Another Piece of the Zimmerman Narrative Falls Apart (Update: Aceloanche!)

Update: Thanks for another Aceolanche.

This next item presented a dilemma for me.  It comes from the Smoking Gun.  It is incredibly germane to the ongoing Zimmerman story.  But at the same time I have a history with the Smoking Gun.  Early in the Weinergate scandal I watched them dox Mike Stack.  This was part of an overall campaign of intimidation that included making him the first victim of the Kimberlin-connected SWATtings.  All Mike had done was retweet Weiner’s infamous d*ckpic.  Seriously of what relevance was Mike’s past to the congressman’s behavior?  No one deserved what they did to him.

Mike doesn’t like me very much these days, but right and wrong doesn’t change according to how nice a person is to you, and when they did that I put them forever on my “sh*t list.”  No links, no nothing.

So I will be yanking their documents from their servers.

And that is because this document is interesting.  It is the FBI’s report on its discussions with Chris Serino, the lead investigator who passed on filing charges on Zimmerman.  You will be able to read the whole thing in a few minutes, but here are some choice passages:

Serino explained to agents that the local gangs, referred to in the community as “GOONS”, typically dressed in black and wore hoodies.

In other words, Martin was dressed very similarly to the local gangs.  Again, could have been innocent, but there you go.  Which is interesting, but here is the bombshell:

He listed Sgt AUTHOR BARNS, REBECCA VILLENOVE (phonetic), and TREKELL PERKINS as all pressuring him to file charges against ZIMMERMAN after the incident.  Serino did not believe he had enough evidence at the time to file charges.  Serino also stated that Barns is friendly with TRACY MARTIN.

In other words, far from a good old boy conspiracy in favor of Zimmerman, Martin’s family had connections with the cops

Feel free to peruse the documents below the fold.  Use all the usual tricks to enbiggen them.

By the way in other news, we have reports of black on Hispanic violence inspired by the Trayvon Martin shooting.  The liberal media should be ashamed of themselves.

Reportedly this occurred in Maryland.  They didn’t dare do it in Virginia because if you try it here you are libel to be shot.  Still if reports are verified, hate crime charges should be filed.  And if not, will Holder intervene?

Disclaimer:

I have accused some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct.  In some cases, the conduct is even criminal.  In all cases, the only justice I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice system.  I do not want to see vigilante violence against any person or any threat of such violence.  This kind of conduct is not only morally wrong, but it is counter-productive.

In the particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him.  Do not call him.  Do not write him a letter.  Do not write him an email.  Do not text-message him.  Do not engage in any kind of directed communication.  I say this in part because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want that to happen to him.

And for that matter, don’t go on his property.  Don’t sneak around and try to photograph him.  Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision.  Your behavior could quickly cross the line into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).

And do not contact his organizations, either.  And most of all, leave his family alone.

The only exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any stories you might report.  And even then if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request.  That this is a key element in making out a harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you refuse.

And let me say something else.  In my heart of hearts, I don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above.  But if any of you have, stop it, and if you haven’t don’t start.
