This man actually thanks GZ for killing him.
It's scary wrong.
You couldn't be more wrong.. A lot of kids like to talk big and then when it comes down to it they back off (but Trayvon didn't and now he is dead). Sure they will experiment with weed or other drugs, they may get into a scuffle and decide they don't like it after they get beat up a time or two. Trayvon was a thug, a punk and was destined for a life in jail on our tax dollars. There are bad kids out there... but to say our high schools would be filled with corpses is one of the most ignorant statements I have ever heard someone make. If you have kids you have just killed them mentally and they are lying dead in a school somewhere...... I sure hope you don't have kids!
You obviously don't know what a thug is if you think Trayvon was a thug. My suggestion is to stay in white suburbia.
If Trayvon was a thug.............................where was his gun he would have popped George with?
Here is his gun with his finger on the trigger: ionenewsone.files.wordpress.com...
Is that the gun GZ was frightened of? He's more of a tooth fairy than I thought...

This man takes a few very basic facts and shows us just what the story is really about.
No he didn't! Even if everything he said is true, not one word of it is relevant. If you agree with everything he said then you think it's okay for a drunken homeless man to get a bullet in the head for sleeping on a park bench. Well, he was a drunk, a no good man. He had it coming to him. That's just wrong-thinking.
Whatever Trayvon was, it had no relevance to the case.
Victim mentality is the main reason holding blacks and other miniorities back in life. I may not know what its liek to be black, but I do know victim mentality and excuses when I see them..

A better statement is: Any white person who doesn't realize the advantage they've been rewarded due to their culture being the dominant one on this planet, they've wasted their whiteness.
I understand there’s a common fraternity creed here at Morehouse: “Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness.” Well, we’ve got no time for excuses. Not because the bitter legacy of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they have not. Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; we know those are still out there. It’s just that in today’s hyperconnected, hypercompetitive world, with millions of young people from China and India and Brazil — many of whom started with a whole lot less than all of you did — all of them entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything that you have not earned. (Applause.) Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination. And moreover, you have to remember that whatever you’ve gone through, it pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured — and they overcame them. And if they overcame them, you can overcome them, too. (Applause.) - Obama

(I know plenty of people this has happened too)
-Thrown out of school for possessing marijuana.
(I smoked weed during, never got caught but still did it)
-Hung around gang members
(Is it possible his connection was to buy weed you seem to keep mentioning like a demon drug?)
-Cell phone contained a transaction for a fire arm.
(Thats a bad one if provable be on all doubt)
-Cell phone contained pictures of him smoking marijuana.
(Done it)
-Cell phone contained a photo of a pile of jewelry on his bed.
(Some kids do jewelry some kids do xbox games some kids do guitars, unless provable it was stolen its him 'selfying' his Bling)
-He had THC in his system at the time of his death.
(I have it mine NOW)
-His father didn't work and was a poor role model.
(I'd put money on my father was as bad, don't feel bad)
Yep, he was an innocent upstanding young man - I am thankyou, doing well, good job, married, with two kids.

so not only would he be in trouble but his parent that furnished him the fire arm and allowed him access to it
Up until April 2, 2008, it was unlawful to knowingly sell a handgun to a person under 21 years of age in the State of South Carolina. S.C. Code Ann. § 16-23-30 was amended to change the minimum age to 18 years. In Florida, the pertinent law is as follows: 790.17 Furnishing weapons to minors under 18 years of age or persons of unsound mind and furnishing firearms to minors under 18 years of age prohibited. (1) A person who sells, hires, barters, lends, transfers, or gives any minor under 18 years of age any dirk, electric weapon or device, or other weapon, other than an ordinary pocketknife, without permission of the minor's parent or guardian, or sells, hires, barters, lends, transfers, or gives to any person of unsound mind an electric weapon or device or any dangerous weapon, other than an ordinary pocketknife, commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. (2)(a) A person may not knowingly or willfully sell or transfer a firearm to a minor under 18 years of age, except that a person may transfer ownership of a firearm to a minor with permission of the parent or guardian. A person who violates this paragraph commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. (b) The parent or guardian must maintain possession of the firearm except pursuant to s. 790.22.
as a minor unless he was going to a shooting range or other approved event his possession of a firearm would be illegal unless his parents were with and supervising him at the time and even then i am unsure as to that even being legal
Florida Minors under 18 may not possess any firearm without parental permission or authorized supervision. No selling or giving firearms to minors under 18, unless for supervised loans of firearms or for limited lawful activities, such as hunting.
openly threatening or implying to threaten a minister/preacher(not sure what his title is) tends to not go over to well in the usa and threatening some one over their opinion?
No he's just a self-hating black guy who I only WISH I could grace his presence just once!

Obviously. He was another wannabe wanksta what ain't even got the sense to keep his britchees over his arse. The only kind of laurels he deserves is a Darwin Award. My point is that the human race is as a whole is no worse off without him. Not a great contributer to human progress. But because there are so many other dime a dozen douchebags like him in the world the "man" can use it as a rallying cry for other illiterate pants saggin dip#s.
Nothing you state paints Trayvon as a thug.
You forgot to mention that his mother and brother are both college educated and his father is a truck driver, not unemployed.
It isn't about whether Trayvon was an angel or not. At issue is what happened THAT night! This is the part people can't get through their heads. You can be the worst drug dealing, woman beating guy in the world, but if on the night you are murdered you weren't doing anything, then the person who does it has to go to jail.

The fact is, he called 911 and that was what he was told to do, and he didn't listen. Therefore he is responsible for his own actions. Because of HIS actions someone is dead. He could have listened and avoided the whole thing. He took matters into his own hands and for that he should be responsible for a death that could have been avoided.

So basically to summarize the video ----
Trayvon Martin deserved to be killed for acting like a typical 17 year old and having a typical 17 year old mindset.
