Police are investigating the “racially motivated” beating of a 27-year-old man who was walking home from midtown bars early Saturday when he said he was jumped by five to eight men who shouted “Trayvon” before the attack.
The exclamation was an apparent reference to Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old from Miami who was shot and killed in February walking back to his father’s girlfriend’s house in Sanford.
His shooter, George Zimmerman, has not been charged.
The case of Martin, an unarmed black teenager who was killed by Zimmerman, a Hispanic crime-watch volunteer, has stirred conversations across the country about race, crime and profiling.
Investigators believe that case was the catalyst for the beating Saturday in Gainesville.
“We do believe that the crime was racially motivated,” Gainesville Police Department spokeswoman Cpl. Angelina Valuri said.
The assailants were black, while the victim is white, Valuri said.
She said the victim had been drinking and could not provide a description of the attackers or their vehicle, only that it was a mid-size vehicle.
But Valuri said his injuries were consistent with being jumped by a group.
During what he told police was a five-minute beating, he sustained injuries to the left eye, abrasions to his palms and a cut on his right kneecap, and Valuri said he would likely have “permanent disfigurement to the left side of his face.”
He was taken to Shands at the University of Florida for treatment.
The attack occurred at about 2:45 a.m. in the 3200 block of Southwest 23rd Terrace.
The victim told police that a vehicle was coming east on Southwest 32nd Place when it stopped at 23rd Terrace.
A group of men got out and told him he was walking too slowly, the victim told police.
They then yelled “Trayvon,” according to a GPD report, and proceeded to beat him.
Obama and Holder’s America. Just think what will happen if he gets re-elected.
Thank God I’m out of the country until December/January at the earliest.
Isn’t the Trayvon part of the Von kitchen utility collection by Ronco? the Forkvon and knifevon are superior improvements to other kitchen utensils you might find at your local supermarket as is the spoonvon and cupvon. And for holding the foods we eat is the dishvon and bowlvon which is all brought to the table on the trayvon. All this for only $19.99!!!! And if you act now we will throw in the potato peelervon *Absolutely free* Call 123-456-7890!!!

It will get very ugly.

Wow! Good for Angelina!
A group of these cowards will eventually jump someone who is packing heat.
Personally, I’m looking at industrial sized canisters of bear repellant.
If that happens, and the MSN gets hold of it, we are going to see a repeat of the late 60s race riots.

Or doesn’t.
If he doesn’t, that period between announcing the winner (you know that unless an R landslide of humongous proportions, the D’s will jam things up) and the transition period leading up to the Inauguration should really be dicy - unless Congress and Senate grow a couple of sets and put him in his place.
You just know he won’t go quietly and probably stir up his base along the way.....
Like Trayvon possibly did, you mean?
And uglier still if comrade Obama is thrown out.
I'm not making excuses for anyone, but we need to remember there will be a blowback from our current judicial system and the WOD which has resulted in the highest incarceration level in the world. Who are these people when they get out—a disenfranchised mob of hopeless people ripe for manipulation by groups like the New Black Panthers. I'm not saying that it's our fault that they broke the law, but we can't just point fingers and not talk openly about the fact that there is a huge sector of the society that has no access to a decent life in any form. Unfortunately, keeping them on foodstamps and unemployment seems to be the only answer 0bama has to offer. We have yet to have a decent, non-polarizing conversation about this because of the over-the-top PC strictures which will end up killing our society.
Yes they have no acess from their on self-invented failure and sustaining the victim class in society. I grew up poor and uneducated in my early life. However, I refused to continue on this path and went on to college, retired from two successful careers.
It is not where you come from in life, but where you allow yourself to go.
Yes and some the domesctic terorist that obumo and holder coddle, will be taking a long deserved dirt nap.
Powder..patch..BALL FIRE!
And once the Bosnia/Rwanda episodes start we get martial law and suspension of elections until order is restored.
Then the real control of the populace will start.
I’m wondering if you could modify the loads on ammo such that when you go to full auto it sounds like “Z-I-M-M-E-R-M-A-N”?
David Horowitz’ “Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes” (1999) was ahead of its time.
If those idiot pavement apes want to “Trayvon” people then they’re going to get “Zimmermaned”>
Think what will happen if he is NOT elected
A very sad tribute to a tragedy.
I fear dems are pushing for race riots... In time, black losers will go back to beating up each other... for now they’re juiced about the Tryvon myth - and jealous of Hispanic success...
This is the only way your Bozo -resident can ever be reelected, or give him cause to declare martial law and appoint himself as leader of the USA for life.
that’s the second official one, I’m sure we’ll see many more.
Just gotta love this “post racial” presidency /megaS
BTW since this has happened I now carry a gun wherever I go. I would advise other non blacks to do the same or risk being attacked on behalf of trayvon’s racial jihadists as well.
