Which is it?
You can google Trayvon Williams and Trayvon Martin.
You get the same story.
Slightly embarrassing moment for former Obama adviser Van Jones.
In an interview with allhiphop.com, the former Green Energy Czar tried to reference the Trayvon Martin shooting to condemn “stand your ground” laws. The only problem is, he botched Martin’s name.
Jones: “This group called ALEC* is down the butter. This awful group that has been passing these evil laws that take the vote away from black people, that attack immigrants and the whole Trayvon Williams thing, the stand your ground, kill at will law, all that came from the same group…”
[Interrupting] Interviewer: “The murder?”
Jones: “Yea, Trayvon.”
Interviewer: “Martin.”
Jones then attempted to recover from the sensitive misstep by cracking an equally awkward joke.
Jones: (Laughing) “Two! They killed two Trayvons!”

Could be.
But there are more than one link.
I know it as Martin too.
I never saw it as Williams until it was brought to my attention.

It just goes to show that the fanatics don't really care about Trayvon. They can't even get his name right. Thats pretty sad.
Nice recovery Van jones...idiot.
Oh and some people on ATS were calling him Williams as well. Maybe Van Jones's minions?edit on 20-4-2012 by thehoneycomb because: (no reason given)
