Was it an Obama 2012 Hoodie?
Obama flamed the fire at the beginning then ran and hid under Moochelle’s skirt.
“Members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor”
Did Robert Byrd comply with this?
It is a shame that Bobby Rush is politicizing the tragedy of the young man’s death like this.
He shames his office.
Are they also calling for Spike Lee's arrest, who published what he thought was Zimmerman's address on the Internet, only to find that it was the address of an elderly couple who are now forced from their home thanks to death threats, hate mail, etc?
all to stir up the base.
Election is coming.
Remember in November.
While it’s terrible that this kid got killed, how can we extrapolite from this one incident that black youth are at great danger from racists with guns???
Thousands of black kids and young men are killed every year by other black men with guns. Much of it is gang violence.
If the issue that “our children” (black children) are being killed, shouldn’t these guys turn their attention to the pandemic of gang violence in the black community????
While tragic that this one kid was killed, this incident is so rare, that you wonder about the reasoning which says that the greatest risk to black youth is a racist with a gun.
Stop racial profiling? So then is black on black crime is not a cause for concern, because that’s not a matter of racist whites attacking blacks? What are we saying???
But it's OK to be racist against Whitey.
Yo Bobby, the guy that killed Trayvon was registered to vote for YOUR party.
Suck on that!
The fact that someone wears a pillowcase does not make him a Klansman.
He's right. Breaking someone's nose and bashing their head against the sidewalk does, however.
Interesting. And the SCOTUS is about to flush the Constitution.
One of Congress' more intelligent representatives. Also a prominent race pimp.
Can you believe what moronic dreck the idiot voters send to DC? Ludicrous!
I am glad the legislator is showing solidarity with the hoodlum who was bashing in the head of the naighborhood wach captain, rather then the law abiding citizen
“Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum.”
It does when it is breaking the rules.
Hate to burst the liberals’ and racist’s bubble, but they are being played by a disingenuous media that has created a non-controversy.
At the risk of being flamed or banned, based on the facts I have been able to discover about this story, Zimmerman acted in self-defense and Trayvon was the aggressor who ended up getting what he deserved. Sorry to speak ill of the dead and I’m sorry that Trayvon got killed but, the evidence all supports Zimmerman’s side of the story.
IMO, it is inappropriate for elected representatives in the Congress to get sucked into these media-generated messes.
What’s his point? Does he want to make it a “thought crime” to be suspecious of kids who dress like thugs? Is he a lobbyist for hoodie makers? Or maybe he is just an idiot?
Wouldn’t do for me to be a congressman. I’d be censured daily and probably jailed for knocking the crap out of little snots like Weiner and Kennedy. I’m sure there are some who took their place.
I’d also get in trouble for wearing a “Zimmerman - NOT GUILTY!” t-shirt.
We definitely need some white “leaders” standing up to these racists attacks.
