Trayvon Martin's parents have suddenly found themselves on the defensive as new reports portray their slain Florida teenage son as the aggressor in a case that has garnered national attention.
The 17-year-old's parents are blaming police for leaking information about their son being suspended from school for marijuana and details about the fight he had with volunteer neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman.
Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, and family attorneys said Monday that it was part of an effort to demonize her son who was shot and killed last month by George Zimmerman, who is half Peruvian. Zimmerman, 28, said he acted in self-defense and he has not been arrested.

Despite the news of Martin's possible actions the night of the shooting [i.e. attacking Zimmerman], rallies demanding the arrest of the 28-year-old Zimmerman spread from Florida to Indiana.
Thousands rallied Monday on the steps of the Georgia state Capitol. The crowd chanted "I am Trayvon!" and "Arrest Zimmerman now!" The protest ended with the crowd linking hands and singing, "We Shall Overcome."
Students from Morehouse College, Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University encouraged their fellow students to talk to their lawmakers about gun laws. Students wore hoodies reading, "I am Trayvon Martin" and lofted signs reading, "Don't shoot!" and "I could be next."
"We're humans, and even more so, we're American citizens, and we have the expectation that justice will be delivered," said Ronnie Mosley, 20, a student at Morehouse who helped organize the rally.

In related news..... Crime reports have significantly decreased in the Zimmerman neighborhood .(news that will never be reported)
Unintentional honesty.
Be thankful, at least it's in English.
Many times one has to refer to PRAVDA to get the truth.
Maybe she can sell the t-shirts to the same people that Obama sold the CHICAGO OLYMPICS shirts to.
100% agree with you and its amazing that some of the freepers go along with this. Seems to me like we got some DU/libtard trolls posting here as Freepers.
yeah, the wife had CNN in on the bedroom this morning.
CNN was going ape over the fact that this information was “LEAKED”...
Solely-a-dud, honey, if the town of Sanford posts the initial police report on its public website...it’s not LEAKED.
Just trying to discredit the facts...as usual...
the same “parents” who didn’t go looking for his body for 3 full days while he lay at the morgue?
His dad reported him missing the next day. The police showed him a pic of Trayvon from the shooting. I don’t know where the 3 day reports came from unless they are regarding how long the coroner held the body.
“Lets hope and pray they don’t engage in the Terminator methodology and just try to terminate every George Zimmerman in the phone book...”
Great point. I had not thought of that...thanks for giving me a new worry...
Thanks.
(double facepalm)

“Same old defense. Didnt do nuffin!”
