Neighborhood watch captain shoots innocent black youth and doesn't even get arrested

[Bump]

This is some ****ED UP SHIT, they aren't sure if the racist neighborhood watch idiot should be arrested? If anything, local gangs might take notice of this and start shooting up that neighborhood or just random white neighborhoods. I could never live in the south, it's ridiculous. The guy shoots an innocent teen walking to the store to buy skittles. Should be life in prison, that's cold blood man.

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - The family of a 17-year-old African-American boy shot to death last month in his gated Florida community by a white Neighborhood Watch captain wants to see the captain arrested, the family's lawyer said on Wednesday.

Trayvon Martin was shot dead after he took a break from watching NBA All-Star game television coverage to walk 10 minutes to a convenience store to buy snacks including Skittles candy requested by his 13-year-old brother, Chad, the family's lawyer Ben Crump said.

"He was a good kid," Crump said in an interview, adding that the family would issue a call for the Watch captain's arrest at a news conference on Thursday. "On his way home, a Neighborhood Watch loose cannon shot and killed him."

Trayvon, who lived in Miami with his mother, had been visiting his father and stepmother in a gated townhome community called The Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, 20 miles north of Orlando.

As Trayvon returned to the townhome, Sanford police received a 911 call reporting a suspicious person.

Although names are blacked out on the police report, Crump and media reports at the time of the shooting identified the caller as George Zimmerman who is listed in the community's newsletter as the Neighborhood Watch captain.

Without waiting for police to arrive, Crump said, Zimmerman confronted Trayvon, who was on the sidewalk near his home. By the time police got there, Trayvon was dead of a single gunshot to the chest.

"What do the police find in his pocket? Skittles," Crump said. "A can of Arizona ice tea in his jacket pocket and Skittles in his front pocket for his brother Chad."

Zimmerman could not be reached for comment on Wednesday evening at a phone number listed for him on the community's newsletter.

Crump said the family was concerned that police might decide to consider the shooting as self defense, and that police have ignored the family's request for a copy of the original 911 call, which they think will shed light on the incidents.

"If the 911 protocol across the country held to form here, they told him not to get involved. He disobeyed that order," said Ryan Julison, a spokesman for the family.

"He (Zimmerman) didn't have to get out of his car," said Crump, who has prepared a public records lawsuit to file on Thursday if the family doesn't get the 911 tape. "If he never gets out of his car, there is no reason for self-defense. Trayvon only has skittles. He has the gun."

Since Trayvon, a high school junior who wanted to be a pilot, was black and Zimmerman is white, Crump said race is "the 600 pound elephant in the room."

"Why is this kid suspicious in the first place? I think a stereotype must have been placed on the kid," Crump said.

What is it exactly that you disagree with that I have said? Do you think the media has been completely fair to Zimmerman? Do you think second degree murder will stick? What is your point other than you are an obnoxious no life troll? Your one liners and constant drivel make it impossible to know what you are even attempting to say.....

I mean, the only thing you keep babbling is TM is dead.....so what? Just because someone is dead, does that mean a crime MUST have occurred to the deceased?

Do you not think GZ is entitled to a defense?

What is it you keep trying to say...because you seem to have zero input other trolling.

That's what I thought....it isn't really my wisdom that crushed you....I don't even pretend to have all of the answers here....you really just crushed yourself....

Sort of like autoerotic asphyxiation, but less orgasm & more stupidity...

I didn't even have to try.

For the record, I have been on these forums for over 2 years, and I disagree with you. Most people here joke around....the difference is youre not joking....youre dead serious, angry, butthurt over this issue. You seem to have something personal against GZ and claim he is a nutjob etc...with no proof.

Check out any thread on Jerry Sandusky. Or Joe Pa. Check out any thread on ***** and "gum gate." That is not joking around. That is legit hatred for a man who has not been on trial yet based on a shower they did not see. I would hope not. Check out any thread that talks about any crime allegation. Seriously. This is the dumbest accusation I've seen anyone make here. People here hold strong opinions. They're serious too. Get over it.

Why do I think GZ's a nutjob? Because he has now been involved in 3 incidents that required police intervention. Because he's called 911 46 times in less than 10 years. Because he was taking pills for anxiety and insomina. FACTS. On myspace, he rejoices about getting off a domestic violence charge by referring to the girl as an "ex hoe" and mexicans as a bunch of thugs. Also a fact. These facts aren't going to change during the case. And they're enough to show that the guy had some serious issues.

As for allegations... we have a coworker who claimed Zimmerman was fired for calling HR on pretty much a daily basis. Another who claims he was fired from a security job for throwing a woman across the room. You have a coworker who claimed he was calling him "Ahmed the terrorist" and bullying him at work. You have several residents in Trayvon's community who claimed he was following them all the way home. And there could be more stuff coming--the prosecutor is still holding quite a bit of evidence from the public.

No, I don't like the guy. But don't act like that opinion was based off of nothing. I've done a lot of research. There are undisputed facts, and there are strong allegations, many of which are likely true.

Jesse,Al, and now this. Cashin in!!!


MIAMI — Porn star and former Tiger Woods’ mistress Josyln James will be appearing in a coffee table book dedicated to the honor of slain teenager Trayvon Martin.

According to Miami New Times’ music blog Crossfade, James has already done a photo shoot and interview for the book that will soon be announced.

The performer is the mother of a biracial son who said she feels strongly about the case.

Although she believes justice should take its course, she feels alleged shooter George Zimmerman should “definitely be in prison.”

“It’s really important that we educate people and protect our sons after a tragedy like this and not let it happen again,” James told Crossfade.

“It’s extremely offensive that someone who throws baking soda on Kim Kardashian is in prison and someone who killed someone isn’t,” she said. “That’s disgusting to me.”

in the beginning for me, the hassle was the size of the gun. started out sticking a 38 in my pants. for some maybe that's OK. I want to be comfortable....and that made me uncomfortable. now I carry a Kel Tec P32. it has a metal clip on the side the purpose of which is hang in inside your pants. it's small, light, and despite the stopping power arguments....I have no doubt that in my hands it would be lethal. I could be standing there in underwear and you wouldn't know I'm armed. now, I slip it in the back of my jeans and it's done. it's as if nothing is there. no fuss no muss.

It is standard procedure any time a citizen makes a call like that to tell them they don't NEED to help. But, then they go on and continue to ask questions from the caller. If they truly didnt want the help or wanted the citizen to not help, they would say 'sir STOP now' and then not FACILITATE the citizen helping. I'm sorry you don't get it, I have tried to explain...they just say 'you don't NEED to help' to limit their own liability. Period...they appreciate help, believe me.

oh thank god we have knowus maximus to show us the way...

the man simply knows everything and is always right!!!

he's the most educated man i've ever seen, he is, wait for it...


KNOWUS MAXIMUS!!!!!!!

That is more than enough firepower to handle anything less a fire fight~

That's about how I feel. Zimmerman is the one with the more violent history. I have a hard time believing TM just started beating his ass after being verbally confronted.

Innocent until proven guilty is the rule for the court of law. It has nothing to do the court of public opinion.
