The people who are complaining that the "liberal" media and his parents keep showing photos of Trayvor Martin when he was skiing or when he was in his football uniform or hugging his Dad, is because they want the public to know he was a HUMAN BEING. I don't even like all the T-shirts and buttons, unless the money is going to a foundation to prevent gun violence. He's not a symbol. He was a 17 year old teenager who wanted to be a pilot.

This is what the left wing mainstream media does. Once again the loser gullible minions of the left ,-down the cool aid. They don't sip it they guzzle it and throw it up all over everyone. The choir boy turns out to be a teenage thug up to no good he's called on it pisses him off and he takes the liberty to beat the hell out of the guy that called him on it

Now so the *******s and racist agitators have sh.t on their shoes in their hair and gargled a little and will have to draw blood from the man for exercising self defense. I wont be changing my mind over gun rights or tearing up my concealed carry permit over this story

Told you to stop using your imagination and wait for the facts. You *******s live in a dream world and that's your problem. You will have to grow up sometime and take some personal responsibility.

Can anyone come up with a scenario where an unarmed person presents a deadly threat to an armed person? I could see the following scenarios...

Unarmed person is in a car.

Unarmed person is Kimbo Slice. Armed person is Natalie Portman.

Unarmed person has dragon breath.

Unarmed person is Professor X, Wolverine or a Jedi.

???

this applies to cops, security, and to even neighborhood watch. the fact that they were selling dope or breaking into a car is not the issue. they are worried they are going to get shot.
does this sound right?
of course from the cop perspective, leaving your glock at home will not guarantee that the dope peddler on the corner will not beat u up when u ask him what is he doing.
how do we overcome this problem??. how do we avoid another zimmerman? please dont just post the solution is for the cops to just get lost or never carry any weapons.
please see my profile i am non white.
What the Truck are you talking about???? If someone is following you and they do not identify themselves and they have a gun do you honestly believe that the results are going to be favorable? The race does not matter if you would ask any man who is in a fight or flee mode if they think that they have a beeter chance fighting than running guess what? You are going to have a fight on your hands!

I really don't know what makes you think blacks are any different than anyone else, I guess this is the premise of the whole shooting in the first place

Unarmed person is actually armed with deadly skittles and Ice Tea grenades

Media Matters did not acknowledge it. Not true!!

"Riehl also went searching for old Facebook photos of Martin. He suggested he found one that featured a young boy posing in his underwear flashing an obscene hand gesture. He later took the photo down because he could not confirm it was the Martin who was murdered (it wasn't), never bothering to explain what relevance old Facebook pictures had to do with the Florida killing.

Still, Michelle Malkin's new site Twitchy followed the misguided lead and also posted the same Facebook picture, suggesting the press had been hiding it because it made Martin look more menacing.

Malkin's site was then forced to post a correction and apology."


Edit: If you feel I am wrong, please go to the Media Matters web site and show me where they said any of the photos you claim are Martin are legitimate.

Still, I have no idea what difference it makes. Next someone is going to agree with the blonde teacher who sexually abused her students and thought she was too pretty to go to prison.

He was also a Jedi in training. I saw his father on TV last night... Mace Windu. Zimmerman is screwed.

Unarmed person doesn't know that you're armed, has you on the ground beating you and you don't believe they're going to stop. Before you go unconscious, you pull your weapon. They try to take your weapon once they see it, and you fire. Are you stupid enough to believe that just because a person is unarmed that they can't still kill you or disable you for life?

I think simply pointing the gun at Martin would have ended the fight. You draw the gun, point it at him, and then back up. Once the gun is drawn, and all Martin has is a bag of Skittles, what threat is he facing at that point? Again, there are only three men on earth who I'd be afraid of in that situation:

the internet tough guy can handle anything. he does not need weapons he just frowns at the gangbangers and everybody runs. he always knows that cops, security and neighborhood watch are just fools. he knows better than them. he does not need any stupid police academy or military training. how to handle violent criminals comes natural, bek he is sitting in the throne of wisdom, the computer station in the living room with a can of beer and some munchies.

Yes, my brain is defintely functioning because I am thinking on my own and not being spoonfed by the right wing smear apparatus.
How about, "Obama justice for hoods"
