10 Reasons Everyone Should Be Furious About Trayvon Martin’s Murder
Get angry.
1. “Suspicious behavior” IS NOT “Just walking around looking about.”
George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, called 911 to report Trayvon Martin as a suspicious person. He told the cops Trayvon was “JUST WALKING AROUND LOOKING ABOUT.”
2. In reality, Trayvon Martin had a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. Zimmerman had a 9 millimeter handgun.
Sound suspicious to you?
3. The 911 operator told Zimmerman that officers were being dispatched and NOT TO PURSUE THE BOY.
He was told NOT TO PURSUE HIM, yet he still did.
4. Zimmerman has called 911 46 TIMES since January 2011.
He reported ‘disturbances, break-ins, windows left open and other incidents.’
5. In his 911 call George Zimmerman may have used a racial slur.
You can listen to the phone call here. It sounds like he says “fucking coons.”
6. George Zimmerman has a violent past yet was still allowed to WALK AROUND FREELY WITH A GUN.
Zimmerman had a previous charge in 2005 of battery on a police officer while interfering with the arrest of a friend. His ex-girlfriend had also filed a restraining order on him for domestic abuse. For some reason, he was ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND FREELY WITH A GUN.
7. Zimmerman is using the “stand your ground” law as his defense. Critics say the “stand your ground” law basically gives a person a license to kill.
8. When the “stand your ground” law was passed, critics said it could encourage racially motivated killings and promote deadly escalations of arguments.
“All this bill will do is sell more guns and possibly turn Florida into the OK Corral,” said Democratic state Rep. Irv Slosberg of Boca Raton in 2005.
9. The amount of national media coverage from February 26 to March 19 is disturbing.
10. Trayvon Martin was buried on March 3. George Zimmerman is still free.

Horns667 10 months agoYou know, you never hear this kind of outrage over black-on-black crime. Zero. Nothing. Why? Because it’s so commonplace that no one cares anymore. Instead of getting riled-up over this ONE case, why not address a legitimate issue? If there were a rash of white-on-black crime in this country, I could understand the outrage. But this? Nah……

Fake news, 1 segment. how telling, the corporate propaganda outlet should not be allowed to lie every day on our public airways. any other station would be fined. the bush mafia thinks they are the rulers of the usa,and can bully everybody else to do what they say. bush,rove,cheney, murdoch,kochs,wall street 6 or so bankers and their thugs should be thrown in jail for trying to take over our country and trying to replace democracy with fasicsm. they and the activist roberts supreme court have been replacing all laws that protect the public,civil laws,workers rights,the environment for the past decade,giving corporations and the rich unlimited power, like dictators. fascism came to the us in full force about 20 yrs ago.

Also, given that there was a restraining order against him citing domestic abuse…Lautenberg amendment anyone?

kyled13 a year agoActually, walking around and looking around can be deemed suspicious behavior, it is called Prowling, also if he was arrested and charged on resisting a police officer, he would be a felon who can’t own a gun legally, and the Stand Your Ground law only pertains to if it happens on your property, wither it be your Yard, House, Car, or Workplace, but not public places in most states. We need to quit being quick to pass judgement, if he is guilty, let the courts decide, we do not know all the facts, and are making judgement based on Trayvon’s side of the story. Also, law enforcement can not detain Zimmerman just off of the evidence they have, they have to build a case on him, they are probably watching him closely for when they have enough evidence to arrest, a judge will not sign a warrant for arrest on the circumstantial evidence they have now. They don’t know for sure if it was Zimmerman’s gun that fired the shot. A lot of the hate now about this case is a Prejudice, because of the two people are different colors, there is murders of young people all the time happening, but unless it is two people involved that are of different races, it rarely gets into the news.

jrplette a year agoThe worst part is that if Martin had been a white kid we’d have 24-hour vigils and rallies held by PTA moms and Trayvon’s Law would already be in the works. Granted if he was a white kid he wouldn’t have been murdered by this racist fuck in the first place. Go figure. There is not a word strong enough in this language to describe how fucking inhuman this Zimmerman bastard is. He’s an animal and he needs to be put the fuck down.

cornflowerblue a year agoFrom everything I have been hearing on the news, Zimmerman is going to be arrested. They’re just trying to decide whether he should be charged with murder and prosecuted by the state or charged with a hate crime and prosecuted by the federal government.

Great Destroyer a year agoThe guy saw some kid in a hoodie walking in the rain at night and called 911 for suspicious behavior. Good Job. Police were responding. Awesome. Guy was told not to follow and not to pursue but did anyway. Oh, not so great. From there it just gets worse. This is obviously not self-defense. Even IF the kid had started a fight he was UNARMED and that definitely would not have warranted lethal force. I’m all for guns, and self defense laws but shit. I don’t know if this is a racial thing but even if it isn’t it’s definitely outright murder. This asshole needs to be arrested.

mikem58 a year agoI don’t see how so many seem shocked about this,or any of the corporate news coverage styles about it. last time I looked the sign said,”Welcome to America,land of the free”. Ya make a wrong turn,old map,maybe some cuban give ya a bum steer when you asked the way? Canada is further north of here.
