Trayvon Martin's parents need to be brought up on charges of child abuse
for allowing the HOODLUM Trayvon Martin to constantly break into homes, rob other people's belongings, and constantly be in fights in the community.

Trayvon Martin's parents need to answer and pay for their crimes!

Here's the title of the actual Florida statute:

776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Oklahoma just a few weeks ago?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

Mr. Strait died from his injuries last week.

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

WHERE IS THE NATIONAL OUTRAGE?

Have they caught the rest of the gang of feral blacks who raped, tortured and murdered this elderly woman? Are they even looking? Not a word about it in the media.

Frankly I’m getting tired of defending myself from charges of racism.

Your comment isn’t helping my cause.

You should have it removed.

The parents.
It would be interesting to draw a diagram of the family tree. It gets complicated.

Sybrina Fulton has two sons, one of whom was fathered by Tracy Martin.
Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon, left his wife and son.
He took a second wife, Alicia Stanley. He left her recently (are they divorced?).
For several years, he has been visiting the home of Brandy Green, his “fiancee”, who has a 14 year old son.

Note: The media have totally ignored both Alicia Stanley and Brandy Green for several months. Tracy Martin seems to spend more time travelling with his first wife, Sybrina, now.
