Trayvon Martin vigils sweep the country two years after his death
Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, February 26, 2014 | Jessica Chasmar

Vigils are being planned across the country to mark the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin — a case that has stoked racial tensions and questioned Florida’s “stand your ground” laws for the past two years.

Rallies are being held in major cities across the country, and many participants are being asked to wear hoodies in solidarity with the slain teen.

This punk was the prime example of African American male teens to 20’s as Momma has the kid going to school in Miami, the kid gets in trouble again so she sends him to his Daddy’s new girlfriend and to him 200 miles away. The father is living off his new gal and he is just a helluva role model for the kid. Welcome to what I see is the problem for most black America young men being raised by momma. Any male being raised by momma is going to have problems. Yes, there are some awesome black fathers who spend time with their son, but; that # is low. In general divorce is to easy and to many women are raising a kid by themselves.

Actually a malignant hemorroid, just like that wannabe murderer, who was tragically cut down at the very beginning of a brilliant criminal career.

"Alert the USPS-——that would make a great Forever stamp."

If they make it the old lickable stamp and have it taste like Sizzurp or Purple Drank it might just put the USPS back in the black! Does the Post Office take EBT Cards?

Just add a word to the existing street signs to make them Trayvon Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevards.

Are vigils for the “knockout” victims “sweeping the land”????

So what would be the appropriate greeting...

Happy Trayvon Day!

Merry Trayvon Martin Day!

May the Thug Be With You!

It would be so easy to create a stir by creating pictures of “Trayvon in Hell”, being tormented by demons. It would be extra funny if the demons looked like prominent racialists, such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Sweep?

There will maybe be 10. Most of those will have 12 people, and maybe 4 dumb white kids.

Expect lots of close-up shots to hide all of the emptiness.

Seems NO_LIMIT_NIGGA didn’t run when he thought someone was following him, so how come if the little thug didn’t have to run that Zimmerman should have to run?

Seems mama’s little thug violated her desire for people to run away from aggression.

Good thing his mama trademarked his name. There is a lot of money to be made off the Trayvon merchandise.

Just saw a story on CNN about a cop fatally shooting a firefighter for refusing to comply. Since the fireman was white, the commentators said he “deserved it”. Had the fireman been black, you know what would happen.

What’s the betting line on out breaks of violence at these so-called vigils?

I held a vigil this morning, too.
But since I use a Keurig coffee machine, it wasn’t so long.
I was doing other things, too.
I was dual processing.
What was I talking about again?
Oh yeah. Coffee.
