**Official** Trayvon Martin thread

[BlackTerrel]

George Zimmerman's dad and Zimmerman himself have both said Trayvon went for the gun. Do you not pay attention to the news or are you just one of these black folk that quickly go off the handle because the NBP tells you too. Look at both sides of the story kiddo.

.... did you really bring aliens into this?

Wow you really nailed it on that one kiddo.

Who called you a racist?

I've gone back over the thread and haven't seen that.

Link?

It was in a neg rep comment. I don't care about neg reps, it's the idiotic comments left that offend me.

Thread: **Official** Trayvon...
Take your lying racist bullshit elsewhere.

That was from pco.

I'm sorry you don't get it, not everyone pays attention to all sides of the story. When I first heard about the kid getting killed i was pissed too, especially after seeing the pic of him, I assumed it was some 13 year old. Then it comes out that the media mislead us not only by altering the phone call but also using a four year old picture. And then the other side of the story comes out, sorry, but I'm someone who prefers hearing all sides of a story before automatically assuming the Hispanic fellow is guilty. Of which, I'm quite sure a lot of people said the man was an illegal alien.

Hahahah bullshit.

I'm sure Zimmerman just decided to bring up the temperature at that moment. Man people are really reaching to deny the obvious these days...

Of course they were not witnesses so they are merely repeating what Zimmerman told them. What initiated the confrontation? We have Zimmerman himself saying the kid was leaving the area and he was running after him. Despite the fact that up until that point all the kid had done was to walk down the street.

Bill Cosby weighs in on Trayvon Martin case

“The gun.”

Those two simple words flowed easily from the mouth of social commentator Bill Cosby during an exclusive interview Friday regarding the Trayvon Martin case, arguably the most high-profile, citizen-on-citizen U.S. slaying facing the Obama administration.

Trayvon was killed Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who told police that a “confrontation” with the unarmed 17-year-old led him to shoot in self-defense.

Mr. Cosby, a Navy veteran, said “the gun” empowered Mr. Zimmerman, whose actions have stirred a firestorm of debate, protests and remarks from President Obama.

“We’ve got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch,” said Mr. Cosby, whose remarks were the first he has made publicly about the case.

“Without a gun, I don’t see Mr. Zimmerman approaching Trayvon by himself,” Mr. Cosby explained. “The power-of-the-gun mentality had him unafraid to confront someone. Even police call for backup in similar situations.

“When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,” he said.

“We’ve got to get the gun out of the hands of people who are supposed to be on neighborhood watch"

“When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,”

What an asshole.

NW is not supposed to carry or follow or stalk or chase...etc, etc, etc.

They are supposed to "Observe and Report".

Zimmerman's lawyers withdraw from shooting case

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap...21BG0A?docId=787a077e14304b86a063cf7b5f69f505

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — The Trayvon Martin case took a bizarre turn Tuesday when George Zimmerman's attorneys quit, complaining that they have lost all contact with him and that he called the prosecutor and talked to a TV host after they told him not to speak to anyone.

The lawyers portrayed the former neighborhood watch captain as erratic and his mental state as shaky, and they expressed fear for his health under the pressure that has been building in the month since he shot and killed Martin, an unarmed black teenager.

"As of the last couple days he has not returned phone calls, text messages or emails," attorney Craig Sonner said at a news conference outside the courthouse. "He's gone on his own. I'm not sure what he's doing or who he's talking to. I cannot go forward speaking to the public about George Zimmerman and this case as representing him because I've lost contact with him."

The split came as a special prosecutor neared a decision on whether to charge Zimmerman with a crime in the Feb. 26 shooting.

Why is this an issue for libertarians? Martin had the right to be where he was. Zimmerman had no legal or moral authority to create that situation. He said himself he chased after Martin. He was the aggressor and lost any claim to self defense.

If some random guy starts chasing me after following me for simply "looking suspicious", then you better believe I have every right to defend myself. If he had a gun I would go for it too.

I'm not sure anyone said Martin had not right to be there. Have you read through this thread?

If you are in my neighborhood, can I not approach you? If I can't, then why not?

Do you really think a Hispanic living in 2012 would use the word coons? Seriously. This is the type of stuff which just baffles my mind in the frenzy to explicitly create a racially motivated attack. The real kicker is that Zimmerman actually organized a local movement through the local black churches in the area (a few years back) to support an old black man who was racially victimized. Now that is the most hilarious part of it this entire media fabrication. If you want to incriminate Zimmerman for being pushy and prone to violence that's fine, but save the righteous indignation for a "racial attack" for another day. Its' rather tiresome and beneath you honestly.

I have ears man.

You're asking me to ignore what my own ears tell me and take a leap of faith that he was commenting on the weather. What next? Zimmerman actually said "it's partly cloudy with a 70% chance or precipitation".

I think there is a part of your brain that hears coons. You see coons in your sleep. And a part of me can understand why.

Zimmerman assumed he didn't when he called 9/11 on him, then confronted him.

You can approach me, sure, and I can ignore you because you have no legal right to stop me, detain me, or otherwise interview me. If you don't approach me but follow me suspiciously, then chase me when I understandably fear you, you can expect a confrontation.
