Parents of the kid are angered that background information on the reasoning why he was suspended from school and other inconvienient factoids are leaking out. Imagine that..

Just wait for it folks, be cool, and reamain a spectator. Dont convict the guy, and certainly dont cannonize him... Basically, treat his siutaiton as you would like to be treated if the "Shoe were on the other foot"

Just be cool the truth will come out.....

With a single punch, Trayvon Martin decked the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who eventually shot and killed the unarmed 17-year-old, then Trayvon climbed on top of George Zimmerman and slammed his head into the sidewalk several times, leaving him bloody and battered, authorities have revealed to the Orlando Sentinel.

That is the account Zimmerman gave police, and much of it has been corroborated by witnesses, authorities say.

The picture with the kid flipping the bird may not be the actual Trayvon from the Zimmerman Case.

George Zimmerman - Florida Unarmed Teen Shooting

Looks like its turning into a pretty clear cut case of self-defense... Still waiting, but every day that passes brings more info to light that paints the exact opposite scenario as the one being pushed by the anti-gun media. What are the chances of THAT?

Wait just a minute, are you trying to imply that the media would hide something from us? Perish the thought!

On another note, has any more been heard about that militia group that was going to travel to Florida to arrest him?

Trayvon's mom is attempting to trademark phrases including his name. The primary reason for doing this is typically monetary gain. THAT is cold.

Well, the facts that support what has happened seem to be interfering with Sharpton's plans for rallys everywhere. Blacks are arrested summarily, so, arrest Zimmerman too. Some days it hard to be a Democrat.... :lol:

No matter what is found to be the truth, one side or the other will say it's a lie. Either side will attempt to make money from it, gain power from it, use it to their advantage. This country is becoming more and more pathetic.. We're petty, thin skinned, self serving and refuse to take ownership to any problem we create . It's tough now days to say you're proud to be an American. Good bye
