Almost five years ago, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a "neighborhood watch" member as he walked home from a convenience store where he had purchased a juice drink and a package of Skittles. George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon, believed him to be "possibly dangerous" because of his race and the fact that he was wearing a hoodie.
Trayvon's murder – and Zimmerman's eventual acquittal – incited nation-wide outrage and was part of launching the powerful Black Lives Matter movement. To this day, Trayvon's name serves as a reminder of the progress that is necessary in order to improve the very real problem of police brutality and racism....

Black lies matter did not exist when travon happened -fake news lie #1
He wasn’t shot while walking home with skittles, he was shot while attempting to murder a neighborhood watch volinteer., fake news lie #2
STOPPED READING AT THAT POINT...
The Skittles ad on the Super Bowl reminded me of Trayvon.
Oh man, we should totally troll this and make it a CELEBRATION of “handgun self-defense day” or something. Too bad Zimmerman himself has been such an utter douchebag since his acquittal
Hahaha! “Teen Vogue” is running this?
I always wondered...did the break ins and theft at the comes end after Trayvon demise?
In today’s Parade magazine they profiled his parents book. The magazine said he was killed by neighborhood watch while waking through the neighborhood. Nothing about bashing the guys head into the sidewalk.
lol.
I bought him a ####ing gift. It’s a blanket in case it gets cold.
The idiot was an aggressive criminal. Why are these lunatics “honoring” the dead fool.
He had a screwdriver in his big backpack. The screwdriver is used to pry careens open. Backpack is for carrying the loot. Common M O.
When he was kicked out of school he had something like 12 pieces of ladies jewelry and an expensive men’s watch. He had pot in his locker.
He saved a family after a car accident.
Justice for Trayvon, dig him up and shoot him again!!!
Who gives a #### Let them honor while Trump and we take back the country.
Someone in the astronomy community wanted to name an asteroid after Trayvon Martin. Not sure whatever happened to that plan.
That’s sweet. Very sentimental.
LMFAO
Man that was cold even by my standards :)
Maybe it got shot down?
“Almost five years ago, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a “neighborhood watch” member as he walked home from a convenience store...”
Why, you filthy, lying scumbag. Vicious thug Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch member as he slammed that citizen’s head into the concrete with intent to kill or do grievous bodily harm.
