Did Trayvon Martin Suffer From Gay Panic?
Friends of Ours ^ | 07/16/13 | Friends of Ours

Posted on 07/16/2013 9:00:34 AM PDT by AtlasStalled

The Florida jury which acquitted George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin believed the 17-year-old initiated the violent confrontation against the neighborhood watchman, and perhaps his underlying reason was a homophobic assumption that Zimmerman was a sexual predator.

Last night in an interview on CNN prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel said the following to Piers Morgan:

"People need to understand, he didn't want that creepy ass cracka going to his father or girlfriend's house to go get -- mind you, his little brother is there. Mind you I told you, I told Trayvon, [Zimmerman] might have been a rapist."

Although state prosecutors repeatedly insisted with sinister innuendo in their closing argument that Trayvon Martin had the right to defend himself against being followed by a strange man, surely they did not intend to legally bless a violent assault against Zimmerman simply because the younger man may have thought he was being cruised.

I doubt the MSM will let this go very far: the concept that anyone needs to be concerned about homosexual rape is simply not allowed. Apparently Ms. Jeantel couldn’t read the memo when it came out.

Just when you thought it could not get more absurd.

There has got to be a hamster joke coming down the highway so to speak.

He was subject to child abuse at one point so bring on PETA and the circus will be complete. Minus the vertically challenged.

This will ultimately be fodder for standup comedians with a sarcastic sense of humor.

The bottom line: If somebody racial profiles you, you can kick his ass as long as you want, and there is no justification for the guy watching you to defend himself.

The inconvenient truth for these irrational, race baiting punks (yeah, I used that word to describe anybody white, black, green, purple, or pink that promotes violence) is that the "angelic, saintly" Trayvon attacked and committed a felony assault on George before he was killed.

I only want to know one thing. Why did the prosecutors throw the case? They are trained attorneys of the highest caliber. They couldn’t be that incompetent.

So if they are not incompetent, then why did they lose? I submit that the prosecution are the true racists and they threw the case because Zimmerman was white.

If all these supporters of Trayvon are correct and Zimmerman is guilty, there is only one place to place the blame. That is with the prosecution.

We should have that go viral. At the least it would be fun to watch.

Wouldn't that make Martin the bad guy? I mean gay is now good and honorable, right?

They’re supporting a federal charges, they want justice for Trayvon. Imagine my surprise to find out Trayvon was a homosexual.

So... Trayvon profiled Zimmerman.

That makes his attack murder. Well, attempted murder.

All the blacks told me that profiling was equal to murder.

in most states, if a death occurs while committing a crime, all involved in the crime are guilty. That would make Trayvon guilty of murder... or would that be suicide... ouch... that makes my head hurt.

If anyone was committing a hate crime it was Trayvon Martin.

That'll last about as long as it takes her to find out she's expected to show up for classes and put in some work.

“Defend yourself from being followed”? Huh? Why didnt martin call the police if he was scared? The only one that called police was zimmerman. That tells the story right there.
