Church Displays Bleeding Trayvon Martin Nativity Scene

Outside the Claremont United Methodist Church is a nativity scene with a bleeding Trayvon Martin. The California Church has turned their nativity scene "into a piece of art that comments on our times" for the last seven years.

John Zachary, the artist, told me the acquittal in July of George Zimmerman, who fatally shot the 17-year-old African-American in 2012, struck him as a worthy subject for Christmas comment.

For one thing, the backdrop to the Christmas story is the slaughter by King Herod of all infants in Bethlehem, a barbarous attempt to kill the Messiah.

Can you imagine the complaints if a small white church had a black Jesus being lynched instead of crucified? It’s art!
But, if they’d think about it, it would be a stronger message than using Trayvon.

Libs still calling St. Trayvon a messiah. Yeah OK. So in other words if I attempted to kill them by bashing their heads into the cement they would take it because attempted murder is holy.

....Zachary described that when looking for pictures of Trayvon “one of the teenager lying dead on the pavement particularly tore at him. ‘What if Jesus was lying there bleeding to death? I was kind of thinking of that,’ Zachary said.”...

Uh, hey zach, tray-boy-eee weren’t in no way similar to Jesus. Not sure how that came to your feeble little brain. Are you “drankin’” something. What didiots.

What make Trayvon more important then all the other dead black men? Chicago had 5 murders on a Thursday, 10 on Friday and if we're lucky 20 on Saturday.

Interesting that the barbaric slaughter of infants by King Herod is mentioned.

I wonder if these liberals are able to detect a similarity between that and the barbaric slaughter of infants in modern times?

The movie “Idiocracy” was a documentary, not a comedy
