ALBANY - State Senate Democrats put on hooded sweatshirts to protest the death of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teen allegedly gunned down by neighborhood crime watch captain in Florida.
At an Capitol news conference, Sen. Eric Adams, D-Brooklyn, denounced the killing of Martin, who, he said, carried nothing but "Skittles and god-damned ice tea."
The Senators discussed the case as groups around the country, including members of the NBA's Miami Heat, have put on the sweatshirts or "hoodies" to decry the 17-year-old's killing.
Martin, who was black, was shot on Feb. 26, allegedly by a neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, 32. Martin was wearing a hooded sweatshirt as he walked through a gated community on the way to the home of his father's girlfriend.
Zimmerman, who is white and Latino, has claimed he fired on the unarmed teen in self defense. The killing, and the lack of criminal charges, have caused outrage in Sanford, the Florida community where the death occurred, an protests around the country.

Asshats. They are going to be made to look REAL FOOLISH. Ho stupid.
Most, not all blacks, but certainly the blacks that have turned out for this hate-fest feel anything that happens to whitey at the hands of a ‘’brother’’ is justified.
After reading many of the above comments, it occurred to me that not one of you would say what you thought to their faces.
Will they also beat up any other legislators who know how to read?
I weep for my country. Let’s face it, we are wasting blood, sweat and tears on nonsense across the board.
I will never get tired of reading that.
I like it too.
What a knee slapper!
you pack of dumb stupid fools-you shame yourselves
I wonder if Ozero is black and white and Arab all over.
where’s jackson-lee? couldn’t fit that hoodie over her roadkill hairdo?
Phony fabricated anger in search of a blank check and unopposed power.

You know, I wish this whole kerfuffle were about some nekkid chicks, instead of a hoodied hoodlum. Then, we’d see all the liberal celebrities and congresscritters posturing publically in their birthday suits. But then, come to think of it, never mind!
Yes, Village Idiots.
I have a theory. The "a village somewhere is missing its idiots" theory.
All across America, cities, towns and villages have dealt with the "village idiot" crisis by electing them to public office and sending them off to State Capitols and Washington DC.
Charming, dignified - NOT.
Garden ornaments ala those trolls, or whatevah.
No problem, right to their face: “Senators, to me, YOU LOOK LIKE A GARDEN ORNAMENT.”
(Refer to post 113)
I know, my comment is mild, compared to others - - -
My observation was that, despite all our bluster, we are still transfixed by white guilt.
Trayvon wore Hollister.
Blacks commit more violent crimes against whites than against blacks

Oh, how nice, a troll has joined the party.
Is this for real????? I guess the “I Am Trayvon” Hoodies for Christmas will be a big hit this year.....I bet it outsells the deerrack hats during deer season........And it looks like Yo Mama is cashing in on her kids death....Why should she grieve for a child she raised to be a hoodlum and claim he’s an angel.....It’s all about more money for the welfare mother.......
Corrupt NY politicians reinforced the association of a hoodie with crime. duh
