It seems as though law enforcement officials would frown upon a group calling for vigilante “justice” and, perhaps, even investigate the people offering a bounty for George Zimmerman’s “capture.”

If you’re black, however, not only is this allowed, but the media will help you get the word out!

Over the weekend, members of the New Black Panther Party showed just how tense the situation in the Trayvon Martin shooting has gotten: They offered a $10,000 bounty for the capture of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed the unarmed teenager. The Orlando Sentinel reports that Mikhail Muhammad announced the reward during a protest on Saturday, and when a Sentinel reporter asked if he was inciting violence, Muhammad said, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” Nationally the shooting death has brought up questions about whether Zimmerman, who was on a Neighborhood Watch patrol, profiled Martin and whether Sanford police’s failure to arrest Zimmerman had to do with racism. (Snip) The Sentinel also reported that the group “called for the mobilization of 10,000 black men to capture Zimmerman.”

Spike Lee is doing his part by making public the home address of George Zimmerman.
