Oh that's right, there is a profit and an agenda to be made. These people are nothing more than opportunists and racists, like they give a damn about Treyvon Martin when they go to sleep at night.
In my eyes these people are pathetic, they turned this young man's death into a mockery regardless of any truth of the matter.edit on 31-3-2012 by RSF77 because: (no reason given)

If you do not cooperate with an authority with a firearm, you might just end up dead. Common sense.

Are you talking about this picture of him giving the finger because this is definitely him. You can even see the tattoo he had on his arm.
Look people believe what ever they choose to in this story. Ive seen so many people throw around false or misleading information its getting kinda silly actually.
Heres the facts Treyvon Martin was walking through the neighborhood wearing a hoodie. George Zimmerman thought he was acting suspicious. Since he was wearing a hoodie and it was raining when he was asked by the 911 operator what color was he? He answered im not sure black i think. This tells you he really wasnt aware of his race when he called the 911 operator. So something else made him suspicious of Treyvon.Trying to make this out as the reason he died is because hes black is stupid. The real point of this is did zimmerman shoot him in self defense. If he did he did then he did the right thing if he didnt he needs to go to jail.
But everyone is changing the story into what they believe quite frankly it doesnt matter what you believe it matters what can be proved. If there is evidence the shooting was not in self defense.He will go to jail but speculating why he did it is pointless.He might have had an irrational hatred of hoodies.He could have hated people who didnt use umbrellas. what are you people doing?????? This is why the legal system should never try to convict someone by what they were thinking but instead what they did.
Now If you truly believe this is a racial thing you might want to reexamine your own beliefs because your making assumptions about Zimmerman having never met him. That in itself is a form of profiling and that makes people hypocrites screaming about profiling yet doing it to someone else.As far as Sharpton and Jackson if they get people killed over this i hope they try them for manslaughter by inciting a riot. good night everyone and for gods sakes think peaceful thoughts and stay safe.

the protests are called for in my opinion, zimmerman should be tried in the death of trayvon martin imo, imo there would be no protests if the SFD hadnt bungled this case from the get go.

No I was referring to the one of a black teen with his pants half down giving two middle fingers.
But even the picture you linked.... are you telling me that defines who this child was? I have a picture of me at 7 years old giving the my sister the finger. So... does that mean I was an "offensive" kid who should have been shot if some over zealous nut job with a gun approached me?
I still would like to know what role Zimmerman's father is playing in all of this. I find it awful convenient that the police find this an open and shut case of "self defense". Just like all the other charges Zimmerman got away with. Assault on a Police Officer twice, domestic abuse, etc. Hell if they are going to classify Martin as a trouble maker for giving the finger, can we classify Zimmerman as a sadistic alcoholic speed freak? I mean he did get a speeding ticket. He did have to enter an alcoholism program.
Zimmerman isn't this happy go lucky guy who was just out protecting his neighborhood. He is a troubled individual who shouldn't have even had a license to carry to begin with.

But let's be honest. Sharpton and Jackson aren't interested in justice. They only want their precious free face time in front of the cameras; that and to play on people's hate to build up their coffers.
Zimmerman should be tried only if there is enough evidence to try him. That is the law. He's already been tried and executed in the court of public opinion by a vast majority of people. Now, it's time for everyone to step back and let the law do its thing.

As for you please dont agree with me it makes me want to reconsider my position. You have also been telling half truths and and some of your posts have been down right vile. Treyvon Martin was an 17 year old kid who died.This in itself is tragic and my prayers go out to the family theres nothing worse then loosing a child. Demonizing him means nothing ultimately it comes down to was this self defense or not. Not how a confused 17 year old is trying to figure out how to be an adult lord knows i made lots of mistakes.

If under stand your ground there is no case against zimmerman he shouldnt be arrested just because people get riled up. However a closer look at stand your ground is in order, such as amending the law in a way that it does not cover people who go against people standing their ground, because the one who stood his ground was Trayvon against the pursuit of Zimmerman.

All I'll say is this:
Having a CCW permit is a big responsibility. It's not an excuse for morons to go around playing cowboy and then hiding behind it when they realize they f*'ed up. They tell you in the class you will be held accountable should you ever exercise your right to use force and you better have a damn good reason. Nobody knows what really happened because, according to the press reports, there were no witnesses; and dead men tell no tales.
The most guilty party I find throughout all of this is the Media and their despicable treatment of this story. But the masses always need some sort of distraction, right?

Hold up...source please? I have not read that at all. Is that the latest account being reported or are you using creative license to fabricate events that haven't been reported?
