Trayvon Martin

This'll get your older-RPFer conspiracy radar going.

I was having a discussion with someone about this last night, bringing them up to speed on the case. Here comes what's likely a long, hot summer. There's a big political race. People are already pissed about the economy and other crap (but in misguided ways). People get killed and maimed regularly.

But where did this kid get killed?

Less than two hours from Tampa where the GOP Convention is going to be :eek:

mmkay proceed.

That was posted in the main thread on the subject.

I've got an even better conspiracy.

The Martin shooting has been bubbling in the background for a month now.

But it just blew up now.

Sure took that story of the Afghan village slaughter off the front page, didn't it now?
 
Interesting Facts

I have spent the last few hours mapping out the times and events that happened that day using Google Maps. Looking at the record and the times that things were alleged to have happened, there is no way that the media portrayal of this incident is correct.

I suggest you do as I did and mark off where and when each event took place and then think about the timing of the calls. All of this info is widely available.

Here are some interesting facts:
- Trayvon ran away from Zimmerman and was lost to Zimmerman's view for 5 whole minutes. Trayvon's father's condo was only 100 yards away, why didn't he go and stay there?
- Trayvon's girlfriend talked to him for 4 minutes AFTER Zimmerman had already lost sight of Trayvon.
- How did the heavyset Zimmerman ever catch up to the athletic Trayvon? Especially since Trayvon had a 5 minute head start (Zimmerman lost Trayvon for 5 minutes)
- What does Trayvon's stepbrother say about that night? He was at the condo and the two kids were supposed to watch the All Star game together. Did he hear the gun shot?
- If Trayvon ran from Zimmerman for 5 minutes, how did he not cover the 100 yards to his house, and how did he end up only about 30 yards from where he ran past Zimmerman in the first place?

I personally think Trayvon ran away and then came back. I cannot otherwise explain the fact that he did not run straight home, 100 yards away.
 
I like how this country randomly chooses an incident to get mad about, but doesn't care about the rest.

Or is it random???? Discuss.
 
It took the Jena 6 debacle five months to blowup. It's all about timing.

Zimmerman had a car.

100 yards away from my house is another house, but I'd have to travel about a mile to actually get there. If I were running away and needed to call someone, I'd run out of sight, take a turn, then make the call. I would be unlikely to get to the other house (or my house from that house) in a few minutes without cutting through yards and jumping fences.

These things are not uncommon, so you have to ask why THIS story. It's not a conspiracy. It's tracing back the steps that the media itself took in deciding what sells and what to push.

i agree . this shit happens every day . why this 1 ? because it divides people that normally agree , gust look at the discussion about it on this site .
 
Racial Politics. A perfect red herring campaign issue. Also goes nicely with the people who have an irrational fear of guns (except in the hands of soldiers and law enforcement, who are professionally trained to "accidentally" kill innocent people.)

Is there a time that it could have become big where it wouldn't be "suspicious timing"? There is ALWAYS ten other things going on.

Somethings like Kony blow up really fast and then disappear just as fast. Other things the momentum takes a little longer.

There is no way the media could have ignored this story much longer when there were over a million people signing petitions with NBA athletes and Hollywood stars and the blogosphere and Church email lists and blogosphere all abuzz over this.

Maybe LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, my mom's Church email list and the more than a million people who signed the petition are involved in the conspiracy.

Or maybe this is a case that resonates with a lot of people.

As far as the Afghan village slaughter - everyone agrees that is completely fucked and the guy should be tried for murder. There is not much debate.

This case is different in that the perpetrator is free.

I tend to agree with Terrel here, I don't see a conspiracy here at all and I will say that I am definitely one to entertain conspiracies when they come up.

I wish people would get this upset when cops kill innocent unarmed people. Whether Martin was that or not, I don't know. But you don't have to look long to find much of that from law enforcement where the cases against the officers are obvious. And we hear crickets.
