How about everyone blindfold themselves and we judge GZ/TM by the content of their character.

Why is it that Trayvon Martin is a “thug” because he was suspennded from school? Many currently productive and successful members of society also had issues in high school. Trayvon Martin was a A/B student with no history of violence. As to the notion that he should not have been going to the store while it was dark, that borders on the ridiculous. OTH, Zimmerman does have a history of violence against undercover cops and woman. Why doesn’t that bother you?

You forgot to factor in the smashing GZ's head on concrete part.

To: I see my hands

If Zimmerman’s head had been “smashed” into concrete, there would have been severe damage, most likely scull fracture and concussion. I saw two small cuts, no stitches, no hospitalization. The head, along with the nose, lips, ear lobes, bleed easily and you may see a extreme amount of blood caused by a small cut or abrasion. Untill I see medical records charting severe head trauma and a broken nose, I will continue to question Zimmermans’s story. I feel you see a hero and I fear this is a result of a wanna be cop.

I think you had better look again. Trayvon did have a history of violence. He attacked a school bus driver

I will say up front I have not delved into the whole Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman matter. I have read some threads here about it, and heard different snippets about it on local and natl television.

I have read a lot of threads where folks have equated Mr. Zimmerman to being a hero and feeling this is pivotal to gun carry and stand your ground.

I did hear the 911 tape where Mr. Zimmerman was told to NOT pursue Mr. Martin. Yet he continued to pursue him. Now, if that's one of the 911 tapes that was edited, then forgive me for commenting in an area where I haven't done enough due diligence. But from the point where I heard that, I have been bothered by those treating Mr. Zimmerman as a hero. The situation was escalated when he chose to pursue Mr. Martin.

I don't know that anyone here has taken a moment and put themselves into Mr. Martin's shoes. Isn't it possible that he thought his life was in danger? Isn't it possible he was “standing his ground” and trying to protect his life? The same thing that Mr. Zimmerman has been applauded for?

I'm not saying that's what happened. I wasn't there. But I do wonder about it.

Excellent article, Mark.

If I had to shoot someone in self defense, I would be upset about it for the loss of human life.

When young people flirt with darkness held out by liberals as cool - like the black thug criminal and racist culture - it’s not long before you are acting it out, playing the part and attacking others. If you choose that path, you will end up dead or in prison. Better Trayvon be stopped than read the obit of Zimmerman - another decent normal person no one cares about taken out by another black thug. All colors of people serve as victim to this thug mentality.

To liberals the good guys are bad guys and the bad guys are good guys. They dominate and direct the culture, leading many young people the way of Trayvon and destructive acts held up for white young people, too.

It will never change with them, but Americans need to understand the choice and not follow blindly along like sheep to the slaughter. You did the best. You listened to your parents and did not fall prey.

"I feel you see a hero.."

I see Zimmerman, a lib who is getting his just deserts. I see Martin, a savage who got what was coming to him. Now I see BLOC77. I don't hold any of you in high esteem.

... Mr. Zimmerman was told to NOT pursue Mr. Martin. Yet he continued to pursue him...

Don't take Sharpton's story for the truth. Zimmerman told the operator 'Okay' and says he started back because he lost track of Martin.

This could be the truth.

Martin was obviously a thug wannabe who was both larger than Zimmerman and who obviously, according to witnesses, was assaulting Zimmerman. It is very clear who the agressor was.

Who knows what is true about Trayvon and not true. The media (the DNC) and his parents have held him out to the public with angelic pictures of him as at a younger age to manipulate the public.

I read that he attacked a bus driver and was caught in school with jewerly. Did you read that? Or did you only read about skittles boy?

I think this is probably true. Trayvon was a good kid and a bad kid - like all kids. He decided to attack and beat a man who had a gun for self defense. The man had the right to stop Trayvon in his thug adventure. Trayvon is dead before he got a chance to grow out of his thug cool phase which often happens to young people who dabble in thug for a season. It's sad and horrible. People who dabble in a season of darkness often receive deadly and suffering consequences. It is a very serious decision young people make.

But the elitists hold up the black thug culture as if it is the meaning of being a righteous black teen. If you cared you would tell them to stop it rather than play dummy for the thug culture. It's not hip. It's deadly.

Statement: "I am not Trayvon MArtin"

Response:True.

Comment: However,you can learn "To Trayvon" a new verb recently added to the English language. It means "Planting a .30 caliber,or greater, bullet in the center of mass of a Hoodie wearing assailant." Examples: I trayvon. I am trayvoning.I do trayvon. etc. etc.

He’s not a thug because he was supended from school, he’s a thug because he was a violent criminal, and now he’s a dead violent criminal.

Good riddance.

Did you hear it?

In the tape I heard, the dispatcher, who is not a law officer, said we don’t need you to do that, to which Zimmerman responded OK, then can be heard to stop running.

He obeyed the suggestion.

What tape did you listen to?

Why is it that Trayvon Martin is a “thug” because he was suspennded from school?

He is not just a thug because he was suspended from school, but the reasons he was suspended have a lot to do with it. Plus his twitter page in which he gave himself the screen name of "No limit N***a"" and made various comments about being associated with gang bangers had a lot to do with it. Add to that the fact his associates claim he decked a bus driver(no proof of that yet, but his friends think he did)and was suspended Multiple times, not just once, speaks to the fact he was not a model student but was indeed either a full blown thug or a thug wanna be.

Want more? Stolen jewels on his person, burglary tools on his person and MJ on his person at school.

Still not convinced? Well then I guess you are just hopelessly imbued with the PC sickness.

You and the other Trayvons need some education on how to behave in a civilized society. I don’t live in a gated community, but a community where we all know each other and keep watch on our property.Trayvon would have had multiple gunshot wounds from people of different ethnicities in my neighborhood
