I have a problem with the family and the circus that is being created by the racist Sharpton and his goons. They tried to make this kid out to be an angel that has never done anything wrong so they could gain publicity and unite the blacks against the whites, Zimmerman isn't even white but they would not get as much attention if they said that a Hispanic guy shot a black guy. I don't know what the laws are in Florida as to what a neighborhood watch person can or can't do, but carrying a gun in a gated community seems a little on the extreme side to me.

The parents are being used by the people that are advising them, every time someone like Sharpton gets involved things get out of hand. More often the whole situation blows up in his face and he is caught in lies that just make things worse for the victim and he just moves on, that is why some people are getting fed up with the racist talk.

Look at it this way. Say Zimmerman calls the police and lets the police handle it. The police approach Martin and see he's not armed and only has skittles and whatever else and that he's returning to his fathers' home. What would the police do? Nothing, because Martin was doing nothing wrong.

hoops23;1129767 wrote:But again, none of this is Trayvon's fault. People are getting pissed at Trayvon and trying to place blame on him because they don't want a race war to come out of this. That's ridiculous.

Look at some of the posts on here. It's like people are trying to paint Trayvon in a negative light in order to place blame on him for the entire situation.

Tell me where you see anything about him continuing pursuit despite dispatchers telling him not to. And he did call the police so they could handle it. But in the time it took them to show up and investigate, someone attacked someone, and hell broke loose.

Please read the narratives provided and have a clue of what you're talking about.

Makes sense. Almost as much sense as the idea that Martin decided to case some houses(in the same gated community he was living in) and then fly into a violent rage after walking to the gas station to get some skittles and talk to his girlfriend on the phone.

Are people really that desperate to frame this issue that they'll claim a picture of a random black kid posing with his pants sagging and middle fingers up is Martin? How transparent can you get?

hoops23;1129764 wrote:It's funny because the kid has taken pictures of himself in baggy pants flipping the bird that he's a "thug" and it's his fault.

He wasn't armed. He paid for the items he got. He was stalked.

Those are three things we know.

If Zimmerman isn't following the kid, nothing happens. The dispatcher told him that they didn't need him to keep pursuit, but he did anyway.
