Former U.N. Ambassador on MSNBC: ‘Trayvon is a Martyr’

Reid’s guest, former United Nations Ambassador under President Jimmy Carter, Andrew Young, interrupted her when she asked about what kind of problem Martin’s killing represents for the black community.

“No,” Young said. “Trayvon is a martyr.”
.
.
Young noted that George Zimmerman’s story is “just as much a tragedy,” because “his life is ruined over a love of guns and a false sense of what manhood is.”

flashback from earlier this year:

Former UN Ambassador, legislator and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young — one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s closest aides — tells Newsmax that it’s particularly appropriate for President Barack Obama’s second inauguration to fall on the day honoring the slain civil rights icon — Obama owes his “very existence” to the man whose life and death broke down centuries-old barriers for African-Americans.

Young also said in an exclusive Newsmax TV interview that if King were alive today, he would commend Obama for his controversial executive orders and additional efforts to tighten federal gun laws.

Trayvon was a punk who encountered consequences for the first and last time in his life.

Trayvon was a thug who liked getting his buzz on, he was no martyr.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Thugvon got what he deserved. That’s no “martyr” that’s just another statistic which Andy’s ilk usually ignores

[Venturer]

What do you expect Andrew Young to say he is a Obama vote
95% of them have one mind.

Martin is a dead POS if they want to call him a martyr, they only show their ignorance.

Man, these guys never let go . . . can’t they moveon.org or something?

[Slyfox]

Do martyrs tell the person they are attacking that they are going to die tonight?

And then, after being shot say, "You got me."

To the headline:

[sagar]

Better he is a dead and martyr than a living thug.

Isn't it nice that there is no such thing as a "race" war?

Is it still a race war if the casualties include leftists?

[Bronzy]

No!

I am sick of listening to race haters,

[Gay State Conservative]

A martyr? A martyr to the well documented aggressiveness and paranoia of “lean”? A martyr to stolen women’s jewelry? A martyr to the marijuana that the medical examiner found in his system? A martyr to the schoolmate who “didn’t bleed enough” when No Limits Nigga decided to beat him silly?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Trayvon is dead. So is Chris Lane. We may never know all the circumstances about Trayvon’s death, but we know Chris was murdered for a thrill.

To all the race baiters: FU. Including Andrew Young.

[Sir_Humphrey]

They got it wrong. George Zimmerman is a hero!

Tra-thug tried to smash his head into the ground because he didn't like the way GZ looked at him. GZ fought back, and killed the wannabe thug. We should be celebrating GZ's courage.

The Palestinians make heroes and martyrs out of their thugs, too. It tells you a lot about people when you see who their heroes and martyrs are.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

If they want to make Trayvon Martin and Al Sharpton the face of the democratic party then I say let them.

First link seems gone. Guess the murdered are now a Wiki page...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom

I know the Muslims have martyrs that blow themselves up for Baal or Allah but I didn’t know that the “thugocracy” had martyrs that went and got themselves shot for assault.
