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 su ious 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."

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

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".

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

self defense? The kid had no gun, weighs 80 pounds less... what the 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?

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.

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 su ious 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.
