For art, socialism, ratings, and money: Hollywood exploits tragedy and drives the progressive agenda ...
Ideas need to come from somewhere, and in Hollywood, its usually the news that drives episodic crime stories. With a dash of good old progressive moral equivalence in the end. But consider how this story is being sold …
'Paula Deen SHOOTS Trayvon Martin' in new SVU that wraps both scandals into one controversial episode... and Cybill Shepard plays gun-wielding TV chef
- Cybill Shepard plays Jolene Castille, a famous southern chef who guns down an unarmed, hoodie-wearing black teen in New York
- Castille claims she killed the teen in an act of self-defense because she knew police were chasing a rapist of the same description
- On Wednesday, pictures emerged from the SVU set, sparking rumors the show was taking on the George Zimmerman trial
- 'Can self-defense involve racial profiling? We're diving right into that,' the TV show's executive producer said
'Law & Order SVU' is tackling racial profiling head on in an upcoming episode that winds together the controversial Trayvon Martin case and the Paula Deen scandal.
In the episode, Cybill Shepard plays Jolene Castille, a famous southern chef. But instead of making a racial slur, like Deen, she guns down an unarmed, hoodie-wearing black teen she thought was following her on the Upper West Side, mirroring the Trayvon Martin slaying.
According to TV Guide, Castille claims she killed the teen in an act of self-defense because she knew police were chasing a rapist of the same description.

It is both dishonest and disingenuous for the mainstream media and the Hollywood Hacks to confuse and conflate the Zimmerman case with this made-for-tv garbage. First, Zimmerman was an ordinary community-minded citizen who happened to encounter a gansta thug on his way to the store. He did everything right, observed a suspicious person and notified the police. He was returning to his vehicle when he was viciously attacked by Trayvon Martin – who precipitated his own death. As for being unarmed – he had two potentially lethal fists and apparently the will to use them to inflict bodily harm on Zimmerman. And, as we found out after the fact, Trayvon Martin participated in a previous residential burglary and was caught red-handed with a burglar tool and the jewelry taken from a home. All covered up by the Miami-Dade School Police to improve the school’s stats on young black men as criminals.
As for Paula Deen, she used the n-word thirty years ago and there are no pending charges against her. Another person demonized by the race-baiters for personal gain and profit. If the blacks are so afraid of that word, why do they use it so much? If that blacks are so stupid as to convey life-changing power to the use of that word, then what is wrong with them and what is wrong with the rest of society. You don’t have to use the word to be a racist – and even if you use the word – it is the person that allows themselves to be victimized. How crazy is that?
I do not know what the hell the producers of this abomination are thinking, but it should give us pause to examine the motives of progressive socialist democrats who are willing to do or say anything to advance their cause and line their pockets.
Bottom line …
I think this goes beyond progressive moralizing and the political correctness, multiculturalism, and moral equivalency they normally inject in what amount to adult soap operas. I think it is a naked play for ratings to revive the current sagging ratings of a program that is already long-in-the-tooth and is merely a time-filler.
Personally, I would much rather watch Phil, Willie, Jase, Si, and the family at Duck Dynasty. Where God and Guns are feted not demonized and where atheists and ducks are afraid to visit.
