Trayvon' parents? Trayvon had no parents.
That's what really got him killed.
I’m getting sick of hearing from these people! Where were they when their precious boy was alive? Letting him run all over the streets and turning into a real good thug. That’s where they were.
The pastor of Northland Church is Joel Hunter. Look up his background. Perfect example of someone in a Pastoral position being enthralled by Obama’s status. He is one of the “pastors” that privately councils Obama when he is on the golf course. He will give account to God.
How about calling on parents like themselves to discipline their children and keep them off drugs.
According to what Zimmerman has said, Martin was trying to get his gun. So it wasn't just the danger of being knocked unconscious by repeatedly having his head hit against the concrete sidewalk, but a real danger of being shot dead with his own gun.
But Zimmerman is guilty for walking around his neighborhood rather than staying in his vehicle. Or for not being at the movie theatre. Or whatever.
How many times do you have to let your head hit the pavement before you can put an end to it?
Is that anything like the "Make My Day Law?"
These hoplophobes are idiots. Howabout we ban hoodies instead?
Don't kid yourself, Zimmerman is in trouble not for what he did, but who he did it to.
After that, they are going to demand reconsideration of the shoot-while-your-head-is-getting-bashed-against-the-pavement law.
Trayvon's mother shipped him off to his father because she couldn't control him anymore and his father was too busy with his girlfriend to actually discipline the little thug. At the end of the day, crucifying George Zimmerman won't absolve you from the guilt you should be feeling from your failure to be parents and role models for your son.
In this case the rotten fruit was indicative of the tree it fell from.
bingo!
If they’re spearheading this campaign, couldn’t we at least call it the “Shoot Trayvon First” law?
Jesse just called: Spearheading sure sounds a lot like spearchucking! LOL
Since 2005 in Florida there have been 7000 murders and 258 cases of ‘Stand Your Ground’.
And these liberal pukes gathering at Northland church want to take away your right to defend yourself.
Joel Hunter is a piece of work.
Well Said —
They should buy lots of Lottery Tickets.
Shoot first?
Its stand your ground, not shoot first and I know where the maggots who wrote this are coming from!
He's in trouble because this happened in an election year with a desperate Halfrican president looking for an issue.
