Academy Award-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson said 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's life was "stolen from him."
Martin was shot to death by George Zimmerman on Feb. 26 in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman says he shot Martin, who was unarmed, in self-defense. Zimmerman is under arrest.
Henson, who has a 17-year-old son herself, said she spoke to Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, over the weekend by phone.
"I cannot think about the mother, Sybrina, and what she could be going through," Henson said Monday on "CBS This Morning." "(Trayvon) should be doing exactly what my son is doing right now, figuring out where he's going to college, waiting for acceptance letters, you know, going on to the next phase of his life. But it was stolen from him."(continued)

Trayvon stole his own life when he decided to jump a neighborhood watch guy.
He got what he deserved.
The magnification of Trayvon into a truly angelic figure continues.
Mr. Zimmerman wasn’t on neighborhood watch duty when he spotted young Mr. Trayvon Martin acting suspiciously and casing homes in that neighborhood. He was on his way to the store.
When you punch me in the face and pound my skull into concrete, expect me to use deadly force to defend myself.
How many lives were “stolen” in Chicago this weekend, and not by “white-Hispanics?”
Nah, Taraji, he pissed it down the drain of black thuggism.
But truth don’t matter, only opportunity, so just go on about your business until the next black thug dies 15 seconds from now.
Who cares.
Should have been doing that on the night in question.
This is incredible, they just will not stop with this. How many teen blacks have been killed by other blacks since this happened? Just more proof thats libs are completely mad hatter insane.
4 dead in Chicago over the weekend.
Does she feel sorry for these mothers too?
Or is this more about who did the shooting?
Black kids hoping to go to college don’t go around calling themselves “NO-LIMIT-N***A”.
I really wish that these Holly-weird types would just STFU and stick to the lines that are written for them by others. Reading this extemporaneous garbage from Ms. Henson makes me wish that Jim Caviezel will go off script and make her the next “Person of Interest” victim!
Don’t you mean the next dead thug “that was a good boy” and “was turning his life around”?
Ted Bundy was unarmed.

Guess Who?
In December 2010, the son of a local police officer sucker punched a homeless black man outside a bar. The white attacker strutted away from the downed man, obviously proud of his cowardly achievement. Police arrived at the scene and declined to arrest him, despite the fact the unprovoked attack was captured on video.
Over the course of the next several weeks, the community expressed outrage but few stepped up to do anything to demand justice for the homeless man, Sherman Ware. The black community was indifferent. The NAACP ignored the incident. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were nowhere to be found.
But one man was so determined to obtain justice for Sherman, he did what few others were willing to do. He stepped up and went door-to-door in black communities handing out fliers about the incident. He posted the fliers, put them on cars in parking lots, waited outside churches to give them to parishioners. He worked tirelessly exposing this injustice.
In January, his efforts finally paid off. In part, thanks to public pressure after the video was posted on Youtube, Justin Collison, a man with a violent history, was charged with sucker punching Sherman Ware.
In case you haven?t guessed, the man who worked so hard to bring justice for a homeless black man when the NAACP and other civil rights leaders looked the other way is named below the fold.
The man was George Zimmerman.
These noble efforts by Zimmerman to help a stranger get deserved justice were related by a family member who is now in hiding due to death threats. The family member sent this letter to the Sanford Chapter of the NAACP, which has continued to perpetuate the smear that George Zimmerman is a racist who killed Trayvon Martin for being black.
Thanks for posting that.
His life was stolen by his...whats the term....oh yeah...his “sh*bag parents”.
The more I hear about this case the more hardened against the poor lil chile I become.
What disgusting theater.
> “the next phase of his life. But it was stolen from him.”
It wasn’t stolen from him. He chose to engage in dangerous and risky activities. And he paid the price for his choices and actions.
It is incredibility sad for every mother who loses her son to the Black thug culture. That is A LOT of heartbreak imposed on our Nation.
It would be nice if these race pimps would put the kabosh on the tuffy-thug cultural mentality and act in life that is slaughtering young people. Feeding greed, envy, anger, rage and hate is deadly. The Black lady being interviewed plays the part of an edgy female race bully on tee vee.
When they watched all those Black people acting like animals as they fought for shoes and store sales, what did they think about that self destructive insanity? We must have missed it. They supposedly hate the greed of capitalism. But really, they just hate for a living.
