Trayvon Martin

[stamperben]

... 17 years old, on his way back from the 7-11 during halftime, was stalked and hunted down like an animal by George Zimmerman, a wanna-be cop who has been acting as a vigilante in his neighborhood. Zimmerman apparently was on the hunt for young black men near where he lives, calling 911 46 times since Jan 1.

Here is a link to an article detailing the case and providing a bit of background into Florida's "self defense" law. It also provides some of the 911 calls that Zimmerman and others made. Listen and make up your own mind, but it seems clear just who confronted who.

This both sickens me and makes my blood boil to think that hunter of young black men just might get away with this. Yet racism is on the decline? No, not really, they just don't use ropes anymore.

Zimmerman is scum, obviously, but lets not forget the TERRIBLE behavior of the police department.

Leading witnesses, failing to request any drug and alcohol tests, not making any sort of arrest. Which was first explained away because Zimmerman had a "squeaky clean record". WHICH HE DOESN'T.

yes. The PD needs to be accountable in all this and more. Where's Holder and the Justice Department?

 

[Anovah]

I've been asking that question for the last 3 years. lol

 

[Phred]

And where are the gun-toting conservatives posting here that this is wrong?

Oh, right... they don't think it's wrong or they would rather die than take a chance on their guns being restricted in any way.

How did you conclude that Zimmerman was "on the hunt" for young black men?

Yup. There we go.

I've been following this story for awhile. It's really saddening and disgusting the way this case is being treated.

We can always count on Mach. He only hears what he wants to hear and only sees what he wants to see.

To be honest, I wouldn't have thought anyone was capable of the doublethink of reading of a guy who followed a kid against 911 directions and then shot him dead when he was screaming "No!" and begging for help, and thinking that this was anything other than a stalking and murder.

Apparently the LD can do it and some people, but still.

The FBI is monitoring the case and there are discrepancies with what witnesses told police, and what police reported.

Here

"Sanford police Chief Bill Lee Jr. told the Sentinel on Thursday night that he has invited the U.S. Department of Justice and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to review the investigation."

That's kind of ironic since you've made a conclusion that Zimmerman was on the hunt for young black men based on, exactly what?

Can you give us another example of a person whom we know for certain was "on the hunt" and called police to let them know they'd found a possible victim?

CAN'T YOU HEAR? The rest of the WHOLE WORLD hears the 911 recording and hears the dispatcher tell the dude to NOT FOLLOW! Add that up with ALL THE REST and you see a man on the go to confront YOUNG BLACK MEN in his neighborhood. That's being a predatory hunter Mach. Now if you are that bored that this is all you have, try going and playing a bit of shuffleboard with your retired buddies. Gripe about your Social Security benefits with them or something.

Zimmerman was on a Neighborhood Watch, saw a young black man whom he found engaging in suspicious behavior, looking at houses in a private community. The investigation has found insufficient evidence that there was a crime committed. But somehow you know that Zimmerman was "on the hunt". Go figure.

 

[Rion]

That's horrible and tragic.

Based on his 911 call. "they always get away"

 

[MachZer0]

Looks like Zimmerman has been found guilty without a trial. All that's left is to execute him.

Sounds fair, as it seems to be exactly what he did.

A few facts not is dispute. He shot the kid in the back after disregarding instructions from 911.
