My basic question is: What was Trayvon doing in the gated community where he was shot?
Was he cutting through the neighborhood on his way home? He was obviously on foot ... where's the proximity to his house?
Was he on his way to visit friends? Surely, you would have thought one of his friends would have come forward to say he had just spoke to him on his cell phone and he would be over shortly.
Was he on his way to purchase 'weed' or hook up with somebody? (as 90% of his tweets either extoll the virtues of weed or refer to his desire to ####)
Where was he coming from?
But, but, I thought past behavioral history wasn't supposed to be an indicator of current behavior?
Zimmerman saw who started it, didn’t he?
Are you 100% certain that no one else saw who started it?
Does Martin’s carcass have any other visible trauma on it aside from the bullet wound?
Martin has a history of being a thug ... just sayin’.
Why are you trying so hard to defend Trayvon? Your not going to convince anyone, the facts from sanford pd indicates that Zimmerman defended himself.
Doesn't mean he may or may not be wandering aimlessly, bored. No harm in that, per se.
Peruvian.
Zimmerman is Catholic as well. He was an alter boy.
You know what’s laughable...the Obama admin is saying the Republicans are politicizing Trayvons death. the admin is looks incredibly irresponsible and foolish by getting involved and race baiting and now they want to point the finger. Wow!
Wasn’t so much questioned whether it was Trayvon or not but rather was that the Memorial Program with his photo, scull/crossbones, etc or was it a photoshopped program?
Kids are usually in school at 7pm on a Sunday night?
the 3-day story is incorrect, you need to get better information. This rumor has it origins in the fact that the police booked Martin’s body as a John Doe and apparently made zero effort to identify him. So the father had to file a missing person’s report the next morning to find out his son was dead. Like the rumor going around here the other day that Martin was shot at 3am (which is when the police report was FILED) this is the kind of bad info that is easily checked before repeating. Its important to do so because when you blindly repeat untrue rumors it looks like you have an agenda. Let the Libs distort the facts, we need nothing but the truth to win our arguments
Were you there? Or are you psychic? Or maybe just the sort of racist that the media uses to tar all conservatives with your brush?
I’ve done criminal law, in Chicago no less, and literally defended some of the true scum of the earth (Latin Kings, Gangster Disciples, etc) Having worked with real “thugs” in genuine “hoods” you have no idea how ridiculous you sound trying to apply their psychology to this middle-class kid living in a gated community in Florida( AND BTW you badly misunderstand the mind of street-rat. The truth is ‘bangers are by and large utter cowards who ONLY attack when they have numbers on their side, anything close to fair fight and they turn heel until they can gather up their posse and ambush their opponent
and there are gated communities.......
It is my understanding that community where Martin was killed resembles the second photo more than it resembles the first.
I’m not gloating or gleeful or anything like it that Trayvon is dead, but this whole thing jumped the shark a while ago.
What ticks me off to no end is the constant and persistent attempts, in the media, in the political arena, in public, on FR, etc. to demonize Mr. Zimmerman and create a martyr of sorts out of Trayvon.
In the process, throwing Mr. Zimmerman’s whole reputation into the crapper, or possibly cost him his life all for a political ploy.
There is absolutely nothing humorous about this and have not found one person indicating that.
I found the admin laughable in a shocking way that they are now blaming the repubs for what they have been doing. It’s mind boggling.
Because they wanted to cover their ass and the DA saw there was no case.
If this plays out, with the info rolling in on what a putz Trayvon was it could end very soon, the Feds will pretend they hear the word "Coons" on the 911 tape, call it a hate crime and make it Federal. Wolfinger won't want it so the Feds will have to make stuff up to get their show trial.
I agree with you about Zimmerman. Truly sad times we live in.
Another poster already corrected me on that point.
Agreed, sorry if I gave that impression.
"I found the admin laughable in a shocking way that they are now blaming the repubs for what they have been doing. Its mind boggling."
Agreed, but it's what students of Alinsky do. They blame/accuse their opponents of doing the very thing they themselves are engaged in. It's depraved.
You know, a few days ago, I posted that more recent picture of Zimmerman, too, but considering the bounty on his head, it might be better if fewer people knew what he looks like, you know?
This is America in the early 21st Century. Unfortunately the major media outlets have been engaging in the "politics of personal destruction" for quite some time now. Probably the only thing for Mr. Zimmerman to do is make the best of it like Sarah Palin & Joe the Plumber -- go into politics, write a book, etc. Just capitalize on the infamy that the Media heaps on you.
Thx for your response.
