Travyon Martin Shooting Death Prompts Calls for Justice Department Inquiry
MIAMI — Nearly three weeks after an unarmed teenager was killed in a small city north of Orlando, stirring an outcry, a few indisputable facts remain: the teenager, who was black, was carrying nothing but a bag of Skittles, some money and a can of iced tea when he was shot.

Who is going to win tonights Yankees vs Mariners game? (Game 3 of a 3 game series)
Yankees: (90-57) Ivan Nova 15-4 (3.94)
Mariners: (61-87) Jason Vargas 8-13 (4.49)
Yankees Lineup:
1. SS Derek Jeter
2. CF Curtis Granderson
3. 1B Mark Teixeira
4. 2B Robinson Cano
5. RF Nick Swisher
6. DH Jesus Montero
7. LF Andruw Jones
8. C Russell Martin

8. SS Luis Rodriguez
9. CF Trayvon Robinon
So who do you think is going to win? 10 points to whoevers prediction is closets :)
My prediction:
Yankees win 6-1. (Nova pitches a gem and silences the Mariners awful offence. If Burnett and Hughes can give up 2 runs and 1 run respectivly, so can Nova who has done great this year. Granderson and Teixeira will hit Home Runs for the Yankees and they wiill once again hit Jason Vargas well.)
Ivan Nova: 7IP 6H 1R 1ER 2BB 5SO
Jason Vargas: 5.1IP 9H 5R 5ER 2BB 4SO
So what do you guys think?
Answer: Mariners 3
Yankees 1
Just because everyone else is going to predict Yankees I might as well choose Mariners. I have no faith in Jason Vargas but at times he can pitch solid.

why hasnt anything been done about george zimmerman?
i dont get it. he murdered a 17 year old guy in cold blood. and hes free? why? who the hell is this guy? who the hell does he know? is he related to Jeb Bush? Trayvon martin was innocent and was just buying some Skittles & Arizona Iced Tea. how can this a$$hole claim self defense? he was stalking this kid,and caused the kid to question his motives (i too wouldve questioned this f*cktard)and then a confrontation insued,resulting in George shooting an unarmed teenager to DEATH,over nothing! why is George a free man? ill bet if Trayvon was white,that piece of sh*t George Zimmerman,wouldve been crucified! i hope someone shoots that guy,5 or 6 times! i cant believe this crap happened a little over a month ago,and still the victims family are still left only with questions. this was a good kid. he didnt do anything to George.why did george kill him? why hasnt George been formally charged with murder? he even confessed.
Answer: I understand your frustration, I just learned about this case this morning myself. It does make you question the justice system in this country and Zimmerman's motive. Would Zimmerman had followed Trayvon if he were white? Why didn't Zimmerman wait until the police arrived like he was told when he called 911? Why did Zimmerman confront Trayvon? As a grown man confronting a teen why wasn't he able to control the situation so it didn't become physical? Why didn't Zimmerman just take the butt whoopin Trayvon gave him like a man and everyone could have gone home in one piece? If Trayvon had wrestled the gun away from Zimmerman and shot him, would Trayvon still be walking free pending an investigation? Rumor is there were 6 calls to 911 about the altercation so hopefully someone witnessed the whole thing and will come forward with what they saw. As for now we must remain calm and patient and hope that in the end justice will be served.

Is George Zimmerman really White?
First, let me begin by saying the killing of Trayvon martin in Florida literally brings tears to my eyes. I have known far too many youth killed, including killed by police for absolutely no good reason.
However, I looked up the picture of the idiot George Zimmerman and he doesnt appear White to me. I think he looks more Hispanic, perhaps a German American father and a Puerto Rican mother? (Just giving an example). Its possible he is 100% White, but he doesnt look it to me. No, Im not in a state of denial. I know all too well racism exists, but he just doesnt look White to me.
My next question is, was Trayvons race/skin color the only factor? Zimmerman harassed other community members who were White. Clearly, Zimmerman is mentally ill. Would Zimmerman have harassed a White teenager dressed in urban clothing? No doubt he was racist.
ps. please go on to change.org and sign the petition for Trayvon to get justice!
Ok 1st poster. He still looks Hispanic to me.

Can you support the elimination of racism in Sanford, Florida?
With the racially motivated hate crime murder of Trayvon martin in Sanford, a one-man lynching, there need to be some changes made in the Sanford community. Since it is no secret that there are racial tensions in the community that are being acerbated by perpetuating by racism, the following changes need to be made:
1.Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee must be forced to step down from his office and be replaced with a police chief committed to racial fairness.
2.The Sanford Police department needs to be reviewed for prior racial crimes against, harassment of, and suppression in the black community.
3.George Zimmerman needs to be arrested and charged with the crime of first degree murder.
4.Highway 46, west of French Street, and 1st street to the east of French Street need to be renamed Martin Luther King Jr. Street to remind the Sanford community that the blacks are an essential part of its community and need their civil rights protected.
5.A department needs to be created to act as a racial ombudsman for the community of Sanford and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do that for the entire Seminole County.
I am a long time resident of Seminole County. Sanford is the county seat for the county.
Joe, I am not Jewish but of almost entirely Scottish ancestry.
How would I know, there is no indication Zimmerman is a registered Democrat and he is probably not. About 50% of the county voters are registered Republicans. Only 25% are registered Democrats and 25% are independents. Pretending Zimmerman is a Democrat is a dishonest attempt to shift blame onto the victims in this case.
Death by, you dont eliminate racism by creating more racism. Your suggestion is vapid. Please try harder at being a caring person.
just thinking, putting the blame on people who are not white seems to ignore the problem that the main source of racism in America is with ignorant whites. I think it makes more sense to educate whites that they have a responsibility to avoid racism as it is deadly, as this case of Trayvons murder shows.
Answer: I could get behind that.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/03/16/2697604/trayvon-martins-parents-criss.html
theres the link to some of the story if you dont know who he is..
Personally I think he is a stone cold liar and a murderer! I heard the 911 calls ..the one he made pissed me off so bad. In the call he clearly is running behind the CHILD who is not on his property at all and then shots him ..therefore he can not claim self defense because..really what was he defending? He is a piece of shii if you ask me.
O yeah if you have a sensitive heart DO NOT LISTEN to the 911 calls.

If youre a volunteer in your neighborhood watch patrol, do you get a gun and the permission to kill someone?
Im trying to understand this dick from the Trayvon martin case. George Zimmerman volunteered to be a part of the neighborhood watch patrol in a city in Florida, and one night, 17-year old (black male) Trayvon, went to 7-11 to get some candy or something for him and his younger brother. On his way back, Zimmerman saw him, called the police telling them he sees a suspicious young black male. After calling police, Zimmerman took it upon himself to shoot this unarmed kid twice, killing him. Theres 911 call from a neighbor, saying she hears yelling. Its been released and you can hear this kid screaming in pain (probably after the first shot) then you hear another shot, then silence. It is heartbreaking. So my question is.. does this guy even have permission to carry a gun and shoot people?????

A 17 yr-old-boy is shot & killed & his killer isnt arrested. What does this say about our post-racial society?
For those who dont know what Im talking about, Im referring to Trayvon martin. Is America basically saying that a black kids life is so insignificant, that it wont even bother charging the man who killed him?
Phil, everyone is talking about this. Its not my fault youre living under a rock. Heres what happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CcVCoU-elc&feature=channel
Thats bollocks. You dont know he will be charged. The point is, if a black kid even dares to step out of line, he go directly to jail. Did you see 20/20s What Would You Do experiment where they had a group of white kids vandalize a car. Only one person called 911, but when a group of black kids vandalized the car, ten people called the police. While the white kids were vandalizing the car, two people called 911 because black men were asleep in their own vehicle and "looked suspicious"
The only reason you have such a nonchalant response is because you dont care yourself.
Answer: What about the white child who was lit on fire by 3 African Americans just for being white?
What does it say about you that you care about one story and not the other? Perhaps that you're the racist.
Of course he will be charged.

If a person shot another in self defense, arent they supposed to be arrested any ways?
For those of you who dont know, I am referring to the case of Trayvon martin, boy who was shot recently. Google him if you need further information. Does our government let people stay out of jail if they killed another, without having all of the facts (during investigation)?
In this case, an unarmed boy was killed by a gun weilding man. Sounds like probability to me.
Answer: It all depends on how the laws in your state is written, that is the key factor right there . For example, here in N.C. we have what is called the castle doctrine which was revised this past December, is if you shoot someone in self defense and it is found to be justified, by state law, you cannot be charged with a crime nor can you be sued by the person shot if he survives or his family if he doesn't

whats going on in the shooting death of TRAYVON MARTIN?
why has this clear-cut racially motivated murder,been turned over to the states attorney?
why wont the sanford police arrest george? some people have said things like," well that kid
shouldnt have been wearing a hoodie..." im sorry but thats stupid. first of all,i read that it had been raining prior to the incident. so wearing a hoodie makes sense to me. umbrellas are useless,and hoods keep you drier. now,id also like to illustrate something here. for those of you who say,"well he should not have been wearing what he was wearing.."; pardon my french,but
youre idiots. thats exactly what thugs and gang bangers say in open court whenever they try to justify and rationalize their horrible crimes. they always say BS like, "well that N-word should not have been wearing purple,or red or blue in MY neighborhood..." f*ck that! so what,wearing hoodies
in florida is grounds for getting shot on site?
to all the nay-sayers,yes__yes this was racially motivated! and the police are being racially biased. had this sh*t happened over here in California,zimmerman would be awaiting trial for 1st or 2nd degree murder. how this thug (zimmerman) was appointed "Captain" of the neighborhood watch,is in itself an enigma. why would anybody be ok with this a**hole ,who clearly has serious issues,being "Captain" of the neighborhood watch? and whats even more perplexing is how "UNafraid" everyone seems to be about this. i mean,seriously-you guys have a loose cannon,with zero remorse for killing an unarmed teen,roaming your streets,and youre ok with this? i suppose they figure, "well i guess he wont shoot us,because were all white..." i think chris rock said it best; "its alright,cuz its all white ! george belongs in prison. he was told not to exit his vehicle by the dispatcher. he was not in any imminent danger. he did not have a reason to fear for his life. Trayvon was not threatening his safety. Trayvon did not forcibly attempt to car-jack zimmerman. Trayvon was unarmed. none of these constitute the use of deadly force in florida.
claiming self defense here is erroneous. zimmerman got out of his car ,after stalking Trayvon,and confronted him, which of course led to an altercation,resulting in Trayvon being fatally shot by zimmerman. zimmerman had no legal recourse from any legal stand point,to use deadly force.
how the hell is this not murder? please,can somebody with experience in this arena ,shed some light on this subject-please. i want intelligent,non-racist responses. please use empiracal data/evidence [if available]; to back up your response .

Is racism alive and well in America?
As you might have heard Trayvon martin, a 140lb 14 yearold black male was shot while returning home to his fathers home with some Arizona ice tea and skittles (read: unarmed).
He was shot by George Zimmerman (read: Admitted to shooting him) a 28 year-old white man who was patrolling the neighborhood (read: neighborhood watch).
What you might not know, is that Zimmerman still has not been arrested. All this despite the fact Zimmerman was arrested for battery in the past.
Why is the police department letting Zimmerman walk free?
source: "Trayvon martin, an unarmed African-American teenager, was shot and killed in a gated community in Florida late last month by a white neighborhood watch captain, according to police. But the watch captain, George Zimmerman — a 28-year-old college student who has admitted to police that he shot the young man — still walks free. And Martins family is pleading for answers and demanding justice..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01oZP4gCtog
note: Typo, the victim was 17 years old.
@Chuck
There are more details in the source, but basically here is why I feel the shooting was racist.
- White male shoots an unarmed black male for "looking suspicious"
- According to the police, during the 911 call, Zimmerman made reference to Trayvons race before saying "they always get away" and shooting him.
But remember. I dont "care" that the shoot was racist, I care that the system is racist.
The question is WHY HAVENT THE POLICE ARRESTED ZIMMERMAN?
And of course, the follow up would be, If black man with a history of violence had shot an armed white or asian kid returning home with candy, would the police let that shooter walk free?
@thegubmint
Okay, but the issue isnt "white shoots black guy", its that the police department is protecting a cold blooded killer with a history or violence.
Black on white (or white on black) crime isnt a sign of systemic racism, those are just outlyiers.
Answer: Yep, that happen in my county, Seminole County, Florida.
Obviously it is a modern day one person lynching. Zimmerman is a racist murderer.
The sheriff department is racist and refuses to charge Zimmerman with murder or even manslaughter.
A bunch of racist cowards.
