'He tried to get away from the situation': Trayvon’s brother speaks out...
The London Daily Mail ^ | April 14, 2012

The older brother of Trayvon Martin has spoken out about the circumstances surrounding the teens death stating that his sibling, 'tried to get away from the situation'.

Speaking to CNN's 'AC360', 21-year-old Jahvaris Fulton said that he did not recognise his brother in the statements given by George Zimmerman regarding that fateful February night.

'Based on what I heard, with the 911 tapes and all the evidence, he tried to get away from the situation,' said the softly-spoken college student.

'He wasn't violent. So for him to actually jump on someone he doesn't even known, to me that's not him. He's smarter than that.'

Appearing on the cable network three days after Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder, Fulton spoke up against Florida's controversial 'Stand your Ground' law which forms the centre of Zimmerman's defence....

Another “expert” who became an “expert” by occasionally watching CSI. They’re a dime a dozen in this country these days. They’re all “experts”.

Yeah, my mobility scooter tops out at 4.5 MPH, I sure as Hell ain't running.

When we got rid of the horses I gave my saddle scabbard away, could have used it on the scooter.

Did he recognize his Facebook pix? His twitter comments? Was he “too smart” for that, too?

This is just nonsense. This brother is not a witness; he is entitled to his feelings, his grief, his opinion on SYG, but why would a network give him 5 seconds of airtime to discuss any aspect of the case?

A camera bag can carry wonderful things. Things able to call forth thoughts like, “Wonder where that Cracka got that gun from?”

Tell that to the bus driver he ASSAULTED!

***

CNN should interview the bus driver Martin knocked the crap out of.

***

Somebody, allegedly Martin's cousin, tweeted to him (on February 21): ""Yu ain't tell me you swung on a bus driver." That's the only reference I've seen to a bus driver and Martin.

Is that tweet what the two of you are referring to, or is there more evidence of an encounter between Martin and a bus driver?

I don’t see it as that incriminating....approaching Martin doesn’t meet the ‘depraved mind’ test for second degree murder in Florida. There simply is no evidence that proves who started the fight. But there certainly is evidence that Martin did not simply ‘try to run away’...the timeline disproves it.

He was suspended for the assault on the bus driver.

‘He wasn’t violent.’

I heard he slugged his bus driver. Probably dissed him by asking him to sit down in a seat.

Zimmmerman claims Martin went for the gun. I’d like to know who’s fingerprint is on the trigger. It could very well be Martin’s.

After backtracking, walking up to Zimmerman and telling him he now has a problem then I see he failed at trying to get away from the situtation just like he failed at other decision making crossroads in his short life.

This is precisely what’s wrong in the black communities. They prefer to believe the lies... They are blinded by their color and their victimhood.

It happened with the OJ jury and it's still happening. Much of it can be blamed on the multi generational welfare system keeping them in a victim state but then we have the likes of Bill Cozby who one the one hand can speak out against absent fathers but slid right into victimhood over this.

Wasn’t ;Travon the product of parents that were never married.
21-year-old Jahvaris Fulton”s mother still goes with the surname Fulton.
Trayvon could be called Fulton’s Folly! :^}

TM’s been portrayed as some kind of kid. An innocent. At the end of the day I’d guess that TM will be seen that way once there is more information about what he texted and who he made phone calls to.

Well, you COULD have looked at the two street boxing videos wherein little Tray appeared to be refereeing, and which he put on his YouTube site, except for the part where unnamed "others" scrubbed the videos after Wagist.com found them...

The prosecutor will latch onto that action.

If I was the defense attorney, I'd print the timeline on a 2x4, and any time the prosecutor opened its yap about "confrontation", I'd beat his face in with the timeline.

Trayvon, Jahvaris, fifty bazillion spellings of “lakeesha,” stop the insanity.

Germany’s rule that your kid’s name must be an accepted name according to the books (and they have those books in the office) has been looking good for a while.
