Trayvon Martin remembered with New York march

NEW YORK - The parents of a black teenager shot to death by a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain in Florida told hundreds of people at a march in his memory on Wednesday that they won’t stop until they get justice for him.

“My son did not deserve to die,” the teenager’s father, Tracy Martin, said after thanking the crowd.

Martin’s son, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, was killed Feb. 26, in Sanford, Fla. He was returning to a gated community in the city after buying candy at a convenience store. He was unarmed and was wearing a hooded sweat shirt, called a hoodie.

The neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, has not been charged in the shooting. Zimmerman has said the teen attacked him and he shot him in self-defense.

The Obama DOJ has had this case for 3 days now.

To date all Obama has done is analyze the vote counts in this tragedy.

Not so much as a statement or call to Trayvon’s parents from Obama or The Obama DOJ head, Eric Holder.

They have had the case for 3 days now!

Sandra Fluke, a white chick the likes sex, oh yeah they called her. The line of Black civil rights workers was a mile long to contact a promiscuous white chick.

They should be marching in front of Eric Holders house.

Democrats were deeply saddened..."WHITE" sounded SO much better.

BUT NOT TO WORRY! Ed Shultz has it covered...on tonight's show he no longer referred to Zimmerman's ethnicity at ALL! Shultz instead repeatedly referred to his "white neighborhood" and "white neighbors said...", etc.

YEAH! Great work, Ed! The race-baiting train is back on the track! Woo hoo!

Yeah Zimmerman sounding so promising when they started this Fast and Furious part two.

Now Holders in some room , rocking back and forth muttering:

“Zimmerman,Zimmerman, why did we pick him based on just his name? In Florida how could that not be some Jew!”

Imagine how upset the Obama ad his DOJ must be that a guy in Florida named Zimmerman, is not a Jew.

I happened to catch some of Ed’s radio show about the time they discovered the alleged shooter was HISPANIC but had they had already gone a long way down the “white guy murders black kid” story line.

You could almost hear them slapping themselves silly over “HOW could a guy named Zimmerman NOT be white or Jewish”!

One just has to imagine “special ed’s” pillow talk with his current wife (not sure if she also has had to file a restraining order against him yet)..

Wife number 2: How was work today my big big boy.

Ed: Oh, it was going swell until we had to change the storyline midstream when some darn guy that shot a black kid in Florida turned out to be Hispanic. I was on a roll honey bunny then the word came that the wasn’t white or Jewish. Honestly honey bunny who would have thought a guy named Zimmerman was Hispanic! We had this thing; it was GOLD I tell you! Then the bottom fell out but that darn Sharpton had already hit the TV shows with it and now look where we are. Its all that stupid reverend sharptons fault. He was the one who called me and said we got something and it is Golden... that damn guy... you know...he really isn’t a reverend.

Whats amazing is how Zimmerman not only stopped being white, but how he managed to bloody his own nose and head and have his screams for help recorded.

Zimmerman is exactly why we have the ‘Stand Your Ground Law’ in Florida.

Had the law abiding young man he was pursuing been armed, he would have been justified in shooting the wannabe cop following him around for no reason.

I think the Hispanic block watch guy who shot and killed the black kid needs to be prosecuted to the fullest. When you listen to the 911 calls there is no question that he shot the kid when he didn't need to.

But how many of us heard about this below case non-stop. I venture none of us until it was brought to my attention by Laura Ingraham today. In this below article they don't mention that the two culprits are black kids.

Quote from below link: "(One of them) poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, 'This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy."

There is no way getting around the racial tensions in this country. Which lead to incidents such as this.

And it’s revealing how the sides are taken on this very forum.

Zimmerman boy is clearly the murderer, but look at his supporters here. They’re certainly not Zionists, and one claims to be a “Patriot”!

“remembered” by who?

Was there anyone in NY who knew him?

Not only is he Hispanic, he is somewhat black. Zimmerman is not necessarily a Jewish surname, either.

In fact, the Kansas City story has been posted on FR many times. Several posters have pointed out that there is no evidence that the black attackers exist and that the boy perhaps burned himself and invented the attack story.

It's backlash. It's been going on for awhile. Look at every stupid 'Amish' comment out there. Backlash. Years of PC from the media. Add in Obama being the affirmative action president with Holder and the "his people" comment along with PC double standards. Ignoring any black on white attack based on race. No hate crime charges on things that go the other way. That doesn't even get to local affairs that influence thinking. It's getting uglier. People have had enough, and as soon as the race pimps started getting involved in this individual case, it's more about defeating them than the actual actions taken.

As much as I effing despise the race pimps, I can't defend Zimmerman. Based on what I know, Zimmerman probably should get dinged for manslaughter.

Yes, the backlash blinds people to reality as much as the MSM. I question my own real life perceptions after having seen the lies, the wishful thinking in the MSM as well as in the backlash reactions here. Whatcha gonna do?!

Zimmerman boy is clearly the murderer...

Nothing is clear when getting it from the press. Proceed with investigation and no political railroads.

“When you listen to the 911 calls there is no question that he shot the kid when he didn’t need to.”

When you listen to the EYE WITNESS testimony, there is no question he had every right to shoot the guy attacking him in self defense.
