Through their actions, Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman have become forever entwined in the history of race relations of America.
Both had cell phones.
One saw what he thought was suspicious activity, (someone walking on others property, between houses, late at night), and called the police. Because he was not in the street, but between houses, Zimmerman apparently continued to follow Martin. He did so against the advice of the 911 operator, supposedly to get an address.
Allegedly, at this point, Zimmerman was attacked and beaten, leading to his shooting his attacker.
Trayvon Martin the other man in this case recognized he was being followed and possibly in danger of attack. He was not attacked, the mortician said there was no evidence of any physical violence upon Trayvon Martin’s body, nor any defensive scratches or bruises).
Martin did not call anyone, did not report his fear, did not report what he felt was suspicious activity or something possibly illegal.
Apparently and allegedly, without any physical provocation, he attacked Zimmerman, breaking his nose and beating his head repeatedly into the ground. At this time, he was shot and killed by Zimmerman.
Did Zimmerman’s actions, (before the physical altercation), constitute stalking? Yes.
Is he partially responsible for triggering the events that followed? Yes.
Did any of his actions constitute a physical threat to anyone? No.
Did Zimmerman attempt to call for assistance in what he thought was a security breach in his community? Yes.
Did Martin’s actions, (before the physical altercation), constitute trespassing or anything a reasonable person would consider suspicious? Yes.
Is he partially responsible for triggering the events that followed? Yes.
Did his actions, (before the physical altercation), constitute a physical threat to anyone? No.
Did he attempt to call for assistance, …… or threatened? No.....

Did Trayvon Martin get what he deserved? Yes.
How insensitive of you! I saw the picture of Trayvon (where in the hell do they get these names?), and apparently he was in the 5th grade. I saw his picture . . . young . . . innocent . . . kinda’ looked like Obummer.

Trayvon Martin would be alive today had he just kept walking home
Actually, no, I don't think so. It's not about how sensible Americans react to this thug getting shot. It's about motivating the base. To the liberals, this shooting was a tragedy that could have been avoided with more multicultural education an better gun control. This will motivate more of the base to vote, even though they are disappointed with their candidate for the White House. It won't motivate more of us to vote, particularly if we are stuck with Romney, who hates guns and has no redeeming features, so this is a win for the left.
From the movie ROOTS, which was a plagiarism of a novel about the JEWS under NAZI GERMANY's persecution.
Did this happen in a gated community? (I don't know - that's why I'm asking.)
If so, what was he doing there?
If not, why was he walking the alleyways between houses, instead of on the sidewalk/street?
Exactly how big (physically) was Trayvon Martin?
CA....

And didn't Alex Haley get sued for the plagiarism? I'm surprised they haven't resurrected that historical farce. I love how the fact that the muslim Negroes who sold their same people to the slave traders was almost totally de-emphasized. They had the white slave holders running through the bush "capturing" the Negroes.
Did the MSM doctor information to make it appear the shooting was a RACIST act by WHITIE against a poor little black person? YES!
Did the socialist democrat left jump on the story in hopes of gaining political points for their sorry left wing cause? YES!
Did the POVERTY PIMPS Jackson, Sharpton and Farakhan rush to judgement stoking the fire of RACISM in hopes of a big payday? YES!
Did our president stick his big fat foot in his mouth once again jumping to a conclusion based on race before waiting for more facts to be revealed? YES!
It appears that he left the store where he bought the Skittles (or Skillets) between 6 and 6:30, so he easily could have been back in his father's home long before Zimmerman saw him, if he had not decided to walk around casing the neighborhood (in the rain).
Every major city in this country led by a black mayor is a victim of black leadership . What’s a balanced budget to them ? ,,,,, increasing taxes to increase spending . Paying down a debt is not in their agenda and they get re-elected over and over . The usurper-in-chief is simply following their example . Black Liberation Stupidity .
Clarify a few points for me, if you will...

_______________________________________________________
Various reports list Travon Martin at 6’ up to 6’-3” and between 160pounds to 175 pounds.
This was a gated community of sorts, there was an entrance and a very low fence around the complex.
What was he doing there? He was staying with his father who was staying with his girlfriend.
Why was he walking between houses? Who knows, he was a kid, probably taking the shortest distance between two points. If there were no “No Trespassing” signs behind the houses then it would be perfectly legal to walk behind the houses.
It was also perfectly legal to “stalk” Travon Martin if there was not a court order in place to prevent it.
If Travon Martin thought his life was in danger from Zimmerman then He could have possibly had a reasonable reason for attacking Zimmerman, but that would be a very big stretch.
If Travon Martin did in fact come up from behind then he likely had no compelling reason to attack Zimmerman either in a self defense or stand your ground logic.
While it may be easy to say “if Zimmerman had only stayed in his truck”, that would be hindsight. It would be easy to say, “If Zimmerman only had not been carrying a gun” then everything would be ok. Actually Zimmerman might be dead. Latinos die all the time at the hands of a killer and the case is USUALLY never solved. Most killers in the US are not caught. Since 1908 through 2008 nearly 200000 murders have not been caught. Zimmerman was close to being a part of those statistics. In many of our large “Black” communities such as Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans only about 10% to 15% of the murders are solved. When Murders were crimes of passion it was much easier to suspect the girlfriend or boyfriend of the deceased. Now with drug gangs in charge of our inner cities there is no way to know who did it. More people are carrying concealed weapons than at any time in the history of the country, we are an armed society.
Had Zimmerman not worried about another house getting robbed by some “punk” none of this would have happened. I hope someone is watching my house and tries to keep it from getting robbed by a stranger in the neighborhood.
