This isn't the first time the DUmmies have compared Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till. To do so is despicable, and an insult to Emmett Till's memory.
First, let's look at the deaths:
Emmett Till was a nice enough 14 year old kid from the North visiting his cousin in Mississippi who was forcibly taken from his cousin's house and brutally murdered (With an emphasis on "Brutally"; the Before and After pictures of Emmett would turn some people's hair white) by a pair of genuine racists simply for jokingly flirting with a white woman who he didn't know was married.
Trayvon Martin was a 17 year old thug who had an obsession with violence and particularly MMA fighting, was a drug addict and likely a burglar, and was killed quickly in self- defense by a mixed- race man (And one who had been known for counseling and mentoring black youths in the area and for raising public awareness/ outrage over the beating of a black homeless man in the area that was largely being ignored until he got involved) who Trayvon was trying to beat to death, and who had first tried screaming for help and only shot Trayvon when it became clear nobody was going to come and help him in time.
Now, let's look at the trials:
When Emmett Till's murderers went on trial, their defense attorney relied on a flat- out ridiculous argument: He claimed that Emmett Till was in fact still alive! He claimed (All without a shred of real evidence) that the mutilated corpse seen by morticians and Till's mother really belonged to someone else, and that the real Emmett Till was hiding out in Chicago. In spite of how ludicrous this argument was, the killers were acquitted by an all- white jury after less than an hour of deliberation (The jurors apparently even had enough time for a soda break before announcing their verdict). Almost immediately after being acquitted, the two scumbags bragged in magazine interviews that they did indeed kill Emmett to make an example of him.
When George Zimmerman went on trial, his defense attorney used eyewitness testimony, medical records, and other evidence to prove that Martin attacked first and Zimmerman shot him in self- defense. The prosecution, in contrast, used piss- poor arguments based largely on shallow emotional appeals, and the testimony of a witness whose credibility was called into serious question during the cross- examination. Unsurprisingly, Zimmerman was acquitted after the jury deliberated for over 16 hours.
Lastly, let's look at the aftermaths:
Emmett Till's murderers were left alone, and both died at ripe old ages (Though unless they repented of what they did, they are currently experiencing the full penalty of their actions in Hell).
George Zimmerman will likely be tried for civil rights violations by Obama's "justice" department out of pure spite, and he and his family are being deluged with death threats from angry black supremacists.
Again I say, to compare Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till is despicable, and an insult to Till's memory.
