Nice to see they enforce policies such as not wearing hoods or hats in such a strict manner, but fail to enforce the rules and rights for which this country was founded on.


Hey Congress... suck a fat dick and get your shit together you upitty and stupid mother fuckers.

[Tachosomoza]

He's an old school Panther. He was with Fred Hampton when he was killed, and spent time in jail for carrying a gun into a police station.

TReyvon martins story is just mediahype since its its around election time. I wouldn't doubt it if obama himself payed the news companies to make the story as big as it is to exacerbate racial tensions and make sure ever nigger (a VERY large part of the population, 64% in my city) votes for him and not whitey.

Feb. 26: Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old Florida high school student, is found shot and killed in Sanford, Fla., a community north of Orlando.

Several eyewitnesses report to police that they heard a scuffle, then a cry for help, and then a gunshot.

According to the Sanford police report, George Zimmerman, 28, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, is found armed with a handgun, standing over Martin. He has a bloody nose and a wound in the back of his head.

Martin is unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene. He has no weapons on him, only a pack of Skittles and a bottle of iced tea.

Zimmerman tells police he killed Martin in self defense. Taking him at his word, police do not arrest him, nor administer a drug or alcohol test.

March 9: Trayvon Martin’s family demands that police release the 911 tapes or make an arrest nearly one month after Martin was killed. Police declined to comment at the time, but told ABC News the tapes would be released the following week.

March 13: ABC News uncovers questionable police conduct in the investigation of the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Sanford Police Chief Billy Lee said there is no evidence to dispute George Zimmerman’s assertion that he shot Martin out of self defense.

March 16: Police recordings made the night George Zimmerman allegedly shot and killed Trayvon Martin sent the boy’s mother screaming from the room and prompted his father to declare, “He killed my son,” a family representative tells ABC News.

ABC News affiliate WFTV publishes excerpts from the 911 calls.

One of several petitions for Zimmerman’s arrest has garnered more than 250,000 signatures on a change.org site. At one point signatures were pouring in at the rate of 10,000 an hour, according to the website.

March 18: Trayvon Martin’s family asks U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the FBI to get involved in the investigation of their son’s death.

March 19: A 16-year-old girl tells Benjamin Crump, the Martin family’s attorney, about the last moments of Trayvon Martin’s life. Martin was on the phone with her when George Zimmerman began following him. She recounted that she told Martin to run, then she heard some pushing, then the line went dead.

The U.S. Justice Department announces it has launched an investigation into Martin’s slaying.

ABC News also learns that Zimmerman violated major principles of the Neighborhood Watch manual, which states, “it should be emphasized to members that they do not possess police powers, and they shall not carry weapons or pursue vehicles.”

The State Attorney’s office in Seminole County, Fla., announces that a grand jury will review the evidence of the case on April 10.

March 20: Sanford police department admits to ABC News that investigators missed a possible racist remark by the shooter as he spoke to police dispatchers moments before Trayvon Martin’s killing.

March 21: Sanford city commissioners conduct a vote of “no confidence” against embattled Police Chief Billy Lee at a heated city council meeting. Three of five commissioners vote against the chief.

The city manager now decides whether or not to let Lee go.

Martin’s parents join hundreds of protesters in New York City for the “Million Hoodie March,” demanding justice for the slain 17-year-old.

A single online petition calling for George Zimmerman’s arrest has nearly 900,000 signatures and is now the fastest growing petition in internet history, according to change.org. Tweets from celebrities, such as Justin Bieber and Spike Lee, helped fuel wide interest in the case.

A public relations person for Benjamin Crump, the attorney representing the Martin family, tells ABC News they received 418 media calls in one day.

March 22: Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee announces he will “temporarily” stepping down amid accusations that his department bungled the investigation into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott also announces State Attorney Norman Wolfinger, another key investigator tied to the case, has agreed to withdraw.

Martin’s family meets officials from the U.S. Justice Department.

Thousands rallied in Sanford, Fla., organized by the Reverend Al Sharpton, to demand George Zimmerman’s arrest. Sanford police continue to accept Zimmerman’s claim that the shooting was in self defense.
March 27: ABC News confirms that the night Trayvon Martin was shot, Chris Serino, the lead homicide detective on the case, said he “disbelieved” George Zimmerman’s testimony and recommended in an affidavit that Zimmerman be arrested for manslaughter. But the State Attorney’s office, headed by Norman Wolfinger, instructed him not to press charges because it was deemed there wasn’t enough evidence to lead to a conviction.

ABC News also confirms that Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times.

About 200 to 250 protesters gather in front of the U.S. Justice Department to ask the department to charge George Zimmerman with a federal hate crime.

Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, attend a forum on racial profiling and hate crimes on Capitol Hill. Tracy Martin says he believes his con was racially profiled.

March 28: Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., dons a hoodie in support of Trayvon Martin and is kicked off the House floor for improper dress code.

Rush is a congressman, not a senator.

[cosmic]

Whats even sadder is Rush used to be a leader of the black panthers, And is also a felon.

Would you expect anything else from a childish old man who is raciest and a felon??

[Tachosomoza]

He's not a felon.

Well he was charged and did 6 months for illegal possession of weapons which back at that time according to the federal laws was a felony and was also a felony in Illinois at the time too..

So if he dont have a felony, he sure did suck alot of judge dick to have it cleared.. And even if he did, he is still a felon either way.

Also, says alot of a state to allow a former member of a one of the higher raciest organizations be a rep for their state.. Explains why some of the laws get passed.. I mean he cant even read!

Zing!

[Kwinnie Bogan]

So basically the point he proved was that acting inappropriately will get you the adequate punishment for the situation. Well, it was an ironically appropriate success then, in proving Trayvon acted like a tool and got what he deserved.

What a dumbass.

[Tachosomoza]

A group of staffers on Capitol Hill had a Hoodie Day. What we need is for Obama to wear one.

[Kwinnie Bogan]

If Obama took sides on the issue (not matter WHICH side) I'd be looking to vote for someone else in the next election. That's not appropriate of a President.

[Tachosomoza]

He already has, kinda.

What a dumbass.

Whats even worse is that he is in that position of power because he was voted in. I try not to think about that... but damn.

[Tachosomoza]

I think Rush represents a majority black district.
