George Zimmerman Will be Charged For Killing Trayvon Martin

The ReadyWriter

At 6 p.m. today, a prosecutor will announce official charges against George Zimmerman for the February 26 killing of Trayvon Martin. Authorities also supposedly know where George Zimmerman is.

Well I say: It’s about damn time!!!! Especially since the evidence was pretty much cut and dry from the onset of this terrible tragedy, while giving Zimmerman plenty enough time to flee the country.

Zimmerman has asserted since this case has sparked protest and outrage; that he shot 17-year-old Trayvon martin, in self-defense after the two fought. However., a 911 call (made public) clearly indicated Zimmerman had targeted the teen and pursued him all along.

The self-proclaimed neighborhood watchman used his racial hatred to hide behind Florida’s so-called stand your ground law, which gives people wide latitude to claim self-defense in a killing and other altercations.

Let’s tune in at 6:00 p.m. to see what the charges will be. I’ll be watching from PoliticsNation, because I know Al Sharpton will have the coverage LIVE.

Cops in Sean Bell Shooting Forced Out of The NYPD

The ReadyWriter

Three officers involved in the controversial Sean Bell shooting case will be forced out of the NYPD by Monday, including one who will be fired.

An NYPD departmental judge ruled to fire Detective Gescard Isnora (who will not get his pension), Detective Michael Oliver and Detective Marc Cooper. Lt. Gary Napoli has also been forced to leave the NYPD. Napoli was a supervisor on the scene that night but did not fire his weapon.

“It’s a slap on the wrist”, said Bell’s father, William Bell. “They’re going to get another job, their life is going to go on while mine is just stuck.”

Isnora was the detective who fired first, in a hail of 50-shots that killed 23-year-old Sean Bell, who was unarmed in the early morning hours on his wedding day. The November 2006 shooting, which occurred outside of a Queens strip club, also injured were Bell’s friends; Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield.

Two sisters murdered in Boynton Beach, Florida

The ReadyWriter

Sisters, Janice Rahming, 54, and Daphne Clemons, 42, were gunned down in their Boynton Beach home on Saturday night. The bold part about this story is, Detectives say two people opened the front door of the home on Northeast Second Court around 10:45 p.m. carrying high-powered semi-automatic rifles and began shooting at the women.

Police say, there is no reason to believe this was a random shooting or a home  invasion. It appears the house was targeted by the shooters and is likely connected to other recent acts of violence in Boynton Beach. The police implying, the shootings may have been a retaliation of some sort.

Police Chief Matt Immler said the shooting could be drug or gang-related, possibly a retribution, adding that; detectives aren’t ruling anything out. It appears nothing was  stolen from the home.

The sisters were mothers, wives and a grandmother; the husband of one of the sisters said; they did everything together. And while the younger sister was only visiting here sisters as she often did, she may have been targeted as well.

This story is so sad and shocking, I have relatives all over Florida, in Boynton Beach especially. Thanks to my cousin Amanda (who lives in Atlanta, GA) for the story tip. Amanda was close with the younger sister and is extremely devastated by this tragedy.
