A meaningless symbolic gesture that does nothing to bring back the slain teen, provide justice or closure for his family, or prevent the next asshole from committing a similar murder.

2   Shaman   2017 May 5, 3:03pm  

Well by all accounts he was flying high when he attacked Zimmerman.

WTF is this degree going to help him fly to heaven or something, what a fucking joke.

Shouldn't he be getting a high school diploma first?

He did commit a crime recently. He earned an aeronautical degree without earning it.

Sure as hell can't be said about the guy that murdered him.

Including arrests how many run ins with law enforcement do we know Zimmerman has had ? That is including the ones that happened before he killed Martin ? Ten or something like that ? And all the racist dimbulbs still want to say that Trayvon probably deserved to be shot ?

Funny how most of us have managed to live our lives without ever having the police called on us, unless it was to turn down music at a party when we were kids or something like that.

Facts: Martin had been arrested, was currently on a mission to get high, had posed for gun photos on FB, and was headed down a dark path. He also attacked Zimmerman when confronted. Sure, maybe Zimmerman didn't have authority to make Martin submit to questioning or anything else, but Martin could have walked away instead of attacking his pursuer. If you're going to attack someone, you best not be bringing fists to a gun fight. That's basic rules for hood rats. Clearly the kid was also mentally challenged as well as violent, and that's a dangerous combination.

There was a kid at my school when I was a teen. He just was bad news, liked to attack and beat up kids who he didn't like. All the classic signs were there. After graduation I read in the local paper that he'd been arrested in connection with a drug gang for a crime in which he murdered some people and chopped them up with a chainsaw.
If that kid were to have met with an unfortunate mishap when he was 17, the world would be better off.
So don't expect tears from me for your juvenile delinquent Martin. Maybe his death was a tragedy, and maybe it was natural consequences. Either way, we all instinctively know the world didn't lose much.

It's an insult to anyone who actually studied for his science or engineering degree. They should've awarded him a degree in wymeenz studies or black studies or something along these lines.

No, he should get a degree in "criminology" He already had a head start.

Because it was probably true? You want to convict an innocent person?

24   marcus   2017 May 6, 7:38pm  

Strategist says

No, but apparently Zimmerman was willing to murder an innocent person. I guess since he had a gun it made him feel confident getting aggressive with Trayvon. Even if Trayvon did punch the weird stranger that came up on him acting aggressive, so ? What's he supposed to do ? Assume good intentions ? Why didn't Zimmerman assume good intentions.

Which persons behavior warranted the belief of bad intentions ? Tryvon Martin for being black ? Or Zimmerman for coming up on Martin in what was surely an aggressive manner.

No shit. But my argument is based on an objective view of what happened without any assumptions about Martin. We don't need to make assumptions about Zimmerman, there are many accounts of his temper and his reckless behavior. And it's a fact that he was told to not do anything. His inappropriate actions, while carying a gun (ready for action), led to the shooting. For that alone he probably should have been convicted of second degree murder, or some slightly lesser charge, and he should have done time.

Yes. Obviously that's my opinion.

Getting his gun out and pointing it at Martin should have been enough to stop any further fight, and he was on the ground by all accounts. So why did he shoot him ?

I wish you would say this way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way more often.

You're right, witnesses exist, that say they saw a fight occurring. OThers that say there was no fight, just a guy begging for his life.

But no witness exists saying they heard or saw how a fight started.

Guns can easily go off when you are in a struggle, but to claim "apparently Zimmerman was willing to murder an innocent person." is silly. It seems you had already made up your mind about Zimmerman just because Trayvon was a Black kid.

Zimmerman was proven innocent in court, so you just have to accept it.

You are making assumptions of a situation you don't understand.

35   marcus   2017 May 6, 8:38pm

No, it's more about Zimmerman running after him coming up on him in a aggressive manner (with a gun), for no other reason than his being black. That and Zimmerman's history of being an asshole idiot, and speed addict. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one robbing those houses and using his neighborhood watch BS as a cover. There's way more evidence of Zimmerman being a low life than Martin. Martin was just a kid.

36   marcus   2017 May 6, 9:03pm  

Ironman says

See Marcus, this is where we question your ability to teach math and your lack of logic.

The logic of the situation is only that it was not believed by a jury that it had been proven that Zimmerman committed second degree murder, given what the the Florida stand your ground laws allow.

None of this contradicts my opinion in the slightest.

I never deneid Zimmerman's denial that he caused the fight (if there even was one). I'm only arguing that Zimmerman's idiocy and wrong behavior that night caused the death of Martin. It's kind of simple really.

Look back, tell me how I changed my tune. When I say I never denied Zimmerman's denial, I mean that I know Zimmerman denied that he caused the fight.

Trayvon was abandoned by both his parents, which the media did not bother to explore, and was being raised by an Uncle and Aunt.

His own hobag biological mother, who lived only blocks away, had almost nothing to do with him. She gave 3 different answers as to his favorite food. But she had a lot of facebook photos with her tattooed tits half out. Legacy Media never put the dots together or dug at all, going with the straight "Racist attack" nonsense. In actuality in his last year in school, he hardly appeared and when he did he was suspended. With 53 suspensions and absences, he should have been in Truancy Court.
His mom told the media "Well, WHEN he stayed with me, IF he got up for school..." In other words he was not going most of the time.

Also, he should have been arrested for burglary but because the School Resource Officers report to the Miami-Dade Superintendent of Schools and not the Chief of Police, they decided to give Trayvon a suspension, in view of the 12 pieces of female jewelry, male watch, and flat head screwdriver they found in his locker. Exactly what was reported stole near the school weeks earlier.

Why? "Miami Dade Student Problems drop 60%". Yeah, right!

I guess if Zimmerman had tossed him off a high rise building, they would have made Treyvon an astronaut for NASA.
