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.
Great point!
I’m sorry but how is it homophobic to assume someone is a sexual predator? The two have NOTHING to do with each other. More idiocy from the loony left.
Dam so now its all the groups
We have an Hispanic man shot a black man because the black man was beating him because he thought he was a gay man and then women judge and all women jury let him off....but as always ..its white straight man’s fault....
Oh! An because of his name many think Zimmerman must be Jewish! !!..
Like is said..everybody’s in the pool!!!
No, apparently its now reversed. Trayvon was the real villain because he assumed Zimmerman was a homosexual and reacted violently. Perhaps the left wants Trayvon charged with hate crime posthumously. These people are truly moonbats7it.
Listening to this feral fool is like listening to the sweepings in the bag of my vacuum. Don’t worry, though. Someday after she gets her “college degree”, nobama will make her a czar of something (maybe cursive writing).
There were those kind of attacks recently in San Fran after one of their pride parades.
We need to start circulating a petition around the LGBT community to have Eric Holder file post-mortem civil rights charges against Trayvon Martin!
If Zimmerman was a gay minority cruising for underage boys and using racial terms on the phone (per Nancy Grace) he wouldn’t be a neighborhood watch captain; he’d be a democrat congressman.
“Gay panic” is, I think, the defense used by those two guys who killed Matthew Shepard ... the murder of whom drove implementation of the federal hate crimes laws.
Which is why this woman’s latest statements are so interesting. They provide circumstantial evidence and possible motivation for Martin to have circled around and assaulted Zimmerman because he thought Zimmerman was a gay rapist.
THAT would make Martin the one illegally profiling and engaging in an attack prosecutable under federal hate crimes laws ...
As was suspected during the trial, this woman seems to have ducked out after Trayvon’s death because she provoked Trayvon’s assault on this man.
That rings a bell. Another incident I remember was in Georgetown, VA, apparently a homosexual-rich environment.
