According to Newsday, Martin said he would like to see his son's name "in the history books of modern days, taking his place beside Emmett Till."
Martin's son was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who later was acquitted of second-degree murder under Florida's "stand your ground" law.

Emmett Till was unjustly murdered. Trayvon Martin was justly killed in self-defense. End of discussion.
I do sympathize with your loss, however.
Emmett Till was a 14-year-old Chicago lad lynched in Mississippi for flirting with a white woman leaving a store. (Till had been dared to do so by his companions and almost certainly was not flirting in earnest.) The woman’s (white) husband and his half-brother kidnapped Till, took him to a barn, beat him savagely, gouged out an eye, then shot him through the head and dumped his weighted body in the Tallahatchie river.
Trayvon Martin was 17. He was beating George Zimmerman’s head into a concrete walkway when Zimmerman, flat on his back, shot Martin once, fatally.
But Till and Martin were both black, so obviously they are exactly the same. /s
This sentence is a blatant lie. Zimmerman was acquitted on the basis of self-defense. "Stand Your Ground" law was NEVER argued in any fashion as part of the defense.
His son is in NY?
These parents will never admit that they raised a worthless, drug-dealing, violent thug whose death was a net gain for society.
“Still ridin’ that gravy train, I see.............”
Yep. ‘Pretty ballsy for a negro that didn’t even know his son who was living with him was missing for a day or so.
Eventually the letters Dr. will appear before his name and no one will even note the addition.
Your dead son was a thug piece of garbage and you suck as a dad.
He hasn’t suffocated on Mars yet?
Nope. He was a young man beaten and murdered (actually murdered) back in 1955 for flirting with a white woman. Says a lot about Martin’s dad that he’s comparing his son to him.
I just honestly don’t care what they think anymore. If they’re not the criminals themselves, they excuse and enable, if not downright deify the murdering raping savages. Not that it would’ve gotten through his thick head, but I wonder what he’ve had said if a white teen was bashing his head and his ony recourse was his gun.
Well, he’d have said nothing. Incovenient truths, like hate facts (statistics) are just ignored like the wart on the end of their nose.
Not that it explains anything, but I did find it interesting that Till Jr’s father was executed after a court martial for raping at least three Italian women and murdering one while stationed in Europe. Till Jr was already getting into trouble with the law while living in Chicago with his mother, who sent him to relatives in Mississippi in the hope that being away from bad companions would help turn him away from where he was headed, namely, prison. According to some of his friends, he bragged that in Chicago black men hit on white women all the time and noone dared to say anything to them.
Good one!!!!

“pretty soon he’ll be Reverend of some sorts . .” about Trayvon Martin’s father.
The problem has been the focus on irrelevant arguments – some of which are actually unsupported by the evidence.
1. ‘George Zimmerman (GZ) racially profiled Trayvon Martin (TM)’ There is no evidence of this.
2. ‘GZ disobeyed an order by the police’ * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.
3. ‘GZ got out of his car’ Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.
4. ‘GZ followed TM’ Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the RS only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.
5. ‘GZ wasn’t really injured’ * Under Florida’s self-defense laws, one doesn’t have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.
6. ‘TM is dead through no fault of his own’ * If you believe that TM assaulted GZ, then he IS dead as a result of his own actions.
7. ‘GZ could have left’ * Under Florida law, there is not a duty to withdraw rather than use deadly force * TM was straddling GZ so how the latter was supposed to leave the scene is unanswered.
8. ‘GZ was armed and TM wasn’t’ * One’s fists can be considered weapons and can result in severe bodily harm or death. * GZ was legally carrying a weapon * There is no requirement under the law that the same weapon be used by the assailant * A homeowner can kill an intruder whether or not he has been threatened * Those that attack cannot feign surprise if they are met with superior firepower.
9. ‘Stand Your Ground!’ * SYG is NOT at issue in this trial. * The defense is a classic self-defense case.
10. ‘Black men NEVER get to use SYG!’ * Wrong http://tinyurl.com/nboht35
11. ‘GZ is a man and TM was a boy!’ * As if ‘boys’ don’t commit murder, rape, and assault everyday in this country.
