Trayvon Martin's parents re-live a 'nightmare' (Must read)

...Trayvon was stalked by George Zimmerman, a non-Black neighborhood watch captain armed with a 9 millimeter handgun and a head full of stereotypes about African-American males.

Talk about a hypocrite. I couldn't read any further but I expect the liberal-approved stereotyping just went on and on.

What about the unbeliebable nightmare that befell the Straits?

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Oklahoma just last week?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

Where is the outrage?

If there was ever a perfect example of schlock journalism, this is it.

[driftless2]

"liberal rag"

It's way beyond liberal. It's ultra-leftist. As in Noam Chomsky-type leftism. I distinguish between liberals and leftists. Liberals are like Hollyweird celebs who want people with a lot less money than they do to pay for their stupid scams. But they would never give up their expensive, capitalist life-styles. Leftists want to junk free-market capitalism and go right to Cuba-style socialim. Those are the people at the Cap-Times.

So I thought that Martin laid in the morgue for 3 days before the father found out.

While he found out the next day, it took a while to decide what funeral home to have the body brought to. With divorced parents living in different places, I can understand how coming to a resolution on that might take a bit of time.

He has no tattoos.

Please stop that. I don't know if the tattoos shown are his, but the photos you continue to post prove nothing. The "Sybrina" tattoo in the photograph is on the inside of a wrist. None of your photos show the inside of Martin's wrist.

The large tattoo is on the outer upper shoulder. The only photograph in which the outer upper shoulder is even visible is your top photo - and the outer upper shoulder is covered by a shirt.

Your photos do not prove what you post them to prove, one way or the other. Please stop posting them for that purpose and stating "He has no tattoos" based on those photos.

Closest one is almost 2miles away.

Source? We've had Freepers from the area say there's one about 0.7 miles away. Just wondering.

[VeniVidiVici]

Incident address: 2831 Retreat View Circle Sanford, FL 32771
Closest 7/11: 4085 W. S.R. 46 SANFORD,FL 32771-9721

Plug them into Google maps and tell it you want directions.

Are there closer stores? Yes. Upsala grocery is but it closes early. They are afraid of getting robbed. There is also a Walmart about a mile and a half or so down the road.

However, somehow it was originally reported he went to 7/11. If that’s NOT correct then the whole Skittles BS needs to get tossed or it needs to be found where he went and get the tapes.

[VeniVidiVici]

Oh, and I don’t live there but I drive right by the entrance to this gated community to go the mall or other stores in the area.

[CodeToad]

“and a head full of stereotypes about African-American males. “

What a load of horsesh*t! I stopped reading there. Nothing but a racist hit piece.

[Scoutmaster]

Oh, and I don’t live there but I drive right by the entrance to this gated community to go the mall or other stores in the area.

Thanks. I've heard '7/11' used generically a lot, and many things reported early (like 'he went at halftime of the NBA All-Star game') aren't panning out to be true. Are there any other convenience stores that are closer than the 7/11? I don't know if Starvin' Marvin from the Panhandle make it down that way, or other brands - or simply a generic convenience store.

Not disputing you, just curious given that you're narrowing it down to a specific brand of convenience store based on reports, and we've seen that the details in early reports were frequently trash.

[VeniVidiVici]

Nope. No Starvin’ Marvin.

I seem to be the only one that seems to think it’s important to nail down his whereabouts prior to his death. It’s entirely possible that 7-11 was used as a generic term as a destination to buy Skittles and a tea. I’ve mentioned from early-on about the Upsala Grocery which is a closer store but likely closed at that time of day. Then someone else brought up a nearby Walmart. But even that would be a 3mile round trip.

The point is somebody put the story out there that Trayvon was simply out to buy some candy. Another BS line to go with the 5 year old pics that he was an innocent child, murdered by wild Hispanic.

I’ve thought from the beginning he was out to buy drugs and Zimmerman’s description of Trayvon’s actions supports that. Which is why it is very strange that nobody is concentrating on collecting evidence to contradict it - such as the bag of Skittles, the iced tea or surveillance tapes from the few stores in easy walking distance.

[Eagles6]

What was said was that he didn’t know where tray on was for 3 days. Obviously not true . So this supposedly happened 30 yds from his house. Odd.

I've seen reports of the amount of money in Martin's pocket and the fact that he had an Arizona Iced Tea and Skittles, but I haven't seen the original source document. The 911 tapes on the Sanford website specifically state that they are in no particular order, although #1 is a call by Zimmerman. #3 is chilling. For approximately 42 seconds, you hear somebody screaming 'help, help, help' before the gunshot (the voice sounds suspiciously like Zimmerman's voice from call #1).

This means that the woman caller heard the cries for help, made a decision to call 911, got the phone, called 911, got an answer (I don't know if calls are quickly answered there), and got a 911 operator before the 40-42 seconds we hear of 'help, help, help,' which is presumably the beating/altercation. That's a long time of yelling for help before the gunshot.

Don’t bring Skittles to a gun fight

post 91 is stereotyping. Just sayin’.

I watched George Zimmerman’s brother on PIers Morgan last night. His brother said something to the effect that George LIED LESS than he (the brother did). So, apparently, George’s brothers says they both lie??????? It all goes back to who your daddy is and who your daddy knows and daddy knew the PD AND the SA Office.

[TheBattman]

You can say that again...oh wait.. you did.

But in all seriousness - is that not the exact stereotype image that Geraldo Rivera was trying to push?

I’m surprised there hasn’t been any comment about Treyvon’s pants... were they baggy “on the ground” like the thug “fashion”?

Was the hoodie part of a bigger “fashion ensemble”?

Of course, none of that is important if the Media and the rabid LEFT are actually correct - and Treyvon didn’t do anything wrong that evening.

But the problem is - those with a loud voice don’t care about facts, they don’t care about behavior or appearance - they just want to crucify Zimmerman without a trial.

I thought lynchmob “justice” was against the law...

[floriduh voter]

Oh, come on. I'm not a new black panther. They only found 9 new members. lol The hoodies are pulled from Cafe Press and cooler heads are prevailing.

I wear lots of "street" clothes myself. Floridians wear hoodies a lot because a real coat is not necessary and hoodies are "very Florida fashion item.

Stereotyping by clothes is as ridiculous as it gets.

You are insulting Governor Rick Scott's appointee who is investigating this hot mess. Are you saying she is part of a lynch mob? I see a lot of taking out of context going on.

I'm waiting for the DA and the Grand Jury. I just did a music video and I made some "street" poses at the end. It doesn't look suspicious. I look kewt. I have baggy pants too - lots of fashion starts in the street and trickles up. If you are making this about clothes, forget it.

Hoodies are more popular in Florida than ORANGES.
