If you weren

[Tzimisce]

A statue of him smoking a joint and giving everyone the finger?

[Fester Chugabrew]

I would approve relocating it to a fire hydrant.

[Salamander]

There are still people grieving his “murder” on Facebook.

[BenLurkin]

A bronzed bag of Skittles?

Martin was the unarmed African-American teenager who was shot by a neighborhood watch coordinator two years ago while walking to his Florida home while talking on his cellphone.

More accurately: "Martin was the aspiring 17-year mixed-martial arts fighter who was shot after attacking, knocking down and bashing in the head of a neighborhood watch coordinator who was subsequently proven to have been acting in self-defense."

Even this article claims he was killed while talking to his gf.

he was killed when he tried to murder another guy for looking at him

[MNDude]

I’ll gladly piss on it next time I visit MA.

“According to WBUR, Matthew Hincman, an associate professor at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, attached the small, cylindrical metal statue to a lamppost a couple weeks ago without any official permission from authorities.”

Hey look at me!!!

Nobody noticed my “art” so I called the radio station (’BUR) that panders to people like me.

Note to associate professor Matt: Next time use a spray can, at least the Graffiti Squad will notice.

[Mears]

One of my sons lives right near it-——I’ll pass this info along. :-)

By pairing Martin’s death with the Civil War monument, Hincman aimed to make “a contemporary marker to how far we’ve come in terms of race relations, in terms of power and equality since the end of slavery, since the end of the Civil War.”

At the time of the Civil War, the Democrats pandered for votes by appealing to racism. Now, the Democrats pander for votes by appealing to racism. Some things never change. The Democrats always will be the Party of Race.

[Bogey78O]

The spin. He was just walking down the road...

[Menehune56]

And the authorities won’t have the guts to remove this monument to stupidity.

[Tx Angel]

At least he killed the “reparations” argument.

[Telepathic Intruder]

But just try to un-attach this without permission, and you'll be charged with defacing public property.

[PoloSec]

Now all liberals have somewhere to go, an icon, for worship, prayer and every kind of perverted pomp and ceremony.

[Salamander]

Maybe he had her on speakerphone while he was bashing George’s head to a pulp.

[Secret Agent Man]

someone threw a hoodie on a lamp post?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Weird. I thought that was a salute to the marathon bombers. Oh well, what difference does it make!

[Stepan12]

Sick. Trayvon Martin is the Horst Wessel of our day.
