So Chicago's Congressional Rep Bobby Rush got a little lesson, when he was tossed from the U.S. House of Representatives while delivering a rambling comment about the Florida killing of Trayvon Martin. Rush thought he could just blather on and on, while wearing a hoodie on the House floor. The Speaker of the House attempted to stop him, and Rush ignored him. Rush is a disgrace to the House of Representatives.
My personal opinion, so far, is that Neighborhood Watch participant George Zimmerman went spoiling for trouble, when he followed Martin. Zimmerman knew, of course, that he (Zimmerman) was armed, and he should have stayed in his vehicle and waited for police to arrive.
A police video online now apparently shows Zimmerman uninjured, although he reported being battered by Martin.
The nation's attention is riveted on Sanford, Florida, which is north of Orlando.
Why am I reminded of another shooting - this one, right here in McHenry County? How quickly the McHenry County Sheriff's Department accepted the statements of an injured victim in a triple homicide case? How few have questioned the depth of any investigation into what happened? Very quickly the Sheriff announced how it happened, based on the statements of the survivor. And that's that.
Was there an investigation? Or was there only a report? Did anyone at the Sheriff's Department ask, "What if it didn't happen that way?" They bought the story, and that's that.
Well, maybe "that" isn't that. Will experts looking at the 260+-page Sheriff's Department have 265 pages worth of questions? There are many "loose ends" in that report. Nobody looked for any other possibility.
And now?
You never know who is interested…

White killing Black, Black killn white, White killn white, Black killn Black; toss in Hispanics, Asian, Iraqi's, Muslims, etc into the mix, and ya know what the common denominator is?
" KILL'N!"
Stop the violence... drink more beer. Doh.
Rep. Bobby Rush...a sad example.
Funny how different perceptions can be.
As I watched Mr. Rush pull that hood up over his head and don those sunglasses, basically giving the middle finger to the House, I stood up in my living room and started to applaude.
I think Zimmerman is guilty of murdering that boy. He at least should have had to go through the process.
See how perceptions can vary? Maybe Zimmermans were wrong. That boy should not have died. Plain and simple.
Rep. Rush could have made his position clearly and eloquently (not sure that he has that ability) by addressing members of Congress directly and factually - not by donning a hoodie and sunglasses and acting the fool's part.
I can't imagine that many in this country will side with Zimmerman. He was a vigilante.
I fault the Sanford PD for being scared of a lawsuit, instead of doing their job.
Well there you have it. Perceptions are so different from human to human.
I thought Mr. Rush was quite eloquent. I clearly got his message.
Props aside it was his passion for this boy that was gunned down that was very clear.
As for addressing CongrASS.... rotflmao!!!!!!!! Good one Gus!
