A Florida beach safety officer was fired on Friday after he referred to Trayvon Martin as a “thug” on his personal Facebook page.
Todd Snipes, a beach officer of 15 years who was stationed about 40 minutes from where Trayvon Martin was killed in Sanford, Fla., was initially suspended for the post he made on Facebook last month.
“Another thug gone,” Snipes wrote the night of George Zimmerman’s acquittal. “Pull up your pants and be respectful. Bye bye thug r.i.p.”
In his termination letter, Department of Public Protection Director George Recktenwald wrote that Snipes had “engaged in behavior that threatens the respect and trust of the community and jeopardizes the perception that the department enforces the law fairly, even-handedly and without bias,”

As you say...
That painting looks to me like it depicts Martin Luther King being assassinated from behind by Mr. Zimmerman.
BAD TASTE. PURE REVISIONIST HATE PROPAGANDA. Approved by The State.
I hope it is approved by the state, because it is excellent grounds for a mega lawsuit.
Obama’s son was a thug.
Fact is, Martin was a thug who was trying to severely beat or kill a Hispanic man that he felt looked at him wrong, and he died a thug's death with a bullet to the heart.
More and more I'm seeing someone fired for some perceived slight to anything considered sacrosanct by the Left. But if one commits an "offense" against the Right, it is probably never reported, or if so, gleefully by the "news" media. And.... the offender is probably promoted!
The lawyers must be lining up.
Hope he wins big time.
I’m with you on that one. Because , in my opinion the man told the truth. With Martin, the only question was, Who would kill him and would it before Martin killed someone or more than one someone . That he was going to die with his boots on was a given should he continue on the path he was traveling and there was no evidence to suggest that he was changing his ways.
Check Rev. James David Manning’s ATLAH website. He has the goods on St. Skittles and sez that if Zimmerman hadn’t killed Martin someone else would have, because he wsd swaggering around ASKING for it...plus a lot of other info the drive-bys are covering up. And the Rev calls Martin a THUG!
