The late Trayvon Martin’s parents joined President Obama at the White House Thursday to help usher in the President’s initiative to help men of color choose a road to productivity and success.

Tracy and Sybrina’s son was killed two years ago in an altercation with security guard George Zimmerman. A jury found Zimmerman not guilty of murder, which caused nationwide protests from many who felt that the ruling was unjust.

Well, why not. New verb could be applied to the tres-gone incident too. “Dude. He just trayvoned that punk.” i.e. shot to the chest. This could go on and on and.......

Repeatedly smashing a man’s head into the pavement because he saw something he didn’t like was the bad choice that got Trayvon shot in the chest.

Meanwhile, Zimmerman saved law abiding citizens, who are defenseless, from a similar vicious and senseless attack.

Since they attended the event at the request of Obama, I assume they are being reimbursed for their travel expenses. I would love to see the expense report they submitted. I’m guessing the trip is costing us a few hundred thousand bucks.

If Tracy had been his son’s keeper, perhaps he wouldn’t be dead now.

“The felonious assault of Trayvon Martin was stopped by an armed citizen.”

The tirade of felonious assaults by Trayvon Martin was ultimately stopped by an armed victim. He justifiably reaped what he had sown.

When Trayvon admitted to a friend that he had assaulted a bus driver, he became without doubt a public enemy. Interfering with a public transportation safety worker in the performance of his duty is a felony.

Zimmerman did many future victims a huge favor.

Our racist president giving special favors for black youths. What about disadvantaged white youths?

In the Soviet Union (and others) many people were classified as non persons. In Obama world, white youth (maybe all whites) are classified as non persons. I am sure most Freepers know there is a war going on out there, whether it is organized, or just purely random, only one side is fighting it. The bad thing is, I am convinced the government will never allow the other side to join in. Kind of sucks, but that is reality.
