If you want your life back.. stop the BS about your ‘good’ son, who was attacking George Zimmerman, who is Hispanic. You didn’t raise your son...

Then there's that thing about bashing Zimmerman's head into the concrete and raining punches down on his face. Yeah, there's that, plus the color of his skin.

Both of you are correct in terms of Trayvon.

Wow, you brought up 10 totally irrelevant things.

I just asked you if YOU like to be followed around your own neighborhood with a gun.

GZ wasn't "following him around"

He wasn't following him around? That's what he said on tape.

M didn't know GZ was armed until after he initiated the assault.

How do you know what happened? Do you have a video?

Nice of Trayvon’s sperm donor to impregnate his new egg donor while grieving the loss of Fruit, Jr. Did Fruit get a future Thug or whore by egg donor?

No he didn't. He observed a suspicious person from a distance while he reported to the police. He got out of the vehicle when he lost sight of TM and the dispatcher asked where TM had gone.

How do you know what happened? Do you have a video?

No, I followed the trial and heard the EVIDENCE.

So what are you trolling for?

A) He was the head of the neighborhood watch there, even though he was on his way to the grocery store and (B) he is & was a state-licensed concealed weapons carrier (CCW) and did not brandish his weapon to Trayvon Martin and (C) it is perfectly legal to follow behind in your vehicle or on foot if you think something is suspicious. There had been numerous break-ins, burglaries and other crimes there.

No, he has the sworn testimony that I alluded to earlier.

Trayvon Martin wasn't murdered. Incidentally, as there are so many musical and skittle tributes to Trayvon Martin, I finally did mine. I call it The Trayvon Martin Lied and I modeled after the Nazi Horst Wessel Lied. I think those two...martyrs are similiar in behavior and as cultural markers of evil societies.

Amazing how she travels out west now stirring up the race hustlers. Her son was over 200 miles north from her section 8 housing in the Miami area visiting his father while suspended from school. Now, the father who claimed he was so torn up, too, was living off his girlfriend in an area that was going downhill. That is why Zimmerman was doing what he was as the area was going downhill. Regardless, these folks want to blame everyone except themselves for being terrible role models. This is the welfare state where they blame others as they have no job and do not accept responsibility except to hold their hands out and bitch.

I know this topic has been "talked to death", but there is an item I have not seen discussed (I may have missed it) so here goes:

Travon was coming home with the 2/3rds of the components for lean so he could get high with his brother and watch the game. He knew he was being followed and was on the phone with Rachel Jeantel talking about Zimmerman, the "creepy ass cracker". He doubles back and attacks Zimmerman. We know the rest.

Rachel Jeantel, on the stand, talks about deliberately avoiding the funeral AND Travon's mother. To me a key question is: WHY?

This is pure speculation on my part, but this is what I suspect:

As I recall, she testified something about Travon wanting to protect his brother from a suspected pedophile. Travon already had an aggressive attitude from the side effects of "lean" use. The autopsy showed the extensive liver damage. He was known to participate in fights and knew how to handle himself. Jeantel stated that the "cracka" comment refered to a cop or a security guard, so their mindset about Zimmerman was clearly not in the direction of him being some sort of gay stalker.

I think the conversation happened, as stated, up to a point. Then Jeantel suggested Travon go kick his ass. One small verbal push may have been all that was needed. She absolutely could NOT tell that on the stand. If she told the truth Zimmerman would go free because he was attacked by Travon. She would be the person who got her friend killed. All of the bad things that were being said about Travon would have the support of the truth. Jackson and Sharpton would be shown for who they are. Oh, no no no no. So she came up with the pedo lie to cover up what was really said on the cell phone.

After that she didn't go to the funeral or see his mother because she could not face all of those people when she knew the truth: if she had not urged him to attack Zimmerman, he would still be alive today. He would probably be looking for a new liver at taxpayer expense, but he would be alive.

Did this happen? Only one person beyond G-d knows.

Again, this is my own speculation to explain something that doesn't seem to fit the testimony.

But is it plausible? Absolutely.

Lastly, something most important - we need to hold these people up in prayer. I don't know what Travon's family have felt or are feeling. But I know what it is like to loose a child; there is no good way for that to happen. If I was confronted with with what was in front of them I cannot say how I would react. I hope and pray I never find out. And I pray they find peace.
