"If I had a son He'd look like Trayvon"

[Docbbc]

Well, this is my first post on the website that I very much enjoy reading.
This Zimmerman/Martin case is a sad, tragic event with no winners and many losers.
Of all the stupid, ridiculous, and regrettable comments made about this tragic event, I remain most offended and disturbed by the comments made by our President in March 2012.
The opportunities of an historic presidency, the first black US President, have been squandered. Aside from his short voting record as a politician (which labeled him as the most liberal US Senator) Mr Obama had an opportunity to unite and solidify our country in a way no previous President could have.
Instead, he has fractured, separated, splintered, targeted, and slandered many citizens in an unprecedented way.

But, we must not lose faith in our country, constitution, and citizenry.
Thank you, the Kahr talk community, for your faith, enthusiasm, perseverance, and support.
Stay strong, keep up the good fight.

well doc you sure know how to make an entrance. You picked one hell of a topic for a first post. Welcome and thank you for your support

Welcome if you like guns and hOt buttons... You're in the right place!



Do you know who this is?

It is "Little" Trayvon Martin...! At 17 yrs of age.


Don't know how much coverage this story has had in your area, but, if it has, here's a new look at it!

For those of us who thought we were well informed and weren't.....quite the realty check.
That old adage applies here: "there are two sides to every story." We don't always get the truth from the media. One of my favorite rants - the liberal controlled media, television news, newspapers, magazines, radio; all continue to show 12 year old Trayvon; NOT 17 year old Trayvon.

They continue to show the 5 year old picture BECAUSE it helps to cement in your mind the cute, little, hoodie-wearing youngster who was stalked by this monster
.
In reality "little Trayvon" at the time of his death stood almost 6'2" tall and weighed 175 muscular pounds. He had numerous run ins with authorities (both at school and local police), had been stopped and almost arrested two days before his death for smacking a bus driver in the face, because the driver refused to let him ride for free. He was released because the driver was told not to press charges by the bus company and to continue on his route.

When "little Trayvon" was suspended at school it was not only because he tried to bring a little marijuana in with him, he was in possession of wedding rings and other jewelry, watches, etc. that he said he "found" along with a large screwdriver while on the way to school that day. The jewelry was turned over to the Police by the school.

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

I am not trying to say this kid deserved to die. I am saying the media in the USA is controlled by liberals who twist and distort what you see and hear in order for you to see things their way.

>Not a single paper has printed RECENT photos of this kid, because it would not keep your interest in this case.

Not a single paper will admit that this kid was a marijuana dealer.
>His friends on Facebook all say he had the "best plants". Not a single paper will show you any of his recent photos where he shows off a mouthful of gold teeth and all of his tattoos.

Not a single newspaper will tell the news like it really is....and NOT how they want you to think it is...

President King Obama looked at the FIVE year old photo the media chose to show the Nation and said, "If I had a son...he would look like Trayvon.." So from that comment should I assume you did not bother to look for the facts in this shooting..or should I assume you want a son who is a 17 year old drug dealing, gold teethed, tattooed thug whose name on one of his facebook profiles was "Wild *****" who 'finds" jewelry and burglary tools on the way to school?

A fair and impartial news media in the USA ? One that does not follow the liberal agenda? One that is NOT looking to further divide this already fractured Nation for either a secret agenda or greedy profits at our expense?

I didn't compose this. I'm only passing it on.

Never trust the news media for anything.

I think 2nd degree murder is going to be hard for the jury to give zimmerman. A manslaughter charge now, I think the jury would find him guilty.

If that picture is Trayvon, then we have really been mislead with the baby face version of him. The media knew there would never be a trial with the above picture.

I hate bad info

[downtownv]

Tinny how about these?

[dkmatthews]

Nice entrance, and WELCOME, Docbbc.

[Tinman507]

Tinny how about these?

Those are legit. I agree, the press has shown this poor wayward waif in an innocent light when the reality is much more thug-like.

[tv_racin_fan]

My understanding is Trayvon was 5'11" not 6'2" but the 175 I believe is correct.

[downtownv]

He's about that..... Deep into the ground.

I think 2nd degree murder is going to be hard for the jury to give zimmerman. A manslaughter charge now, I think the jury would find him guilty.

If the jury finds Zimmerman not guilty of second degree murder they have to find him not guilty of the lesser charge. Both charges carry the same burden of proof which is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If there is reason to doubt that he is not guilty of murder then there is also a reasonable doubt that he is not guilty of manslaughter. If the jury follows the law Zimmerman should be acquitted. The prosecution has not met the burden of proof. Having said that, I would have asked for a trial by a three judge panel. You can't trust that a jury will do what it is supposed to do. Can you say OJ Simpson?

Welcome aboard, Doc. That remark by our president was astounding particularly in view of the fact that they came from a white/negro. Both men are of mixed race.
