Where is George Zimmerman when you need him? Oh that’s right. The Florida authorities, who never locked up Trayvon Martin for burglary or drug dealing or assaulting a bus driver, chose to lock up Zimmerman after he was forced to defend himself from a violent assault from the protected Black criminal class.

An article from WTSP.com in Tampa, Florida reports: “Police want your help finding four men who teamed up to beat a young U.S. Army soldier in a South Tampa street. It was an awful welcome to Tampa Bay for a young soldier. Police say the victim of a violent beating caught on camera is 24 years old and has lived in Tampa for less than a month. He’s a U.S. Army soldier assigned to MacDill Air Force Base and lives not far from the base at Dale Mabry Hwy. and Interbay Blvd.”

“Police say Sunday morning, at around 3 a.m., the soldier’s car broke down a few miles from home along Westshore Blvd. The attack came when he was walking home and using Iowa St. to get from Westshore to Dale Mabry. At the intersection of Iowa and Renellie Dr., the man came into the view of a neighbor’s motion-activated security camera. A group of three young men is seen walking ahead of the soldier. Police say one of the men in the group doubled back and asked (the) soldier to borrow a dollar. When the soldier reached for his wallet, the first punch flew.”

Does anyone remember how Zimmerman described his encounter with Trayvon? The Black youth suddenly appears out of the darkness, says something to distract the victim and then sucker-punches the victim.

The article continues “The first, tremendous sucker punch laid the victim onto the ground. The other two men joined in, punching and kicking the soldier. A fourth man comes sprinting into view from the left edge of the video. The new attacker — a man the soldier said he had walked past earlier — joined in the beating. Tampa Police officers say the crooks stole the soldier’s wallet and cell phone, then took off south on Renellie Dr. When he eventually got to his feet, the victim had to knock on doors to find someone to help him call 911.”

“The soldier was taken to Tampa General Hospital with cuts and bruises on his face and head. Police say he is expected to make a full recovery. Police say they haven’t gotten many useful details about the suspects from the video.”

“The victim was not able to tell police much more: they’re all in their late teens to early 20′s. Two were black men with an average build, police said. One attacker was possibly Hispanic, also with an average build. The fourth man was also black, but with a heavier build. Police are hoping someone knows about this brutal beating and will call Tampa Police at 813-354-6600 to help them find the attackers.’ ”

Good luck with that. I doubt if one percent of the victims of random gang-beatings ever see their attackers prosecuted.

The Negroes in question didn’t yell “this is for Trayvon,” so it was possibly the usual casual Black-on-White violence that takes place every day across this country in a thousand separate incidents. None of these violent attacks are considered “Black hate crimes” but if the races were reversed, you can bet that the district attorney would automatically assume a similar White-on-Black beating was a hate crime.

The similarity between this and the Trayvon Martin incident is obvious, except this time there were four attackers. If the soldier had been armed like Zimmerman and used a weapon to defend himself against what was essentially a racially motivated attack intended to inflict grievous bodily harm, then no doubt he’d have been arrested and charged like Zimmerman was –in flagrant disregard for the “stand your ground” law which allows Americans the right to use a firearm to prevent such injuries. Notice our military takes away sidearms from returning troops and officers even though these soldiers apparently need guns more here in their home towns than they did in Afghanistan.

I guess in Florida when a White man is attacked by one or more Blacks you’re just supposed to fall to the ground, curl up in a fetal position, and hope the primates are in a good mood and don’t beat you to death.
