(28,944 posts)"This was for Trayvon". Clearly there is no excuse for anyone beating someone up and the people who did this need to be punished big time, but if there were racial tensions here that go way back, this has ZERO to do with Trayvon Martin and a lot to do with the two sides going back and forth for a long period of time and whatever was said that escalated things. It's very possible someone did say "This was for Trayvon" but is that really relevant here if both sides already hated one another? Does it bring anything constructive to the story and is it possible the guys sister was angry at "Black People" since there clearly was some racism on both sides and she clearly has a right to be angry based on what happend to her brother and so she said the one thing she thought would get back at blacks at this moment? Not saying she lied but I do think it's possible.
