Skiittles and Watermelon Fruit Juice is just for kids who think Jolly Ranchers aren’t disgustingly sweet enough, but black black black black black.

 
 

I leave all typos in to keep it real.

 
 

Then I lost my train of thought.

Casey Jones, run down to the station,
Casey Jones, he had his orders in his hand,
Casey Jones, looked down at his fireman he said

Just one minor point- Zimmerman was not a neighborhood watch captain nor was he even a member of the local neighborhood watch. This is just one more right wing lie among the many told in order to hide the fact that what he was was a person who had been out for weeks looking for a black guy to shoot, and finally found one.

 
 

Other than the shooting death of an innocent young man, the part that bugs me most is calling Zimmerman a “block watch captain.” Zimmerman was a fraidy cat with a gun, who had called 9/11 dozens of times. A “block watch” is a community organization, and the captains of said watch know their neighborhood well. A *real* “block watch captain” would have known young Mr. Martin was visiting the neighborhood that day.

 
 

And Green Eagle gets the job done better than me, whilst I’m still a-tappin at me iPhone. Good job, sir!

 
 

How about “aspiring delusional would-be vigilante”? Can we agree on that?

 
 

When whitey exercises his Right to Keep and Bear Arms, blackety blacks exercise the Right to Bleed Out and Die. Where’s the Second Amendment defense for the scary ass Black Panther club-wielding voter intimidators? Clubs must not be a profit center for Firearms, Inc.

 
 

How about “aspiring delusional would-be vigilante”? Can we agree on that?

I kinda like “Brownshirt,” just because it’s shorter. But I’m not married to it.

 
 

Just one minor point. Cerb mentions Zimmerman’s dubious captaincy and links the great post at thegrio.

 
 

According to this he was a member of the neighborhood watch, but the watch are allowed to patrol the neighborhood in that town. The ones who patrol are another group entirely and are actually trained by the police and required to drive a marked car and not carry a weapon.

 
 

watch are NOT allowed, sheesh.

 
 

What a coincidence! It’s It’s Tabby Tuesday, and I haz!

So! I got cussed rather well, today. Doesn’t matter, though. Fifteen days from now, muhfuh gonna have a backflow, or a new water dealer, one. Yeah, you go ahead and call the alderman… that dude put a backflow in at his junkyard, too. Good luck, and have a happy bite me!

Also stumbled across two semi trailers today, parked next to a business in an out-of-the-way part of town. Probably nothing, but seeing as how they had RADIATION placards still affixed to them, I thought I ought to mention it to someone. Y’all will check that out, right?
.

 
 

Probably just nuclear waste, nothing to worry about.

 
 

This motherfucker is championing someone who – if you give the BEST interpretation of what happened – willfully and uncaringly decided to kill an innocent teenager based on nothing more than his paranoia and prejudice.

That’s if you give George Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt.

This motherfucker should be boiled in oil.

 
 

It would take the media nearly two weeks to learn that their great white defendant was Hispanic and a registered Democrat at that, but by that time the train had long since left the station, and the railroading had irreversibly begun.

Does this asshole really think that, had Zimmerman’s background been known from the get-go, the media would have sympathized with him more?

Thanks Pup, Helmut, but do you cipher a couple of Question marks at 17:23 in place of the aforementioned symbols?

Not one to blame a platform for my mistakes, and running a version of firefox fourteen point one on a recently updated debian variant, requires that I beg the question.

WTF?

It was 15 miles away on Monday now it’s 160 miles away! They just built a huge facility in Troutdale for FedEx ground. You’d think they could figure out how to identify the packages that are already at their destination and cut the cost of sending packages destined for Portland from Portland to somewhere else then back to Portland.

 
 

Don’t look at me Pup. I just drive the plane.

 
 

Did you send it directly via FDX or through USPS Express Mail?

 
 

Magnets Shippers! How do they work?

 
 

Maybe they just needed to send more stuff through Troutdale so they could justify building the huge new facility. It’s kind of like ten years after the war being all concerned about liberating the poor Iraqis in order to justify the war.

 
 

I didn’t ship it, it’s coming to me. They shipped it FedEx ground, apparently. Equally apparently, all FedEx ground packages for the entire PNW go through the Troutdale facility. I’m thinking they do the final delivery via USPS? (Yay congref, kill the USPS some more!) And THAT happens in Seattle (Kent). And in a final apparency, FedEx has such a sweet deal with the USPS it’s worth it to ship from Portland to Kent and back again rather than just delivering Portland packages FROM Portland.

For a long time all of Corvallis’ LOCAL mail went to the post office in Salem first and then back here. Took two or three days to get a local letter. We still have the same post office but now they handle local stuff, y’know, locally. I assume technology has improved or something.

 
 

“I assume technology has improved or something.”

I wish, you wish, we all wish, the fact is, the earth is rapidly shrinking, reducing travel times. But nobody wants to face up to the consequences. The negative ones, I mean. It’s not all increased mileage and reduced shipping time. We all can’t live on a grapefruit, even if it is usually bigger than an orange.

 
 

In rural areas, FedEx only delivers to the local Post Office. The USPS then makes the final delivery.

In an urban area it should be delivered to the door via FedEx courier.

I mentioned USPS Express Mail because we have a contract with the postal service. Most Express Mail actually gets shipped on our planes.

 
 

That would explain the chicken-shit letters I get.

Changing the mode of a melody or chord sequence is elementary. We’ve all heard it done a million times. We just haven’t heard it done quite like that — we haven’t heard “Hey Jude” exactly the same but in some guy’s interpretation of major vs. minor. He made the same old decisions, but with new tech that allowed the whole to retain everything but some semitone slips.

OK fine. *I* haven’t heard it done a million times. Not even several times.

In return for your callous dismissal I shall make you all jealous.

Goulash tomight. The way I learned to make it in Vienna. Shin beef (beef shank) cubed, dredged lightly in flour and sauteed in a heavy pot to a medium dark brown. Onions – same amount of onions as beef – get sliced and caramelized somewhat in the same pot. Also lots of garlic. Add tomato paste and cook it a bit to bring out the sweetness. Dump in spme beef broth and scrape to get up all the fond. Marjoram, caraway, and paprika. LOTS of parika – I use half Hungarian sweet and half Hungarian half-sharp. I added a soupçon of cayenne. Too. Return the beef and simmer for a couple hours. And Semmel Knödeln. Yum.

 
 

I didn’t mean to be callous, Pupienus. You HAVE heard music shifting modes, just not THAT way. It’s a different experience, I got that. Nobody much has heard it, so I was wrong in an important sense that I won’t try to explain.

Jealous, yeah. I just ate some grocery-store sushi.

 
 

The fact is, liberals worship death. They want biased media, and brainwashing in schools and let terrorists and foreners take over as well as enshring rights of gays and minorites over ours teh Ameircans.

Shouldn’t “Sadly, no” rants not themselves be candidates for “Sadly, no” rants? A couplea points here. No, neither Zimmerman nor someone in the race-reversed position would have been prosecuted for first-degree murder. There is little evidence of premeditation and none that would pass the test of beyond a reasonable doubt. No, the police were not corrupt. A detective wanted Zimmerman arrested and the local prosecutor overruled him. And no, the local prosecutor was not corrupt either. The real legal problem here is Florida’s stand-your-ground law, which is an effective shield for those who kill the only witness to the homicide. Thanks to ALEC and the brain-dead Florida legislature all it takes to legally kill someone is being in a place you’re allowed to occupy while not committing a crime but reasonably fearing for your life. Both Zimmerman and Martin were in a public place, and neither was committing a crime. All Martin was doing was carrying Skittles and iced tea. Zimmerman was following Martin, but that’s not a criminal act. Was Zimmerman in reasonable fear for his life? He’s the only witness, and his burden is preponderance of the evidence.

The law is written so that if both had been armed and fired at each other resulting in a single death, then the survivor would be acquitted.
