Witness claims youths yelled 'this is for Trayvon' in beating
The Baltimore Sun ^ | 7:39 p.m. EDT, July 15, 2013 | Justin George

Baltimore police say they are investigating a witness account that a group of black youths beat a Hispanic man near Patterson Park Sunday while saying, "This is for Trayvon."

A witness posted the account on a community Facebook page, and police confirmed they are looking into whether the suspects' reaction to the verdict in the Florida trial of George Zimmerman played a part in the incident. A police report on the beating does not mention the alleged comments.

Sgt. Eric Kowalczyk, a police spokesman, declined to go into further detail.

Snip:

.....

real estate agent Christina Dudley said she was walking to her car just before 9 p.m. when she saw several young black males and two black females chasing a 37-year-old Hispanic man west on North Linwood Avenue past East Fairmont Avenue.

"One of the boys had a handgun out and it was pointed at the back of him," Dudley said in an interview.

They caught up to the man at the corner of Fairmount and N. Streeper Street, and the male with the gun beat the victim with what appeared to be his gun while others kicked and stomped him, Dudley said.

"They were just yelling and calling him names as they ran after him, but once they were hitting him and after that they started yelling, "This is for Trayvon, [expletive]," said Dudley, who heard the chant repeated multiple times.

.....

Dudley, who lives in the neighborhood, said she worries about her Hispanic neighbors and said she and other residents were looking for ways to warn them of the incident beyond Facebook. Patterson Park has one of the city's highest concentration of Latinos and is home to the city's annual Latino Fest.

On my way home every night, I pass a car dealership that has an enormous Amerian flag out front.

I actually cry when I look at it.

Yeah... I felt the same way on the 4th...

Oh, what this country used to be.

It does seem to be a little more on edge today than yesterday but maybe that’s just me. I work in downtown Baltimore.

Yep. Let’s pray it doesn’t get any worse and calms down quickly.

However if they started taking a beating and shot one of these vermin and said “this is for GZ” they would be put under the jail.

Our media continues to whip up black rage and riots against an Hispanic.

Zimmerman may want to release a message in Spanish to the NATION clarifying the dangers to other Hispanics who are being marginalized.

It is ironic that simply because his name doesn’t sound spanish that his cultural ethnicity is ignored.

Someone brought up that this might be a case of knee jerk, visceral, core level anti-Semitism.

The American tax-paying middle class is the enemy of the government. It’s over for this country.

The Zimmerman case makes this crystal clear.

Now, notice that the police officers did not document the Racist Trayvon comments.

I have to seriously consider whether I bring my kids and wife into Baltimore to see a few Orioles games this year.

Be safe down there. I’m slightly insulated up here in Mountain Maryland, but we do have the feral types due to several prisons up here. The DOJ subsidizes the families to visit their convict fathers and many decide to stay up here.

Don't hold your breath. As long as those two no good, rabble rousing race warriors, namely JJ and Al plus others are stirring the pot things will never calm down.

They better be careful. Hispanics don’t quite have the PC restrictions that white people do...they can and will react...attacking a Gomez will have a different effect than attacking a Zimmerman.

“Trayvon couldn’t possibly have sucker-punched and attacked Zimmerman, so let’s go out and prove it by sucker-punching and attacking a random Latino!”

Incredible.

The MSM leftist agenda and narrative dominates.

Anything that opposes it is ‘local news only.’

Fortunately there are sites like Drudge that’ll pick up these stories.

And one of the reason I left that rat-hole of a City/State in 2006 for FL.

Went back to see family and went by the old house (T.V. Hill area) and saw the place up for sale; what I paid $30k for was going for $300K! Seems, from friends accounts, the area is being ‘revitalized’ and now upscale/Yuppie territory. Sorry, but you didn’t burn it to the ground first.

They obviously attacked this guy purely because of his race, so this is a hate crime. Will our Justice Dept. get involved? Nah, the victim isn’t the right color.
