It isn’t clear yet?????
It appears that Martin decided that being followed by a gay man was legitimate provocation for a brutal assault.
More like a young man versus a child. So, why do they disrespect him; it is very telling/and a disconnect to reality to do so. He certainly was not guided by his parents nor school instructors, or his friends well enough because he had a pattern of issues at school. He was being moved back and forth from parent to parent which didn’t help stability for him.
I am sorry he lost his life but you don’t go around attacking people because people react differently. I understand that he had been removed from school and had a incident with his bus driver. While in Sanford, he was already angry upset.
True.
Trayvon Martin attacked a man he thought was gay. This sounds like a Hate Crime to me. He also stereotyped gays as rapists.
I know people want to portray him as a megaHitler, but to be, his facebook page suggests and everything suggest he was a wannabe and a wimp.
The leftist claim. and Ahlert’s, is that it was Zimmerman’s duty to take whatever Martin chose to dish out to him, even unto death, because Martin was black and Zimmerman is not. The drive here is to establish as principle of law that no white man is legally justified in defending himself against a black man, regardless of circumstances.
The cold hard truth is, do people really want to be just like Sharpton or Jackson on the other side?
I have been waiting for the multi-millionaire record label owners and music producers who have profiting from pushing the gangsta lifestyle on youths like Martin to stand up and take responsibility for his death and the deaths of so many in the black community.
Waiting...
Still waiting...
Good question. Trayvon's Twitter handle was "No Limit Nigga", and he tweeted about manufacturing his own drugs. Factor in the fighting, stealing, guns, and other clues and that's a thug wannabe if one ever was one.
The correct answer is violent criminal.
The problem has been the focus on irrelevant arguments some of which are actually unsupported by the evidence.
1. GZ racially profiled TM There is no evidence of this.
2. GZ disobeyed an order by the police * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.
3. GZ got out of his car Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.
4. GZ followed TM Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the RS only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.
5. GZ wasnt really injured * Under Floridas self-defense laws, one doesnt have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.
6. TM is dead through no fault of his own * If you believe that TM assaulted GZ, then he IS dead as a result of his own actions.
7. GZ could have left * Under Florida law, there is not a duty to withdraw rather than use deadly force * TM was straddling GZ so how the latter was supposed to leave the scene is unanswered.
8. GZ was armed and TM wasnt * Ones fists can be considered weapons and can result in severe bodily harm or death.
* GZ was legally carrying a weapon * There is no requirement under the law that the same weapon be used by the assailant * A homeowner can kill an intruder whether or not he has been threatened * Those that attack cannot feign surprise if they are met with superior firepower.
9. Stand Your Ground! * SYG is NOT at issue in this trial. * The defense is a classic self-defense case.
10. Black men NEVER get to use SYG! * Wrong http://tinyurl.com/nboht35
11. GZ is a man and TM was a boy! * As if boys dont commit murder, rape, and assault everyday in this country.
I think it was Showandtell who made that identification.
Zimmerman also had grass stains on his back and the back of his legs.
Martin, OTOH, had grass stains on his knees, and had only two injuries. Scraped knuckles, and the single bullet wound that killed him.
It is clear what happened. And so it is time that we removed this lie:
And replaced it with the truth:
But with the race baiting, hate America, get "whitey," crowd, the truth of what happened does not matter. Advancing their goal of "fundamentally changing" America is all that matters.
One thing...for once, Obama actually got it right. Now that we know so much more about Trayvon, it is true...if Obama had a boy, hhe would have been just like Trayvon.
Good looking kid, appears he turned bad last couple years.
Sad
That may not have even been "public" property in a gated community.
He dead
One of the first thoughts that occurred to me, when this first erupted onto the national scene, was this; Trayvon Martin played varsity football, right? When the meme of 'fine young man senselessly gunned down started, I withheld from forming any opinion one way, or the other, and just waited to see if a certain 'dog' 'barked' or not. That 'dog' was any college chiming in that they had been scouting this young man for inclusion into their football program, and were saddened by the loss of his potential to their program.
The 'dog' did *not* 'bark', as no college came forward to assert this, although I waited several weeks to see if one would. Not a single college stated that they were scouting Trayvon Martin at all, let alone seriously.
This told me volumes, as if he were the athletic paragon that was being claimed, there could only be one possible explanation as to why colleges would have little to no interest in him. That explanation would be that he had discipline problems of a rather serious nature.So it turned out to be...
the infowarrior
There is mention of past marijuna use. Usually people on MJ are nonviolent. Was a drug test performed on Martin’s body and what were the results??
Forget this "caricature" nonsense and focus on what Trayvon Martin DID.
Do you see any evidence that he might have been a vicious street thug?
