Rep. Maxine Waters says Trayvon Martin killing may be hate crime

South Bay Rep. Maxine Waters on Wednesday characterized the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin as a "hate crime" during an appearance on CNN.

"There are too many unanswered questions and I really, personally, believe this is a hate crime," Waters said during a joint early morning television interview with Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo.

Martin, a 17-year-old African-American, was fatally shot last month by George Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch leader. Zimmerman, who was not charged with a crime, has said he acted in self-defense after Martin punched him. Zimmerman has a white father and Latino mother.

The existence of Maxine Waters is a hate crime against Americans, Buddha, the universe and God.

Heh, someone sent that to me the other day after I regrettably clicked on a link about the “OctoMom”, and there was a “picture” on the website of that British tabloid!

I’m right here in Texas, but, for the life of me, I continually confuse Sheila Jackson Lee and Waters. Dopplegangers.

“I really, personally, believe this is a hate crime,” Waters said during a joint early morning television interview with Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo. “

I simply have to laugh at a person as mean spirited and ignorant as she appears to be! I’ve been watching these race baiting, riot instigators over this last week and have become CONVINCED that they are judging Mr. Zimmerman by “their” poor standards... NOT by the FACTS. It is easy to identify who is being racially profiled in this situation and it’s Mr. Zimmerman. The race profiling arrows are “all” pointing at Sharpton, Jackson, Waters and many others in their little hate-group.
They are blatantly distorting the truth, thinking if they say it often enough it will become a fact!
Truly....if it wasn’t for hating on whitey would they even have a purpose? IMO, it’s like they create drama and hate so they can get their faces in the news....they are sad and pathetic and we need to start calling them out about judging and labeling others by “THEIR OWN” bias standards while ignoring the true facts!

Interesting. I had not listened to this recording before. It seemed completely straightforward to me.

The guy calls the cops, about 84 seconds into the call, Martin walks towards him.

At 124 seconds in, Martin runs. Zimmerman hasn't said a word to him.

Zimmerman gets out of his car and you can hear the door shut behind him.

Two minutes later, the call ends.

I ran the audio through Audio Hijack Pro (not an expert) and the part where some people are asserting he called Martin a "F****ng coon" is hard to hear, but I can clearly tell it begins with a "P" and not a "C".

if you listen to it in a loop (which I have linked to) you can make out he is saying "F****g Punks!"

HERE IS A SLOWED DOWN, ENHANCED LOOP OF ZIMMERMAN

It CLEARLY isn't "coons", the word is a puckered "P". No mistaking it.

Wow! That's an excellent job. Yes, it is quite clear there. Just listening to the un-enhanced version I thought it sounded like "boots" and a 'b' sound has a similar sound as a 'p'. 'Boots' didn't make much sense though.

In a stretch I thought he could have stepped in a puddle of water and his boots leaked but who wears boots in FL in town? 'Punks' makes sense. The extremely outdated 'coons' does not. I'm 57 and that was passe when I was a teenager.

Here’s my response to Maxine Waters, in ‘Zimmerman’:

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth
Blowing down the backroads headin’ south
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
You’re an idiot, babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe

I just listened to the original again and it’s clear as crystal now. “Punks”

When I first began listening to it, slowing it down, speeding it up, adjusting stuff, it became immediately clear the word began with a “P”.

For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what word it was. I was pretty sure it sounded like “pogue”, which is a military epithet I AM familiar with, but it completely didn’t fit the context.

I fear Maxine’s mere existence is a hate crime...
