Trayvon Martin

[Star_Cards]

he is resting in peace, us discussing it has no relevence to someone who is dead, in fact we are honoring his life by talking about him after he is gone. no one has blamed him, but i have said lets not blame ANYONE until we know the facts, which no one has as of yet.

and i still cannot find any racial slurs, someone please enlighten me. i don't want assumptions, or personal opinions but real facts.

the release of the cellphone records should clarify this

I like and agree with your stance on waiting for more details to come out. I agree that it should have been much better investigated. National outrage or exposure should not be a cause for law enforcement to investigate further.

I personally am curious to know how the two got back together for this to happen. The only part of the story that I know is from the 911 call which left the two separated when trayvon took off running. Either trayvon ran back to zimmerman or zimmerman ran after trayvon. In my opinion everything that happened after that is most important.

I also agree that there aren't a lot of racially charged speak in the 911 call. He did say something like "they always get away" but who knows what he meant by "they". He could have meant blacks, teenagers, thieves, or something else.

The new Black Panther Party offered a bounty of $10,000 Saturday for the “capture” of a Florida neighborhood watch captain who killed unarmed teen Trayvon Martin.

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” leader Mikhail Muhammad said after announcing the reward for George Zimmerman at a protest in Sanford, Fla.

Muhammad called on 5,000 black men to mobilize and capture the neighborhood watch volunteer.

“If the government won’t do the job, we’ll do it,” Muhammad said, leading chants that included “freedom or death” and “justice for Trayvon.”

Muhammad said New Black Panther’s chairman, Malik Zulu Shabaz of Washington, was taking donations from black entertainers and athletes.

After posting wanted dead or alive posters and offering rewards for captures , I think the Justice dept. should put a stop to the Black Panthers , Oh' wait , the justice dept. is connected to the Black Panthers. Guess that wont happen .

wow!! and this is not illegal? publicly offering a bounty to kidnap an american citizen?

some interesting turns to this one.

the screaming on the 2 911 calls are said to be zimmerman and a police witness says it was in self defense.

on one of the local radio stations they played the story as if zimmerman said a few racial names on the 911 calls, and even bleeped out areas to make it sound like he did. i heard the same call and did not hear any of this.

still on the fence, need alot more info to justify a killing of anyone much less a teen.

I definitely don't like the bounty release. It's irresponsible and dangerous.

Haha, okay. Care to explain this little gem?

Probably referring to the reprieve Holder granted the Black Panthers for voter intimidation in 2008.

So Intimidator what do you suggest that we do? Let people go around killing our kids at will? That kind of been your son or your little brother. That could have even been you.

Well it seems that as the story got more media attention, much due to protests and such, that authorities are looking into the case. I feel that that sort of thing is was more effective than putting out a bounty. All a bounty is going to do is create similar situations to the one they are protesting against... private citizens playing vigilante. I get the outrage and the need for further investigation, but publicly calling for a man's head by placing a cash reward on him is pretty similar to hiring a hitman. It's not exactly like that, but close and should be illegal in my opinion.

Yes putting out a bounty may be extreme but it seems like he is mad that we are doing anything at all and thinks that we should just sit back and deal with it. This is an innocent child that was murdered in cold blood by a monster and we should all be outraged.

Outraged or not. You cannot issue a bounty on someone's head in a civilized country. I would be interested in seeing/knowing all the details surrounding this bounty. If it occurred as characterized in the link than it is clearly illegal and authorities should be laying charges.
