Did Trayvon hold anti-white views? My guess is that he was a virulent racist with a pathological hatred of whites.

And she did soooo much for him while he was alive, turning him over to her former husband’s second wife and then, after that marriage did not last, to her ex-husband’s girl friend. What an example she set—not! And now so broken up about the loss of the son she hardly knew—imagine! A real teachable moment!!

On the other hand, he noted, “We have plenty of data to be worried when we see other folk moving through our neighborhood wearing hoods.”

Gotta keep voting Democrat 'cause there's a Klansman behind every tree.

Is it me, or does it seem like there are many black folks (mostly males) that are afraid they might get shot when they victimize whites?

Common sense?

Total violent crime has dropped by 25% since Florida enacted the “stand your ground” law, even though the state’s population increased by over 1Million since the law was passed.

It would be “common sense” for every state to enact Stand Your Ground laws.

We must move from stand your ground to common ground to common sense

I will not run away from you. You can not force your will on me. That is standing my ground.

You do not threaten to harm me and I will not harm you. That is common ground.

As long as you feel entitled to attack me I am entitled to defend myself. That is common sense.

I think that my answers would anger them. Perhaps they should ask themselves why that is.

Somehow I don't think this all turned out the way obama wanted it to. Now what?

Index is up to date.

Here's the link to the Trayvon Martin Fund if anyone is curious. It appears another foundation, "The Miami Foundation", administers the funds going to the "Trayvon Martin Foundation". Wonder if that is typical.

But, wait....what is this foundation? Justice for Trayvon Martin Foundation The Miami Foundation is also involved with this foundation. Maybe it was an earlier version of the Trayvon Martin Foundation.

“Stand your ground” never came into play here...total red herring argument. It is apparent he was having the tar beat out of him by a bigger, younger, stronger person - having his nose broken and having his skull bashed into the concrete - what does reacting to that have to do with “stand your ground”?

The routine is, as always, follow the money. No honor among thieves and a lot of characters are looking to milk the situation for steady paychecks. Just like the Sandy Hook incident, it was no time before leftist-oriented "funds" were set up to take in money. Last I heard there's already been in-fighting over it.

Common ground with these lying psychos is something I’ll avoid.

I pledge not to stand my ground even if my head is being slammed against a cement walkway. Yes right.

Are these people nuts!? They are actually advocating that if someone is about to kill you or do serious harm that you just have to take it.

Mob rule is coming.

'We must move from stand your ground to common ground'

And the protesters should move from a public street to a parking slot of a Seven-Eleven.

Until feral youth are kept in check, I’ll just stand my ground. I trust, but verify all the time with everyone I don’t know.

"I promise I’m going to work hard for your children as well.”

Ok, what are you going to do now? The rally is over.
