In testimony, investigators said that Trayvon had nude images of underage girls on his cell. That’s called child pornography if I was alive and it was found on my cell. Also on his cell was pics of jewelry.
In 2011 he was caught with stolen jewelry in his school locker along with burglary tools and he was thrown out of school.
How did he afford that gangster ‘grill’ for his teeth.
It sounds as if Trayvon was a crime wave coming into his own. Before Zimmy ended it.

RE: “In the old days before the FBI infiltrated it in the 1960s, the Ku Klux Klan would have lynched Zimmerman for being both Hispanic and Catholic.”

Excellent observation John. This may be apochryful, but makes the point: When an underling told Hitler one of his top guys was Jewish, Hitler, who liked the guy, responded, “I’ll decide who is Jewish.” Tyrannical thugs are entirely arbitrary. It goes with the territory of being tyrannical.

At your service in Christ…

“say hi to orange for me, I heard she was a ghost when you got served”

Very cryptic Rex. What could it mean? Inquiring minds need to know.

The Florida prosecutors clearly screwed the pooch on this one.

What Abcarian and so many others don’t acknowledge is that the prosecution never even came close to proving its case against Zimmerman. In fact, as even such liberals as Geraldo Rivera and Alan Dershowitz have pointed out, the case always was so weak it never should have been brought to trial.
It was never a 2nd degree murder case, but it could have easily been a conviction on manslaughter, that is a no brainer IMO. The FL prosecution team makes Marcia Clark and Chris Darden look like Gerry Spence and David Boies….

One of my Facebook friends wrote that his grandfather, at 17, was storming the beaches as a U.S. Marine at Okinawa. Col. David Hackworth, the most decorated American soldier at the time of his death in 2005, at 14 lied about his age in 1945, and fought in the U.S. Army in the last days of World War II in Northern Italy.
Now this is a true hero, never heard anything like it….awesome.

The exact text (except for sanitizing) of a FB message I sent to a friend last night:
————

being driven ballistic……LOL

It’s the characterization of Trayvon as a “child” and a “teen”

F***** was 17. He was 6 feet tall.

Do you have any idea how much serious s*** 17 year olds get involved in?

This is not by any means to suggest he “deserved” it, or that Zimmerman wasn’t partly to blame. But get a grip! Most serious crime (and by that I mean murder, assault, robbery, etc.) is overwhelmingly done by young men from about 15 to 30. I mean if you locked up every 15 year old male, of every color, and let them out again at 30 the crime rate would drop to just about zero.

Unbelievable this BS the media passes off.

Obviously, as JS writes, there are far more useful and productive ways to channel young male aggression besides just “locking them up”…..LOL. But I think my point is clear.
