Are there any Trayvon Martin experts? Huueueueueuuuuge long rant put to me today...

If you care to take a gander at it: (I told him all the evidence wasn't in yet, but this is a family member, so it's gonna highlight the holiday for sure. I could use some ammo)

WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE THE LIBERALS? WHERE ARE THE CONSERVATIVES? WHERE ARE THE WHITES? THE BLACKS? ASIANS? WHERE ARE YOU? PEOPLE WHO JUMPED ON THE BAND WAGON OF RACISM? WHERE ARE THE SCHOLARS? WHERE ARE THE TRUE RACISTS OF THE WORLD. Those who screamed that George Zimmerman was a racist killer? That he killed a person based on race? Where are you now? Why are you not on this social media screaming for justice? Why are you not sanding up for the rights of people. Racism works both way my friends. Why am I the only person I have seen who will post about this. I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING THIS TRIAL!!!!!!!!!! So far the only proven racist persons in this case is Travon Martin, his mother, father, attorneys and ABC news!! His own words spoke of his hatred " creepy CRACKER"!! I am sure you are all sitting there saying oh he was only a child. PLEASE, I have seen younger people than this commit for more violent crimes. The mother and father who used the media to cast hatred on a person but never released Travon's own statements about the CRACKER!! Again the only racist comment anyone has been heard muttering. I am sorry but could his hatred for CRACKERS have been so deep that he had enough and broke and attacked a person who was watching his community. He clearly by the ONLY eyewitness was beating George Zimmerman. Unfortunately, what he was not aware of was that George Zimmerman was armed. I hear some of you saying but he shouldn't have followed him, he was ordered to stop by the 911 Operator!!! You better go back and watch his testimony. The 911 Operator clearly states they are not allowed to give orders only suggestions. Yet still there is no testimony to say that George Zimmerman had disobeyed this suggestion. WOWOWOWOW then there is the testimony of the only eyewitness who observed the fight and of course as you can tell during his testimony gives you a clear picture of the fight going on. But he is reserved and afraid to speak the full truth because he is afraid of you radical thinkers. BUT I SAY this. It is sad that both of these lives have been affected. I blame this on the liberal thinkers. WHY? Because you are so narrow minded in thinking that you scream for concealed carry laws. If this were a state with an open carry policy and Travon would have had the opportunity to know that Zimmerman was armed I am sure he would have puffed up and screamed and yelled at him from afar. SO be the true people you pose to be people for equality and post about how upset you are of this person being prosecuted on racial grounds when this case has been proven by the prosecution already in favor of the defendant.

ass cracker"? Really? So you're defending the man who shot an unarmed teenager for ummmm, walking and criticizing him for calling the man who would fatally shoot him 5 minutes later a cracker. THAT is demonstrating racism? Are you fucking kidding me? How about that creepy ass cracker not go out looking for a fight? How about that evil fucking cracker not get that fight he wanted and kill a kid because of it? That's pretty fucking sick.

Sorry I can't offer any words of wisdom. Facts, logic and common sense don't work...I know because I hear from them too.

My only suggestion is to stick your fingers in your ears and sing "la, la, la"

Good luck, LaydeeBug.

Z had no right to stalk him then confront him and kill him because he instigated the fight and was getting his ass kicked by a kid.

And BTW, tell him Z IS a creepy ass cracker.

10. Wasn't Zman on a 911 call describing T's racial profile and saying "they" are up to no good?

It was some quote like that. So Zimmerman was indeed racial profiling. Isn't racial profiling racist? Would it be okay to justify shooting Zimmerman to death for his racial profiling he engaged in and calling it self defense? Can't Tvon describe the person following him? It was a heated situation, so why would he be on his best manners while on the phone with a friend describing a creepy person following him.

Wouldn't the open carry law work both ways? If Zman knew that Tvon might be armed, would he have left his vehicle to pursue him on foot, which could be taken as a menacing act.

And if it's true that the victim suspects his follower might be armed, wouldn't that be enough reason for him to become more agressive to protect himself? If someone with a gun was following me, I might want to hide and get the jump on him before he shoots me from a distance. That's in Duh territory there.

Basically this rant is saying that Tvon was disrespectful to a creepy man following him so that makes him at fault for his own death. It doesn't work that way.
