George Zimmerman has put up for auction the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin with. He says on the website where he’s selling the firearm that part of the proceeds from its sale will be used to “fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers.” BLM as in Black Lives Matter. He also states he’s doing this ”exactly one year after the shooting attempt to end my life by BLM sympathizer Matthew Apperson.” Apperson is the man currently awaiting trial for taking a shot at Zimmerman (and missing) in Lake Worth, Florida, last year.
No documentation exists yet to verify that Apperson is in fact a “Black Lives Matter sympathizer,” however ample evidence exists that conservatives, members of law enforcement and their supporters are liars who accuse Black Lives Matter of violence against the police. They are lying. They are liars. They are.
As has been pointed out, the main purveyors of violence against law enforcement officers in this country are white men. And that police who try to link BLM to the deaths of police officers are lying. They are liars.
“A lie will travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on.” This quote, and/or variations of it, has been attributed to Mark Twain or Winston Churchill, depending on who you talk to. Perhaps a more fitting quote can be found by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Pretty much.
