Trayvon was a thug in waiting. I wish they’d stop showing the picture of the baby faced 12 year old and instead show the current drug delaing gangsta with an assault under his belt.

:eek: :bigyikes: :bigyikes: :bigyikes:
Zimmerman acted in self defense. The story is purely about race (can they cram the word “white” in there anymore?).

Of course they can. Zimmerman is a white Hispanic, you know. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Could you please reference from where in the transcript you pulled your “quote.”

Do you realize “quote” marks are for verbatim verbiage, not paraphrases?
 
I have no doubt about the image he projected I conceded that from the get-go. Its a dangerous image which one should know when they portray it.

The encounter with the actual confrontation of a man with a firearm and a unarmed man is in question.

I can’t see in my mind how this kid ends up dead unarmed. I suppose we’ll hear more as time elapse’s, however there is a point where the man had the gun and this kid was a distance away. How a kid runs up on a man with a firearm, gets beat and a shot is fired seems a total lack control and knowledge of the postion Zimmerman placed himself in.

As for this “following” nonsense, a neighborhood watch cannot watch unless eyes are on sight. :rolleyes:

This photo is a fake:

Over the weekend, a picture began circulating that claimed to show Martin in a less-than-flattering light: shirtless, sagging pants, and giving the finger to the camera.

The image quickly circulated across blogs and websites, with many claiming it as evidence that Martin was not as innocent as family and supporters claimed, as well as alleging media bias.

There is one problem to that claim: the picture is not Trayvon Martin.

Or at the very least, he’s not the one who made worldwide headlines after his death. The Facebook page the picture came from appears to belong to a different Trayvon Martin, whereas the image is nowhere to be found on the slain teen’s profile.

Be careful my friend, never forget that Satan is the great deceiver.
 
From another blog:

ABC News just reported some important new developments
-Trayvon was suspended from school for having an empty MARIJUANA baggie on him
-Zimmerman told police Trayvon went for his gun
-A 13 year old named Austin Brown told police he saw a man fitting Zimmerman’s description lying on the grass moaning and crying for help just seconds before he heard the gun shot
1 HOUR AGO

How did Trayvon go for his gun? I thought his weapon was CONCEALED?

If someone pulls a gun out on you of course you’re gonna go for the weapon to avoided being shot. Also that statement conflicts with what has already been stated. People claim Trayvon was able to break Zimmerman’s nose and pound his head into the concrete. Now if he could do ALL of that then why couldn’t he have wrestled the gun away from him?​

You posted that. . . . . WOW. . . . just WOW. . . . .
 
Whether or not that is a picture of Martin, I don’t know.

But I do wonder, has this “boy” not had his picture taken for the past 6 years? :confused: The only pictures I have seen are when he was 12 or younger.
 
So self defense is a 17-yo at 160lbs “unarmed” against a man at what 28 at 250lbs with a 9mm. Boy oh boy I could see that lovely self defense case crumble like a cookie. 😉

(calm down Ringil. . . . . ). . . . . OK I have seen a picture of Martin in his football uniform countless times on CNN, which looks to be from his Jr. or Sr. year.

It’s likely the picture of the younger Trayvon is a copy
of one cherished by his parents - and given to the press.

Very easy if Trayvon didn’t know he had a gun. Trayvon was doing the ground pound on Zimmerman - unless Zimmerman screamed out he had a gun Trayvon wouldn’t know it until he actually saw it - you don’t concentrate on a person’s waist band when you are pounding their head in.
 
Lets assume the kid looked a thug? So what? He had a hoodie and his hands were in his pockets. He is 6’2 and 160lbs and 17.

The question that begs to be asked if, IF he was white would he have been followed? And would this incident have occured?

The question is why are they not using more recent pictures?
