Trayvon Martin shooting: Zimmerman says Trayvon decked him, then began hammering him

[bkeavs]

Forget about the case for a moment. You mentioned that Zimmermans parents had failed him. I happen to agree to an extent but I also believe Trayvons parents did also.

You don't believe a kid who was expelled from school for drugs.
assaulted a bus driver.
vandelizing school property
Had alot of womens jewelry and a screw driver was found in his back pack when he was suspended, and he couldn't give an explaination where it came from.
I know he had a twitter page (@NO_LIMIT_*****) talking about smoking weed, fucking hoe's, etc etc)

As a parent, you would be fine with this. I certainly would not. But thats just me

Yep, how dare they let him out in the evening to be stalked and murdered in a gated community?

It's just trolling until you actually donate to help Zimmerman out. Lets see those Paypal receipts if you're not just trolling away here.

Police are investigating the “racially motivated” beating of a 27-year-old man who was walking home from midtown bars early
Saturday when he said he was jumped by five to eight men who shouted “Trayvon” before the attack.

The exclamation was an apparent reference to Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old from Miami who was shot and killed in February walking back to his father’s girlfriend’s house in Sanford.

His shooter, George Zimmerman, has not been charged.

The case of Martin, an unarmed black teenager who was killed by Zimmerman, a Hispanic crime-watch volunteer, has stirred conversations across the country about race, crime and profiling.

Investigators believe that case was the catalyst for the beating Saturday in Gainesville.

“We do believe that the crime was racially motivated,” Gainesville Police Department spokeswoman Cpl. Angelina Valuri said.

The assailants were black, while the victim is white, Valuri said.

She said the victim had been drinking and could not provide a description of the attackers or their vehicle, only that it was a mid-size vehicle.

But Valuri said his injuries were consistent with being jumped by a group.

During what he told police was a five-minute beating, he sustained injuries to the left eye, abrasions to his palms and a cut on his right kneecap, and Valuri said he would likely have “permanent disfigurement to the left side of his face.”

He was taken to Shands at the University of Florida for treatment.

The attack occurred at about 2:45 a.m. in the 3200 block of Southwest 23rd Terrace.

The victim told police that a vehicle was coming east on Southwest 32nd Place when it stopped at 23rd Terrace.

A group of men got out and told him he was walking too slowly, the victim told police.

They then yelled “Trayvon,” according to a GPD report, and proceeded to beat him

The funniest sounding of all racial slur words.

Well played

Embellishment aimed to demonize Trayvon. Nothing being said on twitter matters, kids lie in attempting to be cool. It is a lot of stupid behavior but none of it is criminal, and what kid did not in some way vandalize school property? He was expelled for the graffiti, not the drugs. The bus driver assault is pure speculation based on more twitter comments. The actions leading to his suspension was an isolated incident and we have no idea what the parents might have been doing at the time to intervene and lead him toward the correct path.

His dad didn't seem all too shocked seeing the cops at his door, until a priest hopped out of one of them.

 

[Midswat]

Cythim... the bus driver assault wasn't "speculation."

And he was suspended for the graffiti. It was a seperate incident altogether from the drug expulsion.

The kid was headed down the wrong path. Obviously.

Show me the assault was not speculation. Everything I've read suggests it is.

 

[Jon88]

Agreed, Zimmerman's parents failed him.

Of course it's the guys fault who defended himself - because the "victim" was black. Liberal douchbag. And board troll.

 

[bkeavs]

So would you consider the fact that Trayvon did nothing wrong in this instance as speculation also

Put your clan hat back in the closet, it will be morons like you that let Zimmerman walk.

The fact that he did nothing wrong is corroborated by Zimmerman's 911 call. If my son was being followed by a stranger at night in the rain I would expect him to do whatever he could to protect himself. Thankfully we have no gun-toting wannabe cops around patrolling my neighborhood, we hire a rent-a-cop with a taser to do it.

Oh so I'm racist because "Trayvon" (as you refer to him - first name basis) jumped on the wrong guy and got shot. Sure thing.

You are a racist because you have proven it over and over again on this forum. You can't help it, it is just your nature. White trash is white trash.

 

[Midswat]

Or.... it'll be a lack of evidence that Zimmerman did nothing wrong that will allow him to walk.

:thumbsup

Being followed does not constitute the right to physically assualt an individual.

Trayvon was on the phone with his girlfriend. I've got an idea, disconnect and call the authorities.

 

[Midswat]

If you listen to the 911 that I posted earlier, the gunshot isn't until the 50 second part of the video.

And the people who called said the reason they were calling was because there was a man outside yelling for help.

Which means, Martin was on top of Zimmerman, beating him for probably close to 2 minutes (assuming the 911 callers called immediately and didn't spend some time rubbernecking outside their window.).

Dismiss 2 minutes as nothing, but count it out in your head. Then imagine you've got a man on top of you, beating you that entire time while your pleas for help go unanswered, and the person assaulting you doesn't let up.

 

[UVAwahoos]

Hmm. Lots of passion here, but no donations to Zimmerman yet?

No, but if the person who is following you reaches into his pocket, it damn sure is.
