"I AM TRAYVON MARTIN," read one sign in the crowd, ~~~
Many wore hooded sweatshirts — commonly called hoodies — because that is what Martin was wearing when he died. And some held bags of Skittles candy and cans of iced tea because that was what the unarmed African-American youth was carrying when he was confronted by the watch leader, George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old son of a white father and Hispanic mother.

Maybe they should also start bashing the heads of some Latinos, because that is what Martin was doing when he died.
What you said!
All this does is take away the “hot mic” story and allows the division to continue....all part of the plan.
“I believe there are a lot of powerful people who are going to do whatever they can to destroy this guy regardless of innocence or guilt.”
No doubt. But, they are not out to destroy the person. He’s just a symbol. In the fight to further their agenda then Zimmerman may be destroyed. But to them Zimmerman the person really doesn’t matter.
In the end guilt or innocence doesn’t matter. It’s one of those “seriousness of the charges” type things. Sick.
They did? I didn’t notice.
Laughed OL. Thanks
That's the beauty part. It's a slow motion train wreck.
The leftists and racists can't stop lionizing and mourning Trayvon, and the facts can't stop convicting him.
how many blacks died this past weekend by blacks?
How many whites and other races died by blacks in the last week?
Why is this wanna be gangster special a month later?
Ah yes because we have high gas prices the country is a mess and this is a way to stoke up the black community and to join the occupy protesters this summer.
This is B/S and every MSM outlet which is showing this thug as a cute 12 year kid on a skiing trip should be e-mailed and told to update that photo to what he looked like at the time and also why cover this when so many others are dying.
If this country ever gets back on track then we need to take control of the local channels and put the truth back lout there instead of this crap which many have to put up with by their local MSM
Silly reporter. It was a sunny day for once. Those numbskulls weren’t protesting anything. Just normal street riff raff walking around. You don’t usually see them because they’re hiding out somewhere to stay out of the constant rain.
Wasn’t there also a 6 year old black girl in Chicago who was killed this weekend by drive-by shooters?
Idiots...
I wonder how many of them receive government checks each month? I know I don’t have time to “MARCH” whenever a race baiter comes to town. I have a job where I am required to W.O.R.K. everyday!
The Skittles and iced tea seems to be a rallying cry...does anyone know where the original report was that said he had Skittles.
I know its trivial...but if that part proves to be made up, it speaks volumes about the entire story.
...I don’t recognize this country anymore. :(
We now have a lot of ways of communicating with one another that weren't available back then.
Be Breitbart.

I am loving it. I hope it keeps up. It is good for America to see what evil lying racists the leftists are.
For mom, it’s all about making money off her son’s death now...

In the first days of this controversy there were numerous FReepers spewing commie poison here on FR over poor little Trayvon.
They aren't so self-righteous and indignant anymore for some reason.
It is a good example of how the media plays the race card for what I think is the purpose of expanding the racial gap in order to push liberal agendas. In the case of the Knoxville murders, the young white couple was not shot during a scuffle. They were kidnapped, raped and brutally tortured before being burned and dismembered.
As is typical of the liberal left most sites including Wikipedia have scrubbed the pictures of the murderers. So, I like to include them when I mention this story.
As far as I am concerned justice was done in the shooting of Tryvon Martin. He was a thug gansta wannabe who brought a fist to a gun fight. He was acting criminal, dressing criminal and his desire for violence is what did him in.
If you don’t want to be treated like a criminal thug then don’t dress and act like one.
And when you start throwing punches you better be man enough to take what the other guy can dish out too.
