Black Kid killed for being black

[jimnyc]

Her position does seem to be that he cleverly disguised his first degree murder intentions by luring the skittle-eating, iced tea-drinking child into attacking him viciously so he could then carry out his plans of world domination.

Best post in a long time! LOL

You know what sucks though, now every time I see skittles I am going to think of Wing Nut. And trust me, I like my junk food, so this is liable to happen more often than not!

True, I already LOATHE those who drink iced tea, and I live in the South, now I'm going to look twice at those who eat Skittles. Halloween will suck this year...

How do you figure this guy was Zimmerman's buddy? Oh, and he was on the phone with 911 as the shooting happened. He saw the assault, saw Zimmerman cry out for help as his head was being bashed and then called 911. Do you figure maybe him and Zimmerman made up matching lies while Zimmerman was still getting hit by Trayvon? LOL

he and zimmerman were friends, neighbors, and yea, they could have easily colluded on what to say, easily

How did they do that when this man was on the phone with 911 before the fight ended? Are you stating that this was pre-meditated? How could they have colluded when this man was in the midst of calling 911 while Zimmerman was outside fighting with Martin? That makes no sense.

Oh, and please post proof they were friends. Obviously they live near one another but I wasn't aware they were friends.

Zimmerman is half white. He was initially referred to in police reports as white. The name "Zimmerman" isn't Hispanic. Racial profiling was involved in this case. Martin is dead b/c he was "walking around while black". 73% of blacks said they believe George Zimmerman would have been arrested if Trayvon was white, while 33% of whites agreed.

Do all blacks behave nervous or paranoid as they walk through neighborhoods looking into other people's residences; because that's why he was deemed suspicious. To assuage that suspicion, do all blacks pound another man's head into the ground? Just curious if that's the case in your perspective; because if they do, then i'm compelled to agree with you that there is a a racial aspect to the case.

The fact an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.

Continue to ban me from every thread I post on. Ban me permanently.

Say WHAT!!! Ban the village idiot? That would be heartless and unfair, I protest this pending atrocity! Just sayin.

You implied that they posted in this forum. You're not above naming names are you? Besides, now you're trying to move from your general statement of those believing that "racism doesn't exist" to the specific of this case which is two different things. I bit dishonest eh?

What are you talking about?

This boy wasn't doing anything wrong. Zimmerman wouldn't leave him alone or let LE handle it. Zimmerman initiated the fight, and like the coward he is whipped out his pistol and shot Trayvon dead.

Really? Is this an example of hidden racism?

After Trayvon assaulted him, broke his nose and was pounding his head into the ground. Why do you always go from Zimm following him and then directly shooting him, but conveniently leave out the portion that the eyewitness saw?

If Trayvon didn't profile the Hispanic man and assault him, he would be alive today. If you don't like my opinion, TFB.

Trayvon fought for his life after Zimmerman attacked him. Zimmerman is such a wheeny he couldn't take his own medicine, so he executed Trayvon.

Give a link to one story that puts Zimmerman as the physical instigator.

No one knows who instigated it. The GF says she was on the phone with Tray when he was approached by Zimmerman and his headset went dead when it was knocked off his head.

Sounds to me like Zimmerman went after Martin and then executed him when Tray did a good job defending himself.
Only under limited circumstances can an aggressor resort to self-defense. Such situations occur when a person responds to the aggressor's force so disproportionally that it would cause a reasonable person to fear for their life; or when an aggressor renounces the attack but the victim continues to use force. However, under either scenario, the aggressor has a duty to retreat. If we examine the confrontation in this light, it is abundantly clear that George Zimmerman was the aggressor and his use of force was excessive.

Being punched about the face and receiving a bloody nose is insufficient justification to use deadly physical force.


Stand Your Ground was never envisioned to allow someone to pursue and confront people like they are the police. If anyone could have invoked "Stand Your Ground," it was Trayvon. Unfortunately, we will never hear his side of the story.

You stand with Zimmerman, the executioner, and I stand with Martin, the deceased victim.

No bias on your part, right?

You do understand the difference between facts and your inferences/opinions, right? Wrong. Yeah, the question was rhetorical.
