Florida university to award degree to Trayvon Martin

That is the stupidest act I have heard of in months.

 

Yes, and the gullible public busy watching fake news have no idea of just how unbalanced and horrific the homicide rates actually are....where we have a very small percentage of the total population( I am talking about young black guys) comitting over half of all violent crimes in America when they are only about 2% of the total population. You will never hear that talked about on the fake news channels in fact even Fox will barely talk about it. Certainly no politician will go there.

Right, but you think its ok for a NW participant to chase a teenager through a housing complex.

 

Can you explain the white on white murders, which accounts for 85% of white deaths.

 

Not trying to split hairs or anything but based on that theory, officer Wilson forced the situation too.

Jesse is out of line btw and is getting bumped.

 

It's because there was a strange man that was following him that was not a cop. Martin was probably scared and went on the offensive when Zimmerman kept chase. The fat thug forced Martin's hand, in my opinion. Like I said, Martin was forced into a defensive position whereas Brown went looking for a white.

 

I think this was a slap in the face to the former future astronaut, Trayvon, and his extraordinary parents. The black community had so much to look up to and emulate with the Martin/Fulton core family and their exemplary family values.........surely the school should have been renamed St. Trayvon University & Astronaut Preparatoty College. Anything short of that is simply not fitting in light of the contributions Trayvon made, not only to his race, but mankind as a whole.......

 

From Wiki: Martin's former football coach said Martin had been one of the best players on their football team

Seems odd that one of a football team's best players couldn't outrun a 'fat thug.' And how was Martin's hand forced when he circled around to attack a guy his girlfriend said he thought was gay?

 

he didn't try to outrun him, he charged at the strange man who was following him.
put yourself in Martin's shoes. When I do, I can see why he did what he did.
I also put myself in Brown's shoes which is why I don't feel sorry for him if he attacked a police officer.
Objectivity is truly a lost art in politics.

 

You will read the same thing on every thread that has anything to do with race on this forum. It's a waste of time to make a comment.

 

if he didn't cause is own death he would have been charged with one a charge of assault

 

It's the left who turned this into a national race event, right down to lightening the skin tone of Martin and calling Zimmerman a white Hispanic. Don't forget, twice the local DA didn't see a case, it took our country's race baiters, including Obama, to get involved before Zman got charged.

 

stand your ground law wasn't relevant in this case it was a simple case of self defense
best you educate your self on the difference
Stand your ground is just that you are allowed to use deadly force even if you have a means of escape
self defense is when you have no means of escape Zimmerman didn't he was pinned on the ground having his head slammed into the concrete

 

we aren't worshipping Zimmerman we are celebrating the fact that self defense laws allow you to defend your self from having your head bashed on concrete

 

Hmmmm . . . I missed where Zimmerman was convicted . . . of . . . anything in regard to the thug in training, Trayvon. Perhaps I blinked.

 

Only Trayvon worshipers seem to STILL be unaware that Stand Your Ground had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the trial. One wonders why they even bother to comment on this subject matter.

 

The obvious question is whether 'honorary' degrees devalue academic degrees. In other words under what circumstances should an honorary degree be given. I think it is entirely possible that one can learn substantially the same through years and years of actual work in the field. Giving Ethel Merman an honorary degree in the performing arts after she has spent her life not only performing but mentoring others, makes sense. Other forms of study/research should be recognized that may have even advanced the study of the discipline although not in a formal education setting is may provide an honorary or posthumous degree with significant meaning. Otherwise I am not much of a fan of any of it based on just on sympathy or sentiment alone.

 

Exactly......from time to time this Zimmerman/trayvon case pops up in one way or another on several boards and every time it does the comments from the supporters of trayvon reveal they do not know the facts of the case, they did not watch the trial and seemingly the only source for their opinions is just their imagination aka the liberal narrative(politics of black victimhood) or something they heard on the fake news.

 

Exactly....the local authorities in Sanford, Fl. did an excellent investigation and found no reason to charge Zimmerman and they released him......then Al Sharpton the well known jew hater.... thinking George Zimmerman was a Jew based on nothing more than his last name pitched a fit...the idea of a jew killing one of his homeys really agitated the fool and thus he used his media contacts and obama to stir up a huge national news controversy which was primarily fueled by a picture of trayvon nbc presented to the nation when trayvon was like l2 yrs old and appeared oh so childish and innocent ...... like that was how he looked the night he was killed.....obviously obama even bought that which prompted his infamous statement of "If I had a son he would look like trayvon"...the problem with that false narrative was that trayvon was going on 18..just a few days short of being an adult and that old picture of him when he was just a innocent l2 yr. old was ancient history....he had grown up into a wanna be thug...and if the picture of him had been up to date as in he how he really looked at the time of his death....thuggish and arrogant...the whole episode most likely would never have become a national news story of a white racist killing a innocent negro boy just walking home from the store....fake news in its essence.

 

It was revealed at trial that Trayvon Martin had already returned home, but then chose to go back and confront Trayvon Martin. He chose to reengage the situation in an illegal manner, when he was in no danger.

 

Exactly....trayvon was living very close by and had more than enough time to get home after he ran away and completely eluded George on that dark and rainy night....the time line of the whole affair backed up by his phone conversations to his girl friend was presented at the trial and that was the most damning evidence of trayvon's actions...it demonstrated conclusively that Trayvon doubled back and ambushed George.

Yet you see posters like the one you responded to who did not watch the trial and are ignorant of the facts of the case.....yet--still want to claim that George chased down trayvon...it never happened...even without the evidence presented at the trial that proves that was not what happened....someone with just a smidgen of common sense should know better.....how was a fat older man gonna chase down a athlete on a dark and rainy night especially when trayvon had a huge head start?...he was practically out of sight when George got out of his truck in response to a question from the dispatcher....'which way did he run'?...George got out to try and see if he could tell which way trayvon was headed when the dispatcher heard the wind in the phone and told George they did not need him to be chasing after Trayvon.

 

Zimmerman was a dbag vigilante wannabe, who bit more off than he could chew, and shot that kid.
Odds are, Martin would just have been a statistic, but we'll never know.

I'm use to nonsense coming from out public universities, so this comes as no shock at all.

 

It's a libby award, they have no real merit just something to make them feel accomplished

 

It was demonstrated that the above is not an accurate assessment of facts.

 

Trayvon Martin Foundation would help Steve N if he took the first step to a cure by admitting his problem.
