ALLENDALE, MI -- Trayvon Martin had an average American family upbringing in southern Florida. He had his faults, but was no criminal, his mother said.
Still today, Sybrina Fulton tries to reconcile the memories she has of her son with his death by gunfire in a gated community, as he walked to his father's home from a nearby convenience store.
Days before his 2012 death she had been horseback riding with him to celebrate both of their February birthdays.
"What could have been to cause my son to lose his life," Fulton said to thousands gathered at Grand Valley State University's fieldhouse Monday, Jan. 19. "The very thing that caused my son to lose his life was the color of his skin."
News of Trayvon's death spread around the world. The 17-year-old had been on the phone with his girlfriend when he was approached and eventually shot by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman.
Zimmerman suffered injuries that day-- a fractured nose, two black eyes and lacerations on the back of his head. He claimed self-defense in the shooting and was later found not guilty in July 2013 by a Florida jury....

No, it was because your son acted like a thug and got shot because of it.
If he hadn’t acted like a thug, he might still be alive today.

Live like a thug, die like a thug, Sybrina Fulton. Trayvon was a thug.
Which “mother” is she. The one that gave birth, the one that raised him, or the one his father was lving with?
Thank goodness you found out that it was the color of his skin that caused his death.
Otherwise , it might have been the stolen jewelry in his backpack recovered ,unmarked , at school, or
the crank juice he was bringing home, or
the weed that was already in his blood system, or
his assault on a "White-Hispanic" in MMA style , or
the folks that he was running with in the streets , or,
the photos of him holding a gun and lots of money , or
the fact that he wasn't missed for a day by either parent.
Not that she had any hand in raising her son.
If Trevor’s hs had reported his crimes he would have been in juvenile hall the night the guy whose head he was banging on the sidewalk shot him in self-defense
Knowing how corrupt things are in Dade County and who she is, I would say ,yes they are. Just how they are I can't say, but I know where there is a will, there is a way.
To Trayvon’s mom - Bull crap it was.
Keep telling yourself that, lady.
Well, Sabrina...you have black skin, and are much older...how is it that you’re still here?
No criminal except for those drugs they found him with in school. How many times had he gotten suspended from school? After all, the family had a routine for this sort of thing as I understand it.
OMG! You expect facts and logic to interfere with the hopes and dreams this excellent mother had for her rising star of a son? lol
Thug culture killed him.
If your son hadn’t decided to play the Knockout Game on a supposed gay man, he would still be alive.
Dang ..You're right !! ..he was a promising rapp star.
