Trayvon’s father also worked through he grief by impregnating his new girlfriend.

(From article) :" She said her son’s death was a reminder of the ugliness that still lives on in American society."

Mother who has had several relationships
Mother who passeed her child along since she couldn't handle hom.
Child who lived with his grandmother , passed along .
Child who possessed stolen property while in school, never attributed to him since school and police were trying to minimalize criminal instances 'in-school'.
Stolen property never followed up by police .
Step-father who didn't even miss him until a day later.
Now she is the aggirieved Mother !

I don’t lose a lot of sleep about dead gangbangers who get themselves killed while committing crimes.

I think also Trayvon’s step-mother was a gang banger too

Too bad she didn’t get this involved in raising her son to be a good and productive citizen. It’s a bit late now, Ma’am.

Seriously?

The problem has been the focus on irrelevant arguments – some of which are actually unsupported by the evidence.

1. ‘George Zimmerman (GZ) racially profiled Trayvon Martin (TM)’ There is no evidence of this.

2. ‘GZ disobeyed an order by the police’ * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.

3. ‘GZ got out of his car’ Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.

4. ‘GZ followed TM’ Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the RS only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.

5. ‘GZ wasn’t really injured’ * Under Florida’s self-defense laws, one doesn’t have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.

6. ‘TM is dead through no fault of his own’ * If you believe that TM assaulted GZ, then he IS dead as a result of his own actions.

7. ‘GZ could have left’ * Under Florida law, there is not a duty to withdraw rather than use deadly force * TM was straddling GZ so how the latter was supposed to leave the scene is unanswered.

8. ‘GZ was armed and TM wasn’t’ * One’s fists can be considered weapons and can result in severe bodily harm or death. * GZ was legally carrying a weapon * There is no requirement under the law that the same weapon be used by the assailant * A homeowner can kill an intruder whether or not he has been threatened * Those that attack cannot feign surprise if they are met with superior firepower.

9. ‘Stand Your Ground!’ * SYG is NOT at issue in this trial. * The defense is a classic self-defense case.

10. ‘Black men NEVER get to use SYG!’ * Wrong

There's black trash, there's white trash, there's all kinds of trash. Many times the trash gets taken out, as in this case.

The MSM, Obama, Holder, etc., were trying to use this to stir up strife and they were successful.

This is the MSM, Obama, Holder, etc....


Romans 1:..

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Proverbs 6:16-19

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

If someone was following you around your neighborhood with a gun...

GZ wasn't "following him around" and TM didn't know GZ was armed until after he initiated the assault.

Al Sharpton would be proud of that spin.

"...She said her son’s death was a reminder of the ugliness that still lives on in American society..."

She is so right, but not in the way she thinks...

Being honest is the first step.

I still think she is living in a fantasy world. Certainly the media has not delved deeply into the family life of George Zimmerman’s assailant.

Thanks for all those.

Florida was ripped up by all the hype surrounding George Zimmerman and his assailant.

Stand Your Ground is still the law of the land. And that is a good thing.

...also, IIRC, Zimmerman was ON HIS WAY BACK TO HIS VEHICLE when he was sucker punched by his assailant.
