My friend Jonathan Capehart, an editorial board member and opinion writer for The Washington Post, laid bare the “grisly” facts we are just now coming to terms with in the killing of Trayvon Martin:
“An overzealous neighborhood watch captain in an SUV armed with a 9-mm handgun. A 17-year-old boy armed with an iced tea and a bag of Skittles. We know from [George] Zimmerman’s 911 call that he thought [Trayvon] Martin was “a real suspicious guy” who “looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something.”
And now we have some insight into Trayvon’s mindset at the time.
“He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man,” said Trayvon’s girlfriend, who was talking with him on his cell phone during the start of the incident. In an exclusive ABC News report, she discussed the confrontation in answer to questions from the Martin family attorney. “I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run but he said he was not going to run.” Eventually he would run, said the girl, thinking that he’d managed to escape. But suddenly the strange man was back, cornering Martin.”
“Trayvon said, ‘What, are you following me for,’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing here.’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again and he didn’t answer the phone.”
That’s because Trayvon was dead of a single gunshot wound to his chest.”

As the father of two sons, my heart sank at learning of the circumstances surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin.

“I guess we’re now supposed to see a war between hispanics and blacks?”
Not going to see that, unless the Hispanics “step up to the bar” and assert that Zimmerman was indeed “Hispanic” and not “white” (even “white” as in, “white Hispanic”).
If there is any “war” to be waged here, it is one of the “discrim-industry” against -whites-. It’s ALWAYS that way, at least publicly.
Aside: The media does a pretty good job of covering up black/Hispanic violence, which is increasing. But of course, they don’t want us to know much about it. “Racis’” is a term used [pretty much] exclusively against the whites, ain’t it?
That they are. For some reason, they really hate Jews. Kinda like Muslims, that...

“Was he on suspension from school? If so, why?”
“The media also characterizes Trayvon as a “model student.” In fact, he under a five day suspension when the shooting took place. That is why he was staying at a house so far from his school on a school night. A laywer for Trayvon’s family has blocked access to his school records. However, you have to do something pretty bad to get suspended for five days.”
Whites are attacked by blacks nine time more than the other way round. Further given the rate of crimes committed by blacks common sense is to be far more suspicious of them than other groups. To not do so is being deliberately negligent.
I think that about the same time as the black kid was killed, a white kid named Allen Goin was doused with gasoline and set on fire by a couple of black thugs in Kansas City. I am waiting for Obama to decry this attack and as soon as Sharpton is done whining, he should rush to Kansas City to comfort the Goin family.......or not
