If you’re in your late teens and you get shot after assaulting a neighborhood-watch supervisor, and you want someone else to get blamed for your behavior, here are thirteen tips to make you look like an “innocent child” that loves Skittles, doing math and riding horses versus a gangbanger-in-waiting.
1. Don’t have pictures on social media, or on your cell phone, of you holding guns like a gangsta. If you do take pictures with firearms, make certain the weapon is held properly, away from the camera, with your finger off the trigger and it does not give off the I'm-a-criminal-in-training vibe. Just a thought.
2. Don't have multiple pictures of you inhaling weed floating around on either social media or in your cell phone where the police can retrieve them and use them against you. This, too, hampers the "innocent child" motif.

He was strong, aggressive, and capable of doing harm. And he was harming, and mercilessly beating Zimmerman that night.
Nothing these people can say will change that. His own facebook and tweets make it clear...as does his record...as does the evidence in the case.
My own feeling is this. I have followed the trial closely...each day. The Jury clearly looked at the evidence, which was overwhelming for the defense and Zimmerman.
Zimmerman's nose was broken and his face was bruised and bloodied after the confrontation. He had cuts and bruises on the back of his head. He had grass stains on the back of his shirt and pants. Treyvon had no injuries from the fight, except the gunshot wound. There were scrapes on his knuckles. And he had grass stains on his knees. All of this was supported by the forensic evidence and was not challenged.
It is clear who was delivering a beating, and who was receiving it. An eye witness indicated Treyvon was on top of Zimmerman and hitting him. Clearly, the one who was screaming histerically, and terrified for help, was the one being beaten, not the one on top doing the beating.
In almost all cases, the prosecution witnesses, under cross examination, gave testimony that ended up supporting Zimmerman's story.
It is tragic that things happened like they did. But neither person had broken any laws, or committed any crime, and could have walked away from this up until the time one of them decided to sucker punch the other in the face, break his nose and knock him down. Even then Treyvon could have walked away and had very little long term personal consequence. But when he began beating Zimmerman on the ground as he did, he took a path that led to his death. Zimmerman finally shot, and the forensic evidence showed that Treyvon was shot at close range, with the bullet traveling upward through his body (and his heart) while Zimmerman was on the ground.
There simply was not evidence of any hate crimes. There was simply no evidence of murder or negligence. The jury decided that Zimmerman was defending himself.
We know now that Zimmerman, an Hispanic male, mentored young black kids in his spare time. No racist there at all.
No, it is tragic that a 17 year old young man was killed. He was not a "little" kid. He was 6' 2" tall, 170 lbs, and was quite muscular and fit as a high school football player. Zimmerman was 5'9", also weighed around 170 lbs, but was not in good shape and over weight. And Treyvon was not angelic...far from it. His facebook page and tweets make that clear enough, as does his own record...all of which the jury could not hear...and in the end, did not need to.
Would Zimmerman have died that night? We will never know. But he clearly thought he was in great danger, and he was definitely being beat up. So he finally pulled his gun and shot in self defense.
I pray the country can move on from this. This case was trumped up by politicians, the Media, and those seeking a racial cause. The local police had already pretty much determined what this jury found and that is why Zimmerman was released after being taken to the police station that night. These types of things happen fairly often in this nation of 350 million.
For example, shortly before this event, a black man, who was being stalked by 4-5 white thugs, was at home one night when these thugs came to his house and began calling him names, and throwing rocks at his home from his drive way. He was safe in his home. It was secure and he was armed. He did not have to go out. But they were on his property and he decided to go out and confront them. There was an argument. One of the young men, about 19 years old, charged the man yelling that he was going to hurt him. The man shot...and the 19 year old died.
That man was not tried. He was not arrested for murder or manslaughter. Everyone knew these kids were on his property and up to no good. He could have stayed inside, but he decided to confront the evil on his property and when attacked, he defended himself. I have no problem with it...and believe more Americans should send such messages to criminals when they are threatened. 911 takes on average 9 minutes for anyone to get there. Usually by that time, it is over.
That above case happened in Florida by the way...and there was no outcry, no demands to punish that man for killing the much younger man. It was clearly self defense...as was this case with Zimmerman.
Trayvon’s twitter handle was NO_LIMIT_NIGGA
And the media has hiddent that fact. FACT.
Nuff said.....
It bemuses me that George Zimmerman’s detractors keep referring to Trayvon Martin as a “child.” He was 17—old enough to join the Armed Forces.
When I was seventeen, I graduated from high school and was accepted into college. In those days, no one referred to 17-year-olds as children.
If Mr. Skittles had simply kept his hands to himself, he would be alive today. THAT is the message blacks should telling their kids but they aren’t, as they never take responsibility.
Wish there were as many people pissed off about the lack of conviction for Nidal Hassan, domestic terrorist, murderer of innocent men, women, and children.
just don't...
What about that poor little BABY that got SHOT IN THE FACE by those TWO BLACKS GUYS??? WHERE”S THE OUTRAGE ABOUT THAT????? What has happened to that poor family???
Thanking for posting.
LIFE “101”
This fiasco of a trial is another instance demonstrating that a lot of people hate Whites because they are White, some of these people are Black and some are White.
The White, “White haters” are in control of the most of the News Media, to a large extent they operate in Northeastern Quarter of the United States.
Thugvon was exactly that. For the hucksters, including the pols, and pandering media to try to present him as some innocent “child” was total BS. He was an accident waiting to happen, and it did. And if it didn’t then, it would have later. Mr Tough Guy thought he’d take care of the “crazy ass cracker” He got real”justice” instead
There’s a reason why self-defense is in the law. This was a good example. There was never “probable cause” to accuse GZ, there was never “evidence” to show guilt, especially on the bogus murder-2 charge, then the conniving to throw in manslaughter as a last, desperate attempt to con jurors they condescendingly thought were gullible. There was far more than just “reasonable doubt” here.
More division, more phony “outrage” and all brought on by a media that sees everything as a one-way street and a phony ass “President” and his “unity” BS. Now we see all the feigned “outrage” from the same mindset that cheered the Simpson verdict. That same “protesters” that idolized a total loser like King Rodney. We see where that went, didn’t we? What a circus.
bttt
This was just another instance of the ‘4th estate’ attempting to shape reality to fit their agenda.
But this time they really got hoisted on their own petards. This travesty really put the ‘lame’ in lamestream media.
There will be no joy at swank cocktail parties on both coasts, for mighty Barry, once again, has strufiasco:
Another completely manufactured, expensive, painful, devisive Obama fiasco.
Exactly. Can’t help wondering if 17 year-old rapist would similarly be described as a “child”.
I’ll bet the orders to use this term came straight off the Journa-List.
strufiasco=struck out
(But you can’t say ‘fiasco’ enough.)
Kindle auto! Double darn you.
Holder and friends are not amused bet they won’t let it stand?.
Well stated,some one needs to give it to Holder
Excellent post and I agree completely
That is very well true
Think Sharlaton and the other Race Baiters will be around for this one??
