>described how painful it was to not be able to sit in the front row at Martin’s funeral
wtf? I can think of several more painful things about this incident than where one sits at a funeral. Her intelligent remark about the lack of profiling makes this comment even more bizarre.
Stepmother?? I knew his parents were divorced, but I didn’t know about any stepmother. Especially since this all took place at father’s girlfriend s house.
What a family. No wonder....
The thing I don’t understand is, and I got really sick of hearing Sean Hannity say Martin was walking close to house to get out of the rain...how do you know that, Sean?...if I see someone walking right next to my house, raining or not, black, white, yellow or red, the police are getting called and the gun is going in the hand until they get here.
If you are next to my house and I do not know who you are, there is going to be a serious problem. If you are not invited onto my property, then do not come.
It blows my mind the amount of people who just completely ignore the fact of self-defense. I just can’t wrap my mind around it...Smashed in nose, head smashed - - He should have just sat back and accepted it. I mean what kind of logic are they using here?
Get ready to rumblllllllllllllllllllllllllle.
Step mother raised him for Fourteen years. Where is she sitting in court?
As I understand it they were having a rash of robberies in the area. It is also my understanding that the suspects were black. IMHO if you were a Neighborhood Watch Captain it would be prudent to keep an extra eye out on young black people in your area.
Someone like this waits all this time to get on national tv, it has to be orchestrated. the bit about not being profiled comes across like a last minute change of plan after M’s creepy ass cracker remark came out during trial testimony and effectively made any claim of profiling by Z a wash. In particular it seems like a last minute play for the sympathies of the all female jury.
I don’ttThink Zimmerman ‘Picked Him Because He Was Black’
I don’t think George Zimmerman “PICKED” anyone, I think Trayvon thought he wouild teach the “little guy” a lession and chose poorly......his culture got him killed and that “star witness” was an example of his circle of friends......
I really feel badly for her. She was more of a mother to Trayvon than Sybrina was and yet she has been cast aside by them all.
And yet she still can’t see the forest through the trees — and wants Zimmerman found guilty.
So ALL they really want is for Zimmerman to be found “guilty”?? GM’s being found guilty is the ONLY thing that will “restore the balance” for what this trial is REALLY all about-—the exonoration of Trayvon Martin as someone who did all in his power to engineer his own death. THAT is what it’s really all about, and GM then becomes the fall guy, and the only obstacle for family and the “black community” to feel “good” about this whole tragedy, and make someone “pay”.
if she had raised him better he would be alive today I guess she accepts no blame, always the victim
she has only said this becasuse al sharpton and the new black panthers haven’t put hte squeeze on her yet-
COOPER: ..he talked about George Zimmerman, and the terms he used, um, the "cracker," that, the defense is trying to make it sound like Trayvon Martin is introducing race into this situation. Is that something you think is fair?
STANLEY: No, it's not fair... it's because, kids gonna be kids.
I find that statement astonishing.
Calling someone a racial term, is BY DEFINITION, introducing race into the situation.
Now it's quite likely that Martin didn't use that term to George Zimmerman's face. He used it to Rachel Jeantel.
But it is very revealing as to how Martin was thinking of George Zimmerman.
He wasn't a "guy" who was following Martin.
He was a "CRACKER."
I'm sorry, Ms. Stanley, but THAT IS RACIAL. THAT IS, BY ITS VERY DEFINITION, "INTRODUCING RACE INTO THE SITUATION."
And the astonishing thing is that the very same people who will glibly and totally excuse a Trayvon Martin ("Kids gonna be kids") would ABSOLUTELY CRUCIFY ANY WHITE PERSON WHO USED A RACIAL EPITHET.
I don't buy the double standard. It's total BS.
Yes, and so did the attention mongering mother Sybrina...she said George Zimmerman shot his attacker but not out of a pre-mediated state....I believe her words were something to the effect that “things got out of control” or something like that.
Reminded me of when the parents of “Balloon Boy” outed his parents’ hoax on national tv....except the race baiting lawyer quickly manufactured a press release, and the obedient media quickly obeyed the St. Skittles meme.
‘Z’ didn’t know he was black when he first saw him. did he?
Wasn’t it the person on the phone the one who asked a racism question— Is he black?
