NBA: Chuck Barkley agrees with Zimmerman trial verdict

[Trill Clinton]

Again, taking what the media says and running with it. He was arrested for assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. It was IMMEDIATELY dropped to resisting arrest, and then dropped altogether. Trayvon was shown to be a drug dealer in evidence from his FB posts and tweets, and stolen goods were found in his locker. But you tend to think he was doing nothing at all, except buying his candy and Arizona and going home. So Zim is lying because he has a bad history, but Trayvon was innocent and did nothing wrong when he had just as bad of a history. Hmm...

doesn't matter if it was dropped, he did it. there were no drugs on tray the night he died and he had no tools to commit burglary so....

[Spursfan092120]

really? i feel like it was made out to be that zimmerman was the white racist vigilante while trayvon was the poor innocent kid buying skittles for his brother who was only killed because he was black?

the pictures that came out of martin's gold teeth, etc, came out in response to the fact that they kept portraying trayvon as the 12 year old in a hollister shirt

Exactly...the only picture I saw blasted all over television during the trial was this one..



They just as easily could have posted this one..

if he did it, why were the charges dropped?

furthermore, its irrelevant what was on tray the night he died. has absolutely nothing to do with the case. his history is being brought up to show he's not this clean angel he's being made out to be, and to counter all of the irrelevant history of wrongdoings on zimmerman's part

[Spursfan092120]

doesn't matter if it was dropped, he did it. there were no drugs on tray the night he died and he had no tools to commit burglary so....

No..you're right..they found tools to commit burglary in his locker...along with the goods. You are so damn ridiculous right now. So you're saying every charge someone is brought up on, that means they did it, even if the cops drop all charges? Are you out of your damn mind? If some cop decided to come to your house right now and arrest you for assaulting him, and then got you to the police station and then dropped all charges, would you say "well, I was brought up on these charges, I must have done it." That's how riots get started...people bringing people up on charges when it's not factual.

[Spursfan092120]

The officer never told GZ he was an officer, and he attacked first. Shortly after that, in September 2005, the same unit was conducting a sting at UCF and an officer was killed by an OPD officer because he discharged his weapon and did not identify himself.

[Spursfan092120]

witnesses didn't see the entire fight. i'm pretty sure they tusseled and exchanged top control several times. who they saw on top is moot.

Again...hypotheticals.

why would trayvon's parents choose that photo to give to the news stations? would you choose that photo to represent your child? anyways....

[Trill Clinton]

if he did it, why were the charges dropped?

because his daddy is a judge?

and yea it is irrelevant, just like trayvon's marijuana use has nothing to do with him being killed that night.

[Spursfan092120]

why would trayvon's parents choose that photo to give to the news stations? would you choose that photo to represent your child? anyways....

Yep...and both of those people are s. So the parents choose a picture of their son from years ago, and the only picture the media could come up with for GZ was one from about 7 years ago when he was arrested. Nice.

[Spursfan092120]

because his daddy is a judge?

and yea it is irrelevant, just like trayvon's marijuana use has nothing to do with him being killed that night.

Guess you missed the actual story on why the charges were dropped...and you decide again to go with "he did it and got off even though he shouldn't have." Again, so every charge a cop brings up on someone is factual, and they're guilty. Understand...

[Spursfan092120]

because his daddy is a judge?

and yea it is irrelevant, just like trayvon's marijuana use has nothing to do with him being killed that night.

And GZ's accusation of molestation was irrelevant as well. Just like the dropped charges of assault.

[spurraider21]

if you are going to continuously bring up GZ's past, then you should realize that Martin's past was equally relevant. if you are going to dismiss Martin's past as irrelevant, then you must also dismiss GZ's past as irrelevant. can't have your cake and eat it too. can't talk about how you "dont trust that wife beating, police assaulting, cousin molesting" guy and simultaneously tell me about how Martin's history of fighting, drug use, and apparent theft isn't relevant to the case

[Trill Clinton]

what do them being s have to do with trayvon? just showing the hypocrisy in posting a photo of him sticking up his middle finger like most kids his age don't do the same. as far as the coward, the media got that photo from his mugshot from his previous run ins with the law. its standard procedure.

again, his charges were dropped thanks to his pops.

they're both irrelevant but the difference is, one person was a child and the other was a grown ass man who beat his wife, fought a cop and molested his cousin, sad.

that's all that matters. if its irrelevant, you can stop there. thanks

fify

And no...the charges were dropped because the officer didn't tell GZ he was an officer, and the officer attacked him first. So if an undercover comes up to you, and starts hitting you, and you hit back, and you get arrested for assaulting an officer, that's ok?

[Spursfan092120]

I love how hypocritical dude is... "These people accuse GZ of molestation, and he gets brought up on charges for something that is immediately dropped...he's a criminal..and a bad person...he must have been a racist murderer" followed by "There's no evidence of drug use or robbery tools on him when he was killed...he was a child so he could be a criminal and that's ok...he's only a 17 year old child." In Texas, 17 is a grown ass man.

[Trill Clinton]

that's all that matters. if its irrelevant, you can stop there. thanks

naw i'll continue. one was a 17 year old kid with his life ahead of him, the other was a grown ass man who molested his cousin for over a decade, sad.

you said you have friends who sip lean, are they bad people?

[Spursfan092120]

you said you have friends who sip lean, are they bad people?

Nope...but they didn't deal drugs and rob people.

[Spursfan092120]

Look man...again..he didn't deserve to die...just bugs me that people are painting a halo on his head and a devil's crown on Zimmerman's, and calling it racism. Both sides were wrong. That's where I'm donePERIOD

[Trill Clinton]

Nope...but they didn't deal drugs and rob people.

proof that trayvon robbed people and sold drugs? anybody can tweet that they sell drugs, where is the proof?

[spurraider21]

naw i'll continue. one was a 17 year old kid with his life ahead of him, the other was a grown ass man who molested his cousin for over a decade, sad.

so you preface it by saying "its irrelevant" then go on to tell me about how its relevant. smooth. if thats what your argumentation comes down to, i'm done here

[Trill Clinton]

nobody said he was perfect. his own mother said he wasn't perfect, but he was only 17 and people have turned him into a 30 year old thug with the fighting skills of mike tyson.

peace

proof that trayvon robbed people and sold drugs? anybody can tweet that they sell drugs, where is the proof?

Look man..I've stated it several times..the stolen items were in his locker along with burglary tools. And his tweets were asking people where to find codeine to make a batch and a lot of people asking him where to go to buy "a plant" and other things of that nature. And it wasn't just one person. There's your proof. But like I said...he didn't deserve to die. Just don't act like he was a perfect innocent child and GZ was a horrible person, so he must be a racist murderer, and had no reason to kill Trayvon. I hope you don't believe Trayvon was shot just for walking home. If that's so, you're really not ready to have this conversation. Now....I'm done. I have nothing against you, man...just got different feelings about this case.
