New Black Panthers offer bounty for capture of Trayvon Martin’s killer EXCERPTS: When asked whether he was inciting violence, Muhammad replied defiantly saying: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Muhammad said the group’s national chairman, Dr. Malik Zulu Shabaz of Washington, D.C., is receiving donations from black entertainers and athletes. They hope to collect $1 million by next week, Muhammad said. The party said they would not release the names of donors nor would they provide documentation to support the existence of donations. The New Black Panthers announced the reward at a protest in Sanford Saturday, the activist group’s third protest in the past two weeks over the fatal shooting of the Miami Gardens teen. The group called for Zimmerman’s arrest and threatened to find and detain him if police were not willing to do so. But group members didn’t call for the mobilization of thousands until Saturday. Muhammed led the group in chanting "Justice for Trayvon!" and "Black Power!" "If the government won’t do the job, we’ll do it," Muhammad said, leading his group of eight party members in chants like "freedom or death" and "justice for Trayvon" while making the iconic gesture of raising their fists into the air. The party members said they are tired of the inaction of government officials - from Sanford city officials up to the governor, accusing them of lying and delaying justice. They accused newly appointed special prosecutor Angela Corley of being an enemy of the black community. "She has a track record of sending innocent young black men and women to prison," he said. Sanford police arrived toward the end of the demonstration Saturday asking onlookers and media to avoid walking into the street in front of The Retreat at Twin Lakes where Trayvon was killed. As the officer walked back to his cruiser, Muhammad berated and pointed angrily at him, saying, "If you’d had shown this much concern, Trayvon may still be alive today." The fiery rhetoric and often profanity-laden diatribes made some visitors to the impromptu memorial uncomfortable. Pastor Moses Brown of Tampa said he was disappointed with the Panthers’ approach. "We believe in a message of justice, not hate," said Brown, who was in town to pray at the memorial and attend the Monday event at Sanford’s Civic Center. "We believe justice will come through the court system." Brown, who is also the Chief executive officer of Feed Our Children, said he has been meeting with other Christian ministers to discuss the case. While the Panthers chanted behind him, Brown said: "I see parallel versions of how we are coping with this as a community. Some in anger and us, in prayer. But we are in America, where we have our rights to expression." The Southern Poverty Law Center says the New Black Panther Party, a black- separatist group founded in 1989, is "virulently racist and anti-Semitic," and its leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law officers. Trayvon was killed Feb. 26 in the gated Retreat at Twin Lakes community while walking back to his father’s fiancee’s town house. Zimmerman spotted the unarmed teen and called the Sanford Police Department’s nonemergency line to report a suspicious person. Zimmerman shot Travon before officers could respond. Zimmerman told police he acted in self-defense. He has not been arrested and is not charged with a crime.

If they collect a thousand they'll all overdose and die.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
They're expecting 'hollywood stars' and ' athletes' to donate to the cause, I believe anyone (famous) who puts a dime in on this will have their names dragged through the mud for along time....

LF's swingin' for the fences....;} Imagine what we're doin' in Iraq and the afghans. Pushing the Muslims aside until we can take care of these uppity minorities.
And you can't understand the 'Kony' thing. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality, judiciously, as you will, we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” - Ron Suskind, NYT, Oct 17 2004 African Union launches US-backed force to hunt Kony Reuters, Mar 24 2012 The African Union, backed by the US, has put together a 5,000-strong military force to hunt down fugitive warlord Joseph Kony, whose profile has shot up following a celebrity-backed campaign against him.
