Who Is This Guy?

It has come to my attention that this was NOT a picture of Travon Martin but of a rapper who goes by The Game. This being the case I removed the picture and the article.

  1. As soon as Trayvon's supporters heard that a man named Zimmerman killed him, that's all they needed to know. In their minds a racist white man just killed Trayvon and the media spin began immediately with even the POTUS saying his son would look just like Trayvon. I guess that means O's son would have a gold grill, blowing pot smoke out of his mouth and carrying a gun. Wait a minute, didn't Obama say he used to smoke pot and do a little blow?

  2. "I am not trying to say this was a good shooting."

    But the author is trying to say we need to counter the friendly propaganda with negative propaganda and still take a biased view. We can't feel sorry for a kid who got gunned down because he was likely a thug and Zimmerman rightfully should have followed him and confronted him. Even if the kid IS a thug douchebag, it's not relevant. Zimmerman's recent past is not so flattering to him and it's also not really relevant. If Zimmerman is a racist douchebag, that may explain some motivation, but the real issue to me is that he followed the kid and a deadly confrontation ensued.

    From what we have seen so far, the kid didn't do anything to Zimmerman. When Zimmerman called the police and told the dispatcher he was going to follow him, the dispatcher said, "We don't need you to do that". He wasn't ordered to not follow the kid, but he wasn't encouraged to either. Sometime after that, some kind of scuffle ensued and Trayvon was shot to death. Figuring out what happened in that scuffle is all I really care about.

  3. Sorry guys, I just found out that this is NOT a picture of Travon but a rapper called The Game. I am acknowledging this before I remove it.

  4. Regardless of what picture that us used to portray Travon, he was still a thug and received a thugs death. The fact of the matter is that Zimmerman should not even be on trial. We all have a right to protect ourselves, family, and property. Not worth killing for you say, I agree so to all those would be thieves - think about it...

    1. Angie,

      A bit harsh, yes? I don't know the truth of what happened any more than you, but even if the defendant is found not guilty, you're referring to the death of a child. 17 or 18, to be sure, but still no more than a young boy.

    5. Angie,

      Rather harsh, yes? Even if the boy was a thug, as you suggest, he was more or less a child of 17 or 18.

    6. So good you aren't rushing to judgement. What a joke. Everybody who scares you deserves to die. Typical.

    7. I catch someone in my home - they are dead! I go out to investigate a noise and come across some trying to break into my home or steal my property and they come after me - they are dead! We have a right to protect ourselves, family, and property.

      Zimmerman is innocent and should not be on trial. Travon aka worm food got what he deserved. He was heading for a life of crime and was taken out before he hurt an INNOCENT person.

      What is it about you Max that identifies with thugs and thieves - it must be the left in you....

    8. Well, since you opened the door on an ignorant left and right discussion, your second para is the epitome of racist idiots from the right and it is people like you who ultimately go silent like the Germans did when they rounded up the Jews and slaughtered them. Nothing in the details released so far in any way links your first para to this situation. But, no matter, to you. Trayvon is a shit bag and it's okay he was gunned down before he committed any real crime. I shouldn't be surprised or chilled by that given you typical posts, but I am.

    9. Actually Max, bashing someone's head in to the concrete is a crime with or without a bag of skittles in your pocket. So is smoking dope. So is truancy. Not to mention alleged fights.

  6. Oh how about that star witness? Another fine product of our liberal controlled, unionized school system. She can't read a note written in cursive and might not be able to read at all. Yet she graduated from High School and was thinking of going to college. She will probably make a fine physician's assistant under ObamaCare. Her story is constantly changing. Here TWEETS about her underaged drinking and pot smoking is also damaging. Now she says "cracker" is not a racist word. yada yada yada
