Miami Heat superstar Lebron James tweeted out a picture of the entire Heat team wearing hoodies in support of murdered Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
James tweeted out the picture of the entire Heat team with their heads down and black hoodies on along with the hashtags: #WeAreTrayvon Martin #Hoodies #Stereotyped #WeWantJustice.
Martin, a 17-year-old high school student, was shot and killed by George Zimmerman on Feb. 26th while walking home from a convenience store after purchasing a drink and a bag of Skittles. Zimmerman claims that he shot Martin, an African-American, in self-defense, but many news organizations have raised serious doubts about Zimmerman's story.

Bless his Heart
Bless his little race baiting heart for me too!
Nothing but racism there. If it had been a white kid they wouldn’t have bothered.
Thugs of America unite.
OK, serious question here.....I’ve seen a lot about this story the last few days, but I have yet to see Zimmerman’s version of what happened. I know he’s claiming self defense in general, and I’ve seen the 911 calls that lead up to the “confrontation.” But I haven’t seen any story where Zimmerman tells his version of those last few minutes when he is, I suppose, “attacked” or what have you.
Anybody seen this? I realize the police may be sitting on this information until they’ve completed their investigation, but until I see Zimmerman’s version I don’t feel I can really come to any sort of informed opinion....
Did someone think that the first photo looked less "wholesome" and remove it?
This whole thing is turning into one big race baiting festival. It’s sickening.
Blacks kill blacks every day in the poorest areas of every major city... just for wearing the wrong colors or looking their way.
I guess no outrage there.
It is someone is going to get killed and it’s going to be soon, the guy that shot and killed him appears hispanic, which means nothing to sharp ton or Jackson, they’re after money
:: I have yet to see Zimmerman’s version of what happened. ::
Zimmerman’s silence is on advice of counsel, I’d conjecture. His lawyer want the race-baiters to poison the jury pool.
He’ll request and (I suspect receive) a change of venue if/when this gets to trial.
When will Obama call Trayvon’s mom?
I know she doesn’t look like his mom but still , he did call Sandra really fast.
So all those so called independent moderates that voted for Obama because it would do so much to improve race realtions can look at how the Obama administration gins up as much black resentment as possible to keep them on the democrat plantation. Will these voters vote Obama again or will they wise up. Well at least some of them must be thinking that was a stupid vote.
“Did someone think that the first photo looked less “wholesome” and remove it?”
I would think so. They want to create the optics and emblazon in the mind of the viewer a pre adolescent vulnerable child being killed rather than a 6’2” young man who played football on his high school team.That is not to say that he was not victimized by Zimmerman. I do not know all the facts. But the media and those with an agenda like Sharpton and his ilk are all about imagery to further their agenda which has little to do with the facts.
I notice his Twitter handle is @KingJames. Nice to see see such deep humility, from someone who has won so many World Championships (oh wait..)
If Obama wants to go after an innocent Hispanic trying to defend himself, I say let him. That will be Obama’s final mistake before November that will lose him the hispanic vote and the election.
What, they think the kid is Trayvon Martin Luther King now? Martin the Martyr?
Trayvon vom Rath.
