About 2,000 march in Seattle to protest Florida teen's killing

"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.

Trayvons mom just applied for trademarks for using her sons name. I read it on MSN home page.

Not sure if those sort deserve the descriptor of "Freepers" - probably frickin' skulker trolls that have yet to meet the zot. One from 2010 all but outed itself on one of the Trayvon threads the other day, hadn't gotten the trigger pulled on it just yet.

Yeah, I’ve been getting trolled by Rooivalk on another Tryvon thread asking questions that have been more than answered but the idiot won’t read what others are posting. He keeps insisting that Zimmerman was the instigator and caused/murdered poor Tryvon all because he got out of his car and followed Tryvon.

These trolls are exposing themselves and nobody is zotting them. They are as bad as the Paulbots on here a few weeks ago. I know of at least 3 Paulbots who are still posting on here and would attack anyone who spoke out against Paul.

One got my account locked for confronting him on stalking me. FR kept his account active but locked mine so I couldn’t post anymore. Go figure. Sometimes I just can’t figure out the moderators on here.

Well in many cases both sides were wearing the hoodie.

One sign read: Where’s my free Skittles!?
Another sign read: Where’s my free hoodie!?
Still another: Where’s my free plant!?

[Leep]

Oh, and one sign read: Believe the hype!

"I wonder if I would be called a thug wearing my skateboard company hoodies at the skatepark,..."

Just out of curiosity, I wonder if the hoodie he was wearing was white like in all the pictures.

When the old man lays on the ground and lets a 6'3”, 160 pound, 17 year old Football Player punch him in the face and break his nose, I will listen to his ignorant rantings.

Until that day comes, he can just STFU...

[Syncro]

Yes, and black on black crime/murders are way above white/black crime/murder.

The gangbangers thin their own numbers pretty effectively.

"Dude....surely you knew what the guy meant."

But of course.

But certainly you didn't ignore your children's poor grammar, just because you knew what they meant.

Words have very specific meanings, for a purpose. Many read this forum as a learning experience. Posters have an unstated obligation to be truthful and accurate.

It is noble to help others raise their level of understanding. It is foolish to lower yourself to the level of the undereducated because it is convenient.

"Many wore hooded sweatshirts — commonly called hoodies — because that is what Martin was wearing when he died.

"Maybe they should also start bashing the heads of some Latinos, because that is what Martin was doing when he died."

Maybe they should suddenly sport holes in thier chests, because thats what Martin had when he died. /major sarc

[The_Freemason]

I want to trademark.....”I am NOT Trayvon”

[KTM rider]

Zombie Apocolypse wannabees wearing grim reaper costumes, protesting for the right to bash heads with impunity

[crosshairs]

In the meantime, the entire “Trayvon as victim” narrative is falling apart.

Well, Seattle is Pacific time. They're a few hours behind Eastern time zone. News must not have gotten there yet.
