Full headline: Update: Trayvon Martin's mom retracts 'accident' characterization, says Zimmerman killed him in 'cold blood'

Updated at 1:15 p.m. ET: Trayvon Martin's mother retracted her comments that she believes her son's fatal shooting by George Zimmerman was an accident, telling MSNBC-TV on Thursday afternoon that she actually believes "George Zimmerman stalked my son and murdered him in cold blood."

In an interview Thursday morning on NBC's TODAY show, Sybrina Fulton had said: "I believe it was an accident. I believe that it just got out of control and he couldn't turn the clock back."

After Fulton's remarks drew widespread media attention, Ryan Julison, a spokesman for the Martin family, emailed a statement to MSNBC TV saying her comments had been "mischaracterized."

SNIP

Here's the full statement:

Earlier today, I made a comment to the media that was later mischaracterized. When I referenced the word 'accident' today with regard to Trayvon's death, in NO way did I mean the shooting was an accident.

We believe that George Zimmerman stalked my son and murdered him in cold blood. The 'accident' I was referring to was the fact that George Zimmerman and my son ever crossed paths. It was an accidental encounter. If George Zimmerman hadn't gotten out of his vehicle, this entire incident would have been avoided.

My son was profiled, followed and murdered by George Zimmerman, and there was nothing accidental about that.

Especially when reports come out to the contrary, they still cling to their fictional version.

She thought her dead son would be ticket to the East Side.

Only problem is, she had to invite a bunch of other folks to the trough cause she doesn't have the first idea how to make it happen on her own.

Now those little piggies have a vested interest in keeping the circus going while the pockets get picked. They told her what was what, and now she's trying to change her tune.

She'll probably get away with it too. You can "walk it back" if you've got the MSM cheering for you.

Someone has leaned heavily on Tray-von’s mama. No doubt one of the race pimps like Sharpton or Jackson or one or more of the Blackkk Panthers.

We know what Tray-von thought of women. He says, on his video, that ‘Bitches ain’t shi-!’

She needs to practice gesticulating, collapsing to the ground and convulsive sobbing.

This woman is truly despicable. She calls it an “accident” one minute, then claims her thug son was “stalked” and “murdered in cold blood”.

She has fanned racial hatred by claiming “THEY (not “He”) killed my son!”

She has filed for trademarks on the phrases “Justice for Trayvon” and “I am Trayvon Martin” so she can profit off the death of her son.

His father told the police that the cries for help on the 911 tapes were NOT his son’s, then told the media and the racist, lynch mobs that it was his son, “crying for his life”.

Seeing the behavior of his mother and father, I am beginning to have more sympathy for Trayvon. He is, of course, responsible for his own choices and actions, but with “parents” like those, he had little chance of growing into a responsible, decent man. He would have had a better shot if he was raised by wolves or alligators.

“If George Zimmerman hadn’t gotten out of his vehicle, this entire incident would have been avoided.”

What about if Trayvon was not a thug like character who didn’t like anyone even looking him, and did not attack Zimmerman the whole thing would have been avoided..

So what he may have followed him, and who cares why..it used to be a free country to walk around as you please..
No instead its the same old tired BS everything that happens is whiteys fault mentality which have kept blacks in slavery to their black keepers for hundreds of years..stand up, take responsibility..

Major oooops. But too late, can't put the genie back in the bottle.

This is a true gaffe, as per the now-famous definition:
"Gaffe = The truth told, unintentionally."

mr no limits mom is showing her opportunistic motives again.

Gee mom do you have a publicist and an agent now? Better get someone who can tell you when to keep your pie hole shut. You are looking a bit insensitive. And stupid.

It would sure be interesting to see how many black “kids” have been murdered by other black “kids” since o’l Trayvons passing. Where is the outrage? I'm ready for the race war to just go ahead and start so we can get it over with and get on with our lives. Enough already, geez. I've got all the ammo I need now, get yours too because these thugs across the country are attacking whites at an alarming rate and the masses don't even know about it. Coming this summer to a city near you. Lock and load folks.

Better yet mom get the race hustlers to invest in a teleprompter so you don’t blow it again...that works real well for your race baiting Kenyan impostor.

Wow....I can't say how I would act if it were one of my kids in Trayvon’s place except that I wouldn't oscillate between venomous blame and divine forgiveness. Someone must have pointed out that her admission it was an accident would definitely effect her bottom line.
