How would Congress amend a state law?

[Sacajaweau]

Apparently mamma and poppa haven’t seen the street fighting videos. How dare they!!

Remember ABC news "accidentally" covering Zimmermans injuries with their logo?

Now that the new zoomed in photos of Zimmermans wounds have been released..it might be a little moire difficult to hide them with a logo:

ABC actual logo use at exact moment of video when Cop examines Zimmermans head. IN no other ABC video is the lod ever located so high on the screen.

Gun violence makes a lot of sense to somebody who is on their back getting an MMA-style beatdown with their head slamming the cement.

[bicyclerepair]

It’s like bizzaro world. I feel like I’m in a nightmare.

[EGPWS]

Fighting back tears, the parents of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin stood beside the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. and relatives of Chicago area murder victims on Saturday to stress the need to end “senseless gun violence.”

Go out and tell people like Trayvon to stay out of the faces of people who have a right to defend themselves against thugs then.

They were incapable of teaching this nonviolence to their son, why should we expect different results from other students?

[Autonomous User]

Got to love how they are riding the gravy train on the back of their dead son from city-to-city one race bating event to another.

All the evidence points toward Trayvon being the aggressor

• It took Trayvon 40 minutes to walk the distance between the 7-11 and the Clubhouse because he paused to roll the blunts, and maybe smoke one.
• Black urban street kids familiar with the kind of lifestyle Trayvon led DO NOT run from “white-Hispanic” dude strangers sitting in pick-up trucks.
• Trayvon thought GZ was security, or a cop, and that’s why he walked over and checked out the car.
• After circling the SUV Trayvon took off running to ditch any contraband either at home, or nearby.
• He probably made it home because he told DeeDee on the phone he was “at his dads house”.
• After he ditched the contraband, he told DeeDee “he was not running” no more and went to confront the guy he saw getting out of his truck.
• Trayvon prepared by putting his loose items in his pockets readying himself for a confrontation if needed.
• Trayvon headed back up the pathway toward the “T” where the sidewalks meet, near witness “John’s” townhouse.
• When he saw Zimmerman he began the conversation by saying “hey man, what the f**k’s your problem, what the f**k you looking at”?
• It went downhill from there.

I was listening to Zimmermans 911 call again last night and it’s right there on the tape; When the dispatcher said “we don’t need you to do that” the heavy breathing and wind in Zimmermans phone stopped. He STOPPED following Traydmark.. And if that isn’t proof enough, he also says “Damn I lost him”then he is told to wait for the cops and the call ends.

That’s all on the FULL non-edited tape of Zimmermans 911 call that maybe Traymarks parents should listen to.

[the invisib1e hand]

are they promoting good parenting while they’re at it?

[chris37]

Dear Ms. Fulton,

Your drug addicted violent thug son is still trying to deprive an innocent law abiding citizen of his rights even after his justified death at the hands of said citizen.

Why don’t you and your offspring knock it off?

I don’t feel sorry for him, and I don’t feel sorry for you.

Go away.

A wrong and dangerous message is being sent here.

Even if Zimmerman profiled and hunted down Trayvon like a dog and executed him, the overwhelming threat against young blacks is not the evil racist white, but other young blacks.

Like my daddy always said, “Never bring Skittles to a gunfight!”

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I hope Zim sues their effin lib ass off.

The unarmed hoodie-clad Martin

And that is where it starts. He wanted look like a hoodlum; a tough guy, a threat, a Menace To Society.

And he got what he wanted. Some guy half his size thought Trayvon was a hoodlum, a tough guy, a threat, a Menace to Society. And so he shot him.

Trayvon probably would have been better off wishing that somebody would give him a pony.

I have a question maybe some here can answer. It has been reported that he was talking to the girl and that she heard the initial words between Martin and Zimmerman. If he was using a ear device for his phone, how did she hear this because when he was looked over after the shooting, the ear device was in his pocket ?

[Cboldt]

-- then he is told to wait for the cops and the call ends. --

He's never told to wait. He was asked if he wanted to meet with the responding officer, and he said he wanted to, so the next point was to arrange a meeting location. That was left up in the air, with a request that the responding officer call Zimmerman on Zimmerman's cellphone.

But I do agree that it appears he broke off looking for Martin. A reasonable person would assume a suspicious person that runs is aiming to elude observation, and that is well accomplished by getting farther away.

[Cboldt]

-- If he was using a ear device for his phone, how did she hear this because when he was looked over after the shooting, the ear device was in his pocket ? --

We don't know, but Martin could have been on the phone without the ear device. Martin's phone was found loose in the grass. He might have pitched it or lost it when or just before he started throwing punches.
