Lebron and the Heat wear Hoodies in Honor of Trayvon Martin

[jag]

I get what youre saying DoK, but by law you still have the right to self-defense depending on the events immediately preceding an altercation. If the were having a heated conversation and Martin drops dude and starts pummeling him, then he's no longer a scared "kid", he's the aggressor. A scared "kid" doesnt double back and find the guy who was follow him. That's pretty much what the story looks like right now. Because Martin had lost sight of him and could have continued on his way.

Like I said, they're both stupid and the whole thing could have been avoided. As of right now, Zimmerman's statement has been corroborated by the evidence and he's been found to have committed no crimes. Last I checked, stupidity isn't a crime.

Fair enough, he's not an authority figure, but martin's inability to conduct a simple, respectable conversation with someone resulted in his death.

Methinks Zimmerman was anything but simple and respectable when he approached Martin. I'd be willing to bet he greeted Martin with something along the lines of, "What you doing in the neighborhood coon? You wanna died !"

And as far as facts go, the two were walking, there was never a foot chase.

The 911 call when Zimmerman says, "Now he's running away" and then responds, "yes" while breathing heavily when asked if he was chasing Marin wasn't a foot chase?

The part where he said, "These assholes they always get away!" also doesn't sound at all like Zimmerman was chasing him

Zimmerman was trying to keep an eye on him and was actually asked to report what he could see to the dispatcher. You should check out the calls and read the police report.

The dispatcher asked him to describe Martin's physical traits so the cops could identify him.

You can also pretend to play dumb and take the words "You don't have to do that" completely literal, but the tone of his voice when he said so makes it obvious he was suggesting Zimmerman stop following him.

Info on Zimmerman:

Records show that he previously worked for used-car retailer CarMax and at a Lake Mary insurance company.

A ing used car salesman - lol

His Dad desribes him as:

The elder Zimmerman previously described his son as an altar boy in an interview with the Sentinel

.

So he must have been raped by Catholic Priests

Records also show that George Zimmerman has a tattoo on his chest of a cross, with the name, “Christina.”

What a got - lol

Last I checked, the court is going to take into account what was said literally, not what random people interpret his comments to mean. It's the reason he's not in jail.

He's going to caught by the BLACK PANTHERS SOON - tell that to the KKK - lol

What if it was Tim Duncan's kid..that changes the game right?

Is Duncan's kid a hoodrat? Does Duncan even have kids?

He stopped Trayvon and said: " I want to sell you a car black "

Is Duncan's kid a hoodrat? Does Duncan have kids?

Yes, but they dont walk around in neighborhoods they don't live at 1:00 am with a hoodie on (hood up) in 85 degree weather.

[Koolaid_Man]

Is Duncan's kid a hoodrat? Does Duncan even have kids?

well let's see...He has a tongue ring and a tramp stamp...hoodrat ( and gay ) so yes...I'd say his kid would be a hoodrat...and yes he has kids

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Yes, but they dont walk around in neighborhoods they don't live at 1:00 am with a hoodie on (hood up) in 85 degree weather.

Wasn't this a gated community he was walking around in too?

[jag]

u have the new iPad or the iPad2?

iPad 2... I dont have super silly money and I actually prefer my laptop or work computer, so i don't use it enough to justify getting the "new" iPad.

hey tell the racists that you're talking to on that website it was around 7:00pm and Trayvon was actually walking to the store during NBA ALL-Star game halftime...if you're too afraid to tell them then just give me the link and warn them I'm coming over...and unlike Trayvon I'm strapped to a tee so it won't be no picking Kool off - ya dig

I get what youre saying DoK, but by law you still have the right to self-defense depending on the events immediately preceding an altercation.

The fact Zimmerman followed him after he was running away from Zimmerman is a pretty important event that immediately preceded the altercation.

If the were having a heated conversation and Martin drops dude and starts pummeling him, then he's no longer a scared "kid", he's the aggressor.

The aggressor is the guy who called the cops, was told the cops were on their way, yet still felt the need to follow the kid.

A scared "kid" doesnt double back and find the guy who was follow him.

I'd be willing to bet anything that isn't what happened. A kid with no priors and a clean record who was walking down the street where his dad lives eating skittles doesn't randomly get the inclination to become a thug ass with bad table manners.

That's pretty much what the story looks like right now. Because Martin had lost sight of him and could have continued on his way.

Please. Zimmerman was able to make up basically any story he wanted. God knows the "witnesses" in the neighborhood who were on high alert due to house break ins weren't going to side with the 17 year old black kid. You don't follow someone who you think is a legitimate threat to your life. That part of the story is illogical and doesn't make any sense.

Like I said, they're both stupid and the whole thing could have been avoided.

Martin wanted to avoid the whole thing. He was running away.

As of right now, Zimmerman's statement has been corroborated by the evidence and he's been found to have committed no crimes. Last I checked, stupidity isn't a crime.

It was the perfect crime. There's no way the police are gonna get evidence/witnesses in a racist white dirty south neighborhood that wants all n!ggers to die.

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

well let's see...He has a tongue ring and a tramp stamp...hoodrat ( and gay ) so yes...I'd say his kid would be a hoodrat...and yes he has kids

Tim Duncan is whiter than me...and his wife is white. I'm sure the kid's just fine. If not, Uncle David can come over and read him a sermon.

[jag]

Wasn't this a gated community he was walking around in too?

Yeah. And there is also talk about the area of the gated community he was in. Like he took the long way to get to h is dad's girlfriend place and was seemingly more or less walking around the place. Although some people say he could have just been out for a stroll enjoying the night air in his hoodie.

[Goran Dragic]

Last I checked, the court is going to take into account what was said literally, not what random people interpret his comments to mean. It's the reason he's not in jail.

only responding to that part of the post.

What about the part where Zimmerman says "yes" in response to the question of him chasing Martin. How should the court take that into account?

[Goran Dragic]

Wasn't this a gated community he was walking around in too?

I wasn't aware walking around a gated community your dad lives in was a punishable offense.

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

If you're wearing a hoodie in Florida, you're up to no good. You can't stand outside with a t-shirt on for more than 10 minutes without sweating.

[Goran Dragic]

Yes, but they dont walk around in neighborhoods they don't live at 1:00 am with a hoodie on (hood up) in 85 degree weather.

Oh ! Wearing a hoodie WITH the ing hood up AND walking around a gated community!

This er might have been plotting a terrorist attack!

[Koolaid_Man]

It was a gated community but I saw the place it wasn't like a fly ass place to live...they have gated communities in the hood also - lol

I just want the Black Panthers to try and capture him..and he start a shoot out with them and they end up killing him and claiming self defense...that's what I'm hoping for

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

I didn't either, but thankfully we have people like Mr. Zimmerman watching out for us.
