A very bad idea: New Black Panthers offer $10,000 bounty for capture of shooter George Zimmerman


( not to mention illegal)

2:54 p.m. EST, March 24, 2012|By Arelis R. Hernandez, Orlando Sentinel


SANFORD — Members of the New Black Panther Party are offering a $10,000 reward for the "capture" of George Zimmerman, leader Mikhail Muhammad announced during a protest in Sanford today.

When asked whether he was inciting violence, Muhammad replied defiantly saying: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

The bounty announcement came moments after members of the group called for the mobilization of 5,000 black men to capture George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin last month.

Muhammad said members of his group would search for Zimmerman themselves in Maitland and Jacksonville -- where the 28-year old worked before the shooting, employees there told the Orlando Sentinel. But he declined to say when they will begin their hunt.

As if the SYG didn't basically do that anyway.

Stupid move.

please don't confuse the two.

And with 100's of extremist white groups why wouldn't you think there would be some black extremist or other ethnic groups ?

100's of thousands of whites say hateful and violent comments... why give these people any credibility.

that New Black Panther is a tiny group. All over this country are black men groups and diverse justice groups that deserve much more attention.

... they will be turning him into a victim.

Don't dishonor Trayvon Martin and his family's opportunity for justice.
