New Black Panther Party offering $10,000 reward for 'capture' of Trayvon Martin shooter

Members of the New Black Panther Party, the same group that intimidated white voters in front of a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day in 2008, is offering a $10,000 reward for the 'capture' of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who fatally shot black teen Trayvon Martin in central Florida last month.

Yesterday racism-inciter Jesse Jackson added to the frenzy by declaring that "blacks are under attack."

The reward was announced at a protest, one that included a chant of "freedom or death."

UPDATE March 27: The NBPP spokesman who offered the bounty has been arrested on an unrelated gun charge.
