Trayvon’s parents ‘disappointed’ in feds’ decision not to charge Zimmerman
Miami Herald ^ | Feb. 25, 2015 | CARLI TEPROFF -

Even though the shooter who gunned down Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin won’t face federal hate crime charges, the teenager’s parents vowed to keep his memory alive Wednesday through the foundation set up in his namesake.

“I will continue to fight for my son, for your son,’’ said Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon’s mother. “We here in the United States are under a crisis when our young people cannot walk the street, cannot play their music, cannot stand in front of stores or go to the store without being threatened, without being followed, chased, pursued, profiled or murdered. I just feel we have to do something.”

I’m disappointed that the DOJ didn’t indict Trayvon’s “parents.”

[Article, quoting Supermom]
“I will continue to fight for my son, for your son,’’ [and blah, blah, blah]

Hey, mom, where were you when Widdle Twayvon was giving that bus driver his beatdown? When he was back in his room with his skittles and his cough medicine, cooking up some "fire-ass lean"? </off black commenter on a discussion board at the time, when an argument erupted about "so what?" about the Skittles>

CBS was persisting, last night, in showing the "Widdle Twayvon" photos again when discussing the Martin shooting and Larval Alien Holder's decision not to break his successor's butt with a labored and transparently b. s. federal hate-crime indictment whose only purpose could have been to "educate" white homeowners on the penury and poverty that awaits them if they defend themselves against another "could have been my son".

“We here in the United States are under a crisis when our young people cannot riot in the street, cannot play the knockout game, cannot steal from stores and Quick Stops or go wilding at the state fair without being threatened, without being followed, chased, pursued, profiled, murdered, or put in prison. I just feel we have to do something.”

I’m sure that Zimmerman is disappointed that he had to go through all the crap he did after being attacked by their son.

“No one regardless of the race, religion or gender should ever have to suffer being victimized because of ignorance, profiling or bigotry,” said Troy Wright, the foundation’s president. And one can assume that the 20 college scholarships are not going to be limited to one racial group and will feature a broad array of people with different heritages? (headline shortened to fit)

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for these types to reciprocate fairness...

Sabrina Fulton is a fraud. But nobody will tell us that.

She didn’t raise Trayvon full time past the age of 2. Yet she struts around, putting on this grieving mother act. It’s all an act. She didn’t even raise her son. Yet she goes around with her ex boyfriend, pretending that they were an intact family, when in fact they were not a couple for many years. Trayvon was raised in ad hoc circumstances. Yet they pull this grieving family crap and the media lapped it all up.

Zimmerman did not “gun down” Martin. He shot him in order to protect himself. We cannot let this loose language go by.

I’m disappointed St. Skittle’s and the Gentle Giant’s parents couldn’t be bothered to raise good sons.

Poor Zimmerman had has his life ruined because of a cheap thug by the name of Trayvon Martin whose parents didn't have time to raise him properly.

Martin got exactly what he deserved. Martins goal was to kill Zimmerman but Zimmerman was prepared for such eventualities as we all should be. The sad part of the story is that Martin didn't have to suffer, his parents didn't have to suffer the only person that suffered was Zimmerman who did his community a wonderful service.

The constant pressure and having to hide was too much for Zimmerman and his relationship. Martin who was a thug wannabe who spent his time playing took 3 years away from Zimmerman and the life he was trying to make something of. It is a shame Martins parents haven't had to suffer but instead have gotten rich and famous. It is a sad society we live in, it is a sad excuse for press we have here.

Thank you Zimmerman for helping to clean up our society by getting rid of the scum.

“Even though the shooter who gunned down Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin ...”

Well, at least the author established his bias early in the article so I didn’t read more than I needed too.
