Trayvon Martin vigils sweep the country two years after his death
Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, February 26, 2014 | Jessica Chasmar

Vigils are being planned across the country to mark the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin — a case that has stoked racial tensions and questioned Florida’s “stand your ground” laws for the past two years.

Rallies are being held in major cities across the country, and many participants are being asked to wear hoodies in solidarity with the slain teen.

I would recommend any Whites to stay away from these vigils.

OK, for all you “white” Hispanics, you can celebrate the day by firing off your Kel-Tec 9’s.

Let us hope that participants are not asked also to slam someone’s head into concrete.

I have seen the video of the shooting. The fireman was on top of a uniformed police officer pummeling him, similar to how Trayvon Martin was on top of George Zimmerman. That will get you shot every time.

Much remains unknown about that incident, but from what I saw, if I had been the cop I would have shot to defend my life also.

Guess on Wednesday night I’ll go out and shoot one of several guns out back to celebrate our right to defend ourselves from thugs like “trevon” then I’ll face east towards mecca and take a leak.

I also saw the video. Zimmerman got charged with murder, and the CNN commentators said the fireman “deserved it”. See any difference?

Of course I see it. The double standard is on display every day in America.

“Sweep the country” might be just a touch hyperbolic. They’re being planned in a few places. Planned.

Reminds me of the old Hollywood hype "a cast of thousands". Turned out they meant Herman Thousands, Sarah Thousands, and Irving Thousands.

This would have been a perfect opportunity to expose Obama’s abuse of the “bully pulpit” to foment racial strife and the media’s complicity in it that has resulted the many killings of innocent white, hispanics and asians by blacks citing the fabricated racial episode.

The Times is instead by this story’s lead paragraphs construct has in effect defended this regime’s activities. Including repeating the “stand your ground” assertion.

A vigil for poor Trayvon? Fine. Then we’ll make all the people attending those vigils look at photos of the tens of thousands of whites and non-blacks who have been murdered by black killers in the last fifty years. Hypocrites. I’m totally fed up.

they should just go ahead and replace every “Martin Luther King Blvd” with “Trayvon Martin Alley” already. after all, they no longer stand for what MLK stood for.

There were no victims of the knock out game. That was a story fabricated by the “right-wing” media. So say the liberal dumbasses I know.
