ALBANY - State Senate Democrats put on hooded sweatshirts to protest the death of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teen allegedly gunned down by neighborhood crime watch captain in Florida.
At an Capitol news conference, Sen. Eric Adams, D-Brooklyn, denounced the killing of Martin, who, he said, carried nothing but "Skittles and god-damned ice tea."
The Senators discussed the case as groups around the country, including members of the NBA's Miami Heat, have put on the sweatshirts or "hoodies" to decry the 17-year-old's killing.
Martin, who was black, was shot on Feb. 26, allegedly by a neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, 32. Martin was wearing a hooded sweatshirt as he walked through a gated community on the way to the home of his father's girlfriend.
Zimmerman, who is white and Latino, has claimed he fired on the unarmed teen in self defense. The killing, and the lack of criminal charges, have caused outrage in Sanford, the Florida community where the death occurred, an protests around the country.

I wonder how many of them will wear something to show how badly they feel for the death of that 6 year old black child in Chicago, and all the other victims of black on black crime.
They sicken me!!

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in this case, one will suffice:

Are they also showing Martin’s adult picture, not the one of him when he was 10-years-old? I thought not.

Some of these senators appear to be well fed. They can barely squeeze into a hoodie.

Ignorant, arrogant racists.
Do they put on a similar clown show for the countless number of whites murdered by black thugs in their OWN state?

If they only kept a low profile no one would know what fools they are.

Slackers all.
To show true support they should beat up any one who asks them a question.
Would do the media good too...
