Comments on Advance Indiana™: Obama May Rue Saying "Son Would Look Like Trayvon"

One thing that I can say with certainty, everything at this point has very little to do with Martin/Zimmerman. It's more about people jumping on another racial zeitgeist. Having been privy to a racial incident or two that's been extensively covered by the media, they are either woefully ignorant or absolutely complicit in how their coverage sways public opinion.

On a side note, it's interesting how pictures keep depicting a younger and younger person, and how the media has demonized Zimmerman but yet they come under fire for covering Martin's school problems...

You don't know that for sure, Jon. There was a gap between that conversation and the altercation. Zimmerman indicates on the 911 recording that Martin had ran away. According to one version reported, Martin shortly thereafter surprised Zimmerman when he was getting out of his vehicle, words were exchanged between the two and Martin aggressively assaulted Zimmerman. That was when an eyewitness came upon the scene and saw Martin on top of Zimmerman pounding him and Zimmerman screaming for help. That witness ran inside and called 911 and returned to find Martin shot.

Gary,
You ignore the one fact that is abundantly clear.

George Zimmerman caused this whole fiasco by taking it upon himself to follow Trayvon. If he had followed the directive of the 911 dispatcher, Trayvon might still be alive, and Zimmerman would just be the crazy "Gladys Kravitz" guy across the street.

Fact is that Zimmerman became the aggressor when he decided to follow Martin.

The problem is so apparent in the way so many are reacting to his death. Thousands gather on the mall here in downtown Indy to protest his death. How many people gathered to protest the senseless shootings of a half dozen kids on the canal by another teen on St. Patrick's Day weekend? Not one. They don't even want to talk about it.

Anything Zimmerman says should be taken with a grain of salt; he shot and killed a 17 year old kid who may have been casing places for a robbery, at worst. I really think that this is a case of two jerks (I'd use stronger language) escalating a confrontation with each other until one was dead.

Yeah, I would agree with defending yourself if someone comes up and suddenly smashes your head into the sidewalk, if that were how it started. In this case, Zimmerman choose to confront Martin and Zimmerman easily could have just stayed in his car.

And I find myself wondering how American voters who have family members that resemble the accused despised Mr. Zimmerman (or do so themselves) feel about the President publicly announcing his identification with Mr. Martin, based on appearance. Webster Tarplay is reporting that Barack Obama is using the Travon Martin story to get reelected.

Obama will rue nothing. He knows no one, certainly no Republican, will actually engage him on this issue. they'd be labeled racist.

newt summed it up perfectly: obama should be ashamed of what he said. blacks kill blacks on a daily basis, with no outrage from the president.

what is a "white latino", anyway?

Civilians who take the law into their own hands are called vigilantes.
