Trayvon Martin

    The slaying of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a Florida high school student who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, has captured national attention.

    Petitions and protests calling for justice for Martin have exploded amid allegations of racism and scrutiny into how local police handled the investigation. George Zimmerman has yet to be charged in the case.

    (Basically, Zimmerman, neighborhood watch captain, sees this black boy with a hood walking through his neighborhood. He assumes he's rustling through his jacket pocket. Zimmerman calls the police and tells them about the boy. He says something it seems racist though the way I remember it. Follows him, supposedly there is a confrontation. Screams of help are heard. BANG! A gun shot and Trayvon Martin is dead. Police takes Zimmerman's word about self defense and they believe him and he gets off scott free without drug test or warning.)

    Comment?

    Police footage shows a very un-broken nose and un-bloodied clothing of the murderer. Zimmerman is guilty, and his defense of Trayvon attacking him is utter baloney.

    Not much is really out to the public on this. I just think it is being blown out of porportion.

    Who's side are you on?

    I think if a man is guilty of murder and gets off free and receives a pat on the back then it shouldn't be blown out of proportion but in,out,around, and upside down the proportion.

    I think that Tayvon was doing something that caused Zimmerman to take action. It was right for him to do something but actually shooting him might have been too far.

    -_- Just to correct something on this: Zimmerman is Mexican, NOT WHITE! I just want to point that out now that people want to compare martin to Emmett Till.

    -_- Raxor, Martin did not do anything for Zimmerman to even shoot the kid. Zimmerman reports the police saying that Martin is suspicious for no reason, police told him not to go up to the kid, Zimmerman did anyways, chase the young man, got on top of him, Martin yells for help and Zimmerman brutally murders him. Now there are controversies saying that Martin beat up the Mexican but there are NO evidence or pictures showing that Zimmerman has been injured.

    Trayvon is a good kid. Zimmerman followed Trayvon because he was suspicious. Zimmerman has had some violent acts reported on him. The odds of that boy attacking a grown man like Zimmerman and brutally assaulting him or whatever is slim to none.

    I won't continue to discuss this when there are conflicting bits of information. Some places discribe him as a good kid, others show him as a thug.

    Zimmerman properly defended himself. He was assaulted and had no other choice. What was he supposed to do?

    :mad: What you are not getting is that Zimmerman was not assaulted at all and that there are false witnesses who are trying to say as though Martin deserves to get shot.

    So, I follow a suspicious character in my neighborhood. Shoot first ask questions later then go home.

    Umm...I think not!

    Lets put it this way. If the kid was a thug, he could be doing much with skittles and iced tea in his hand. Because he had a hood on? Oh yea thug life for sure. I wear a hood and I can tell you I'm nowhere near a thug. Skittles and Iced tea don't kill people, guns do.

    It's obviously racially driven violence,

    Now consider this, if Trayvon was a white man in a business suit with skittles and arizona what are the chances of him getting shot.

    Im sure if white men in business suits commited those kinds of crimes for decades and became the poster child for them, i'm sure he'd be shot.




    They glorify this like black on white crime isnt FAR more common.

    This kid attacked him. He smashed his head into the ground. I'd shoot him.

    :mad: How dumb can you get?! Are you really going to believe those false witness and think that Martin really going to fight someone who weighs heavier than him? The evidence all shows that Zimmerman was attacking Martin first and even if Martin fought back against Zimmerman in resistance for his life, at least he has a reason to resist Zimmerman when ZImmerman was trying to hurt him. OH SURE! Let us have Vox or Kitty or one of us come up to you while you walk out of the store and kill you. I bet someone would say that you went and attack one of us and we can say that we were fighting in self-defense when Jesus know that we intentionally wanted to hurt you. OH YES! Did I mention before that Zimmerman is Mexican? For you sir, you are just a piece of crap for even wanting to hurt someone in the first place.

    Zimmerman is half mexican.

    >evidence all shows that Zimmerman was attacking Martin first
    Really? The witness said other wise.

    > false witness
    Yea call me dumb and then go on about speculation. At least what i said was in the official report.

    >For you sir, you are just a piece of crap for even wanting to hurt someone in the first place
    Well i'm sorry we differ on opinions, im sure that just makes me a bad person.

    Hey this is a debate, we attack the other persons comments not the other person.

    But yeah, all the evidence points us in the direction of racial violence I don't see any other reason Zimmerman would attack Martin when Martin didn't even do anything.

    Witnesses can be payed off or other possible selfish personal reasons.

    At first, no one saw what had happen. Now, a witness wants to testify a month later.
