What happened to Trayvon?

Martin, a Miami native, was visiting his father in Sanford and watching the NBA All-Star game at a house in a gated Sanford community, the Retreat at Twin Lakes. At halftime, Martin walked out to the nearby 7-Eleven to get some Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea. On his return trip, he drew the attention of Zimmerman, who was patrolling the neighborhood in a sport-utility vehicle and called 911 to report "a real suspicious guy."

"This guy looks like he's up to no good or he's on drugs or something," Zimmerman told the dispatcher. "It's raining, and he's just walking around looking about." The man tried to explain where he was. "Now he's coming towards me. He's got his hand in his waistband. And he's a black male...Something's wrong with him. Yup, he's coming to check me out. He's got something in his hands. I don't know what his deal is...These assholes, they always get away."

:lol

You know the story about the scorpion and the frog? Your friend Trayvon didn't make it across the river.

[monosylab1k]

I'm not usually a "the liberal media is trying to influence us!" kinda guy, but in this case I've seen a few instances where the "these assholes, they always get away" quote is simply "these [expletive] they always get away" which, let's be honest, they're trying to paint this guy as a big racist so instead of finding an edited way of letting you know he said "assholes" they're trying to get you to infer that he said "n!ggers".

[Huey Freeman]

Thats some fucked up shit

[InRareForm]

He is claiming self defense yet he doesn't follow directions by dispatcher on not following him. fuck zimmerman

self defense? The kid had no gun, weighs 80 pounds less... what the fuck was the kid going to do to him to possibly kill him?

It really doesn't matter if he said the word "n!ggers" or not. The fact that he said these assholes. Who are these assholes he is referring to? Is he refering to young teenagers, people walking around with skittles in their pockets?

[monosylab1k]

There definitely needs to be a bigger investigation into this, but you can't go around calling a guy a cold blooded murderer unless you have some real proof.

probably youngsters with skittles.

[JoeChalupa]

I'm surprised a thread about this wasn't started sooner. I'm all for neighborhood watch programs but the guy was in his vehicle when he called 911. Never should have gotten out of the vehicle and I've told my kids to be suspicious of someone following them.
How there was no further investigation at the time on the incident suprises me but then again Florida's "stand your ground" law makes it easier to use deadly force.

[monosylab1k]

Florida's about as fucked up and backwards a state as it gets, besides maybe Mississippi (lol dirk4mvp), so this really shouldn't shock anyone.

Being in neighborhood watch has it's privileges apparently.

how the fuck is it a stupid law? That law wasn't used at all in this scenario. The guy went completely out of his way to "stand his ground" so really he wasn't standing his ground at all. Don't blame the law

^ I have to agree with this. Don't blame the law blame the fuck who fired his weapon unprovoked.

What if a black cop shoots an unarmed white guy? Is it racist and a hate crime?


Let's say a white man kill his white neighbor because he hated his neighbor over the fact that his neighbor had a better car than he did, is that a hate crime?


How can you prove hate? When did an emotion become a crime and illegal?

Listen to the 911 call, he said "they always get away", implying some racist shit towards black people then he was following the guy. Then in another 911 call you can here in the background this guy is hurting the kid & then shoots him, the kid screamed out "help".

Really the basis of your argument is too general & not specific.

And emotion isn't a crime but it certainly adds up to motive.

a hate crime is all about motive. every crime is a result of hate, but the "hate" in hate crime refers to prejudice and is not provoked. it is different.

Zimmerman stalked the kid because he was prejudice. a lot of cops in big cities probably are. i know many of the ones i know are. it can happen when a majority of the people they arrest are black.

[Jacob1983]

I just don't understand what emotions and feelings have to do with the punishment and sentencing of a crime. What's the difference between killing some random that you don't know and killing someone that you hate for whatever reason? It's still murder at the end of the day.

Why is it always a hate crime when a white person particularly a white male kills a human that belongs to a minority group?

[tlongII]

Fox News' Geraldo Rivera attributed Trayvon Martin's tragic death to his hoodie on Friday morning's "Fox and Friends."

Martin, an unarmed Florida teenager, was shot to death by a self-appointed neighborhood watch volunteer named George Zimmerman in late February. His death has become a national tragedy, and the police handling of Zimmerman has further fueled uproar over the case.

On Friday morning, Rivera said that he had a "different take" on the case than most other people. He said that he believed George Zimmerman should be "investigated to the fullest extent of the law" and "prosecuted" if criminally liable, but blamed Martin's parents for letting him go outside wearing a hoodie.

It's his fucking right to believe and think whatever the hell he wants. That shouldn't be punished.

Killing someone because you're jealous of their life and possessions is the same damn thing. It's not provoked, is it?

Are you twats seriously defending the idea of hate crimes or just trying to explain it to jacob1983?

[manufan10]

I'm still not getting what Geraldo was getting at with the hoodies.. when did a hoodie become "gangsta" dress wear?

[Oh, Gee!!]

hoodie is kinda emo/hipster too

hipster

I remember when that word used to have a meaning.

There is no way Zimmerman should be convicted of murder in my opinion. Not with Florida's "stand your ground" laws.

What a stupid motherfucking case. Young thug thought he was so hood till Zimmerman shot his ass. I still can't stop laughing at the stupid ass media showing nothing but pictures of that little thug when he was fucking 12 and shit. Shit like that is why the World fucking laughs at our media. Fucking biased pieces of shit looking to make everything a race story.
