the Martin Family Attorneys

In a twist not even the best fiction writers could have seen coming, the Trayvon Martin case, instigated by a couple of sheister attorneys looking to make money from a tragedy, will reportedly end with George Zimmerman recovering legal damages from Al Sharpton, NBC, and the Trayvon Martin family attorneys, Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump.

The first claim is likely to be intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED). To be successful, Zimmerman will have to show that conduct of Al Sharpton and NBC was so extreme and outrageous that it transcended all bounds of decency; that they acted with either the purpose to cause Zimmerman extreme emotional distress or acted with reckless disregard for Zimmerman's emotional well being, and that Al Sharpton and NBC caused him identifiable emotional damage.

Here, Al Sharpton publicly claimed that Trayvon Martin was murdered and that George Zimmerman should be arrested for the crime.

The ensuing civil unrest and threats of racial violence caused Zimmerman to go into hiding. There is no doubt that crying racism and murder to a group of self-radicalized Black militants is beyond all bounds of decency.

Any White person accused of killing an unarmed Black child because of racism would be terrified of the mob's reaction. If Zimmerman has been treated by a physician for any kind of emotional trauma caused by Sharpton linking him to a murder that never occurred, Sharpton's going to be held responsible.

NBC will likely also be found liable to Zimmerman for lying. Because a producer who admittedly altered an audio recording to make it look like Zimmerman harbored racial prejudices against Blacks. The result made all of America believe that George Zimmerman was the most wretched racist on the planet.

Again, this sort of behavior is wholly unacceptable in a society that values established due process and the search for the truth. This act, combined with Sharpton's incessant race-baiting no doubt caused Zimmerman intense emotional pain.

The second against Al Sharpton and NBC claim is likely to be twofold- defamation and the invasion of privacy.

Al Sharpton feeds off the misery of others while pulling the race card to incite hatred. Don't let this bottom feeder fool you, he doesn't really want equality, then he'd be out of a job.

and doctors would be out of a job without sick people, do you feel their motives are all selfish too?

civil rights activists have noble motives in most cases, and most would be thrilled if there was equality,,,,

Yes, and unfortunately there is too fine a line between a civil rights activist and a racist activist such as Sharpton.

there is a fine line between noble activism and racist activism

Yes, and Sharpton will never be known as noble.

probably not, but as my elders say

even a broken clock is right twice a day

and in this case, Sharpton was/is right

and doctors would be out of a job without sick people, do you feel their motives are all selfish too?

Doctors and civil rights activist is a weak comparison at best. Doctors don't wait for a certain sickness to happen and then pounce upon it because it's a money making opportunity. And also, being sick is universal, it effects everyone. Unless it's a black and white racial thing, Sherpton doesn't touch it. Show me one instance where he has. As far as I'm concerned, he is just as bigoted as those he complains about.

the point was the assumption that someone isnt nobel in pursuing the end of something because it would 'put them out of a job' is false logic

many people attack issues and concerns that they genuinely want to eradicate or lessen, even though it would keep them from having THAT particular job anymore

Sharpton has many things he can and most likely does do that earn an income, IM sure the end of racism is about as likely as the end of illness though

and as long as thats true, Im glad doctors spend most of their career
'pouncing' upon a fairly constant condition that needs to be addressed

so do activists like al sharpton, although many may not believe that racism and bigotry are also universal and affect all of us,,,

Re-read my quote. I said doctors don't pounce like Al Sharpton. And I never said a word about noble. Was his little "Treyvon" speech noble? It did nothing to bring people together, only to call for blood in my opinion.

You totally side-stepped my request to be shown some proof of what you say and injected it with topics laden with personal opinion. Reply if you like...I'm done.

People are such bigots! They never see the forest thru the trees!

The very ones who preach racial inequality are the very ones who promote it, for without it, they are nobody!
