Open carry - TM would still be alive if he knew his target was armed.

No civil lawsuit against Zimmerman for wrongful death? Wonder why...

SoFloFreeper :"Does ANYONE there know or care that SYG was NOT PART OF GEORGE ZIMMERMAN'S DEFENSE? "

Don't let TRUTH stand in the way of Agenda
Tracy was a memberof a gang : The Crypts
and gang members certainly don't want anyone to fight back, much less Stand Your Ground (SYG).
Where was Tracy , the fatherand his girlfriend Brandi Green , on the night of the Zimmerman assault ? .. and who was he with then ?
The media didn't ask , so the media didn't tell !
Gangs don't like people fighting back , much less Standing Your Ground . !
Remember : Liberal AGENDA must ignore the truth , that is why the entire Martin legal case depended on "spin " and " edited publicity ".

“Crippin’ is a choice, but it’s forever. You may slow down, but you will always be down forever.”


It started with trying to figure out why Traydaddy, Tracy Martin, changed his neck tattoo sometime between March 22nd and March 26th.
The Answer and the amended gang tattoo can be found at :

One of the reasons that liberals hate self-defense laws is that it puts responsibility on them, as individuals, for their own safety.

Libs are all about putting responsibility on others or on the State.

The DemoRATS love people like Tracy Martin who they can use to push their liberal agendas. Think Tracy Martin to use to repeal Stand Your Ground laws. Think Sandra Fluke to use to get free contraceptives for all women. Think Cindy Sheehan for their anti-war push against Bush.

These people are useful idiots to the DemoRAT party to further their agendas. As soon as their usefulness is past, the RATS will drop them like a lead balloon. Heard of Cindy Sheehan lately? Heard of Sandra Fluke lately? And soon you will not hear any more of Tracy Martin. Like someone said, his 15 minutes was up a longtime ago.

EEGator :"The Crypts?"

Sorry , I have Haloween on my mind..
The Crips are primarily, but not exclusively, an African American gang founded in Los Angeles California in 1969
mainly by 16-year-old Raymond Washington and Stanley Tookie Williams III.

Was Tracy Martin a good father to his son?

He’s a former gang member, right? And he doesn’t want potential victims to be able to fight back.

On that level I can see why he wants to destroy our right to protect ourselves.

I’ll bet he would defund police departments if he could... maybe outlaw security guards at banks..

Actually Trayvon probably could have gotten away with that... What he couldn’t get away with was attempting to beat a man to death by hitting his head against the sidewalk.

I see some potential for amusement here. Counter her legislation with a different law that calls for enhanced penalties for the possession and use of purple drank and its variants.

It is not intellectual feebleness, it is a design by a pair of criminals to undermine the citizens’ right to self defense. Doing so will make racial crimes by blacks that much safer.

If such people cared about facts, there wouldn’t have been a trial. All they care about is race.

St. Skittles would have still tried to put the beat down on Zimmerman, only he'd have made the play for the gun first. Probably gotten it, too. Open carry in this situation would have been really bad.

Probably Tallahassee. The “capital” of FL. If he was where the Legislature meets, he was likely in the “capitol” building as well.
