What happens when the bully is confronted-in this case death to the bullied
“Be fair, no matter who is on trial—don’t favor either the poor or the rich. Leviticus 19:15 (CEV)

I have tried my best to reframed from making public comments concerning the Trayvon Martin case, but I can’t contain myself any longer.
However, I pray that I am not as prejudice as those who have appeared to speak for George Zimmerman.
“I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.” Ecclesiastes 3:17 ESV
There are several points which come to my mind concerning the issue of guilt or innocence as it pertains to George Zimmerman.
One thing that stands out the most for me is George’s attitude and demeanor seem to portray a person with no regard for another person’s rights.
“The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern”. Proverbs 29:7
The fact that I’ve seen bullies in my life, I’ve been bullied and I, myself, have been a bully, I know a bully when I see one; and I see George Zimmerman as a bully who got caught in his own trap.
Unfortunately for Trayvon, his defense of being bullied may have also caused his death-because a bully can’t defend himself when he’s confronted with the truth, and what George Zimmerman came face to face with was the truth.
Trayvon Martin was threatened by the bully, and he defended himself in fear of his life at the hands of a graven coward.
“I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.” Psalm 140:12
I can think of several Bible quotes that come to mind that would bring a correlation to what would be my reactions that would keep me from prison and that is: “For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Hebrews 10:30
Frederick Douglass’ Fourth of July speech delves a little further into the psychic of people like George Zimmerman and those other warped conscious Americans: “There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour. Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival….”
The trial of George Zimmerman is bending far away from the Law as it is written, yet it appears to be living up to the double standards as it pertains to equal justice for Black people here in America.
How can we continue to abide in an abode that is so blatantly one-sided?
“I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.” Psalm 140:12
One thing for certain is that living in America has poignantly made the search and the need to seek the comfort of God a priority!
“Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.” Isaiah 10:1-2
If there is one message that I would like to leave with George Zimmerman, it’s this: “IT AINT NO FUN WHEN THE RABBIT GOT THE GUN”!!
“He’s a bully who won’t listen to anyone. Isn’t there something you can do? Please think of something! Or else our master and his family and everyone who works for him are all doomed.” 1 Samuel 25:17 (CEV)
