Who’s this “ they” she is referring to? Joe Zimmerman killed her son. No one else.
A bit off topic, but “Martin” and “Zimmerman” are two names that are very prominent in the Mennonite branch of my family tree.
No relation, but it gives me a little jolt every time I see an article with their names in the title.
I'm genuinely sorry about your son.
But what, exactly, did you expect to happen when you allowed this sorry crowd of malcontents to use him as a stage prop?
I suppose reporting the eyewitness account of the innocent Trayvon beating the holy hell out of George Zimmerman and noting he was on suspension and posting photographs of him and his associates is considered “disrespecting”?
Frankly, I would have never known about Trayvon if the professional race card baiters had not interjected themselves into this situation.
“They’ve killed my son, and now they’re trying to kill his reputation,”
The NOI and their race pimps and media used his son for racial hate fodder.
He should have told them to sit down and shut up. But he wanted to play with the matches of racists and is shocked that he got burned.
He is not a victim. At this point, he’s one of a long line of racist perps.
Interesting two things as of yet unconfirmed.
1) Trayvon Martin had a 10-day suspension, not for an empty marijuana baggie, but for assaulting a school bus driver. This is based on a Twitter message sent to him by his brother.
2) A Witness said Zimmerman had disengaged from Martin, and was standing next to his vehicle, when Martin came back, approaching Zimmerman from behind, and yelled at him (possibly):
“Were you following me?”
to which Zimmerman answered “yes.”
Then Martin, without further adieu, punched Zimmerman in the face, knocking him to the ground, climbed onto him, grabbing his head or hair in some way, and smashing the back of Zimmerman’s head against the concrete or asphalt, while yelling:
“Tonight you are going to die!”, or similar, while Zimmerman screamed for help.
At some point, Zimmerman’s shirt came up, exposing his gun, and Martin and Zimmerman then both tried to grab it. Zimmerman got it and fired once at very close range into the abdomen of Martin, still atop him. Martin fell off or was pushed, and Zimmerman stood up.
Once again the old and beaten “race card” is being played again.
Dear Tracy,
I am so sorry that you had to bury your son. It is so wrong for a child to preceed his parents in death.
I understand why you are angry, it is one of the stages of grief.
However, there is no “they” when it comes to your son’s death. One man shot him, in circumstances neither you nor I fully understand.
I understand you want your son to be remembered in a certain way. We all want to be remembered in the best possible light. But if you allow and participate in the scripting of a narrative, based on supposition alone, then you have to expect that there will be those who question and investigate your presentaion of “facts.”
If you want to protect your son’s reputation, demand the Black Panthers resind the bouty they placed on a fellow citizen, demand that those selling tee-shirts with racial slurs in alleged support of your son, cease and desist. Do not allow your son to co-opted into a political game of violence and hate.
If you stand to protect your son’s reputation in this manner, you will have my full, vocal support.
Well, that’s an easy one to fix for the folks of TM.
Just authorize the release of his school records to show what a good kid he was.
Wrong number, dude...that would be Planned Parenthood...they're in the Yellow Pages.
Yeah, God forbid that the truth come out!! It may alter Trayvon's "squeaky clean" reputation and make him look like the thug that he was!
Hey mf, did you see the FB pics with the tats and gang signs?
Hopefully mom and dad get the copyright on their son’s name before the HBO movie comes out.
Wonder how much money Trayvon was making selling drugs to get all those gold teeth?
Well Sybrina, if you would have properly raised your little punk-aSSed thug, things may have turned out different. Presently, all the taxpayers may have to pay for is the burial of another scumbag who most likely would have caused a lot of people anguish and agony instead of supporting his vicious a$$ while in prison.
I'm actually hoping this will be the straw that breaks the obama administration.
And his ass isn’t cold in the ground you dumb bitch and you’re making money off his corpse!! SHAME ON YOU!!
Maybe they should’ve pondered taking down his twitter and FB accounts before going public since people have already went and copied all of that stuff seeing your son’s own words and actions perhaps then his reputation would’ve have been public knowledge?
