The Most Outrageous Aspect of the Trayvon Martin Case (Ultra Barf Alert)
The Ostroy Report ^ | May 19, 2012 | Andy Ostroy

Posted on 05/21/2012 6:20:05 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

So now we know, through evidence released by prosecutors this past week, that George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old superhero-wannabe who shot and killed an unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, FL on February 26th, had wounds on his head and a broken nose. And as expected, ignorant racists nationwide rushed forward with disingenuous cries of "See!?...that proves the kid had attacked him!" But Zimmerman's wounds suggest one thing: that Trayvon fought like an animal to save his life.

Ever since this story hit the press I've been mortified about how Trayvon has been vilified as the aggressor when all evidence points to him being the one who desperately needed to exercise his state's Draconian 'Stand Your Ground' law. For the life of me I don't understand why the media has not explored this angle more than it has. The simple fact remains here: that a grown man with a gun, safe in his locked car, against the implicit instruction of a 911 police operator, left that car to pursue, confront and kill a child (yes, racists, under the age of eighteen one is legally considered a child) who was holding nothing more than a bag of Skittles and an iced tea.

What exactly does 'stand your ground' mean if not to fight like an animal to save your life when you believe it's being threatened with deadly force? Why does the fact that Zimmerman suffered wounds serve as evidence that Trayvon initiated the scuffle? To the contrary, Zimmerman's wounds reinforce that the kid bravely came at his attacker with everything he had. That after screaming for help seventeen times in a desolate area he fought furiously to save himself from being shot dead...something he unfortunately failed to do. Why is no one talking about how it was Trayvon who 'stood his ground?' Why does it seem that this law is only being discussed as it applies to Zimmerman?

As for Zimmerman's claim of self-defense? Bullsh*t. That defense went out the window the second he stepped from his locked car with a loaded semi-automatic weapon.

The Ostroy Report is a fresh, aggressive voice for Democrats and a watchdog of the GOP/Tea Party. We support President Obama and the Democratic agenda and seek to preserve the Senate majority while taking back the House. But we're also not afraid to criticize the left when necessary.

Andy! Andy! Andy!

10 Mins on the Internet today, I saw "Little Trayvon" in two separate fighting videos.

Your Boy liked to fight!

And Mr. Ostroy’s Facebook photo posed with PeeWee Herman pretty much tells me all I need to know about our author...

Still won’t cut it.

Victims are the ones who try to defend themselves,
not the attacker.

All evidence...

Except for the physical evidence...

And the injuries...

And the witness statements...

Etc...

...Trayvon fought like an animal to save his life.

I think straddling your attacker and slamming his head on the concrete goes somewhat beyond what a mentally healthy person would consider defense.

Yes,
Zimmerman was beating poor little Trayvon’s hands to death with
his head.

Can anyone join the Democratic party or do you have to
prove your a complete idiot first?

The Most Outrageous Aspect of the Trayvon Martin Case is that everyone keeps falsely reporting that Trayvon bought Iced Tea. He didn't!

He bought Arizona Watermelon “Fruit Juice Cocktail” NOT TEA!
No TEA in it! FRUIT JUICE!

Why should we believe anything the MSM says when they can't get a simple thing like this right. I mean the crime scene photos show plainly the can laying on top of Trayvon’s dead body covered by a yellow medical blanket. If you freeze frame the store video, you can plainly see that is what Trayvon bought, Watermelon “Fruit Juice Cocktail”.

If he bought fried chicken would they report that he bought steak? Political Correctness is DESTROYING this country!

Can we see your law diploma, Andy?

I noticed the PeeWee pic also....lol... impressive, Andy.

Is this this the same guy who was married to the murdered actress?

Right or wrong, people will believe what they want to believe. They’ll still defend the loser in the White House even when it’s obvious the man child has been trying to punch above his weight for decades and if anything has been a failure.

Now a black kid who was chatting up a young woman who was not his girlfriend and who wasn’t close enough to want to go to his funeral, decided to not go home but stay and play. The wannabe thug got trayvoned. The girl was joking around on twitter soon after

I guess these people don’t realize that lying repeatedly and frequently is not a proper was to go through life.

The typist of this silliness perfectly embodies the "soft-racism of lowered expectations" that afflicts the leftist mindset.

If some 6' white Iowa high school football player beat down a black father for some perceived offense ("he followed me!") they would be outraged.

But the racist left demands a level of civilized behavior from white people that they don't demand from black people. They feel that Zimmerman should have known better than to diss Trayvon, like people should know not to taunt bears. Your typical racist lefty feels enlightened, because he believes that he understands and is sympathetic to the plight of the poor black man who can't be expected to behave as well as he. It's paternalistic douchebaggery slathered in condescending delusions of superiority.

You can't go around beating people's heads against a curb because they are following you. You can't do it if you're black and you can't do it if you're white. If the beatee shoots you in the gut while you're doing it, it's his right to defend himself from your assault. Whether there was some implied diss involved or not.

Of course none of this true - just look at the evidence. It's been presented numerous times here on the FR and, unless something major comes up, it's not looking good for the prosecution. Besides, don't believe a word from this Democrat hack.

It's time to fight back.
