The Congressional Black Caucus wants Trayvon Martin's death investigated as potential hate crime

Meh...they say the same thing when a White man wins a Black man at Jeopardy. Move on...

Shooting an unarmed kid to death for no reason is the same as winning a TV game show?

The 17 year old thug attacked Zimmerman, his face was bloody and the back of his head proved that it been been beaten against either the ground or concrete. Zimmerman was defending himself when he blew Martin away.

Well that's the problem the media is not really releasing any details. Have you even heard the 911 tape? You can hear Zimmerman yelling "Help Me, Help Me"! It's obvious that the kid attacked Zimmerman for no reason. It'll teach him not to go around assaulting people with guns.

Eh the whole case sounds fishy, regardless of the race of the people involved

This guy called the police to report a suspicious kid walking down the block, the police told him to stay in his home

but he pursued the kid anyway with a loaded gun (after the police told him to stay away from the kid because they were on their way)

a witness tape played on the news today, a woman called 911 reporting the altercation between the kid and the man and you could hear the kid screaming for help in the background before a single shot was fired.. the one that killed him

the really weird thing is that the police chief said the shooter had a 'sqeauky clean' record and wasn't detained for questioning or anything after shooting and killing a person

usually if someone shoots and kills someone they're taken in for questioning, arrested etc etc but nothing happened at all.. the police just said 'this guy said he didn't do anything wrong so we won't investigate' the end. no investigation, nothing at all

it turns out the man has committed battery assault on an officer in the past but once again the charges were all mysteriously dropped and he never got in trouble for it


it just seems really really strange.. like maybe the guy has connections to be let off the hook?

Forget the color issue.....it muddies the water...

stick with facts...

The guy was neighborhood WATCH....I repeat WATCH....they WATCH and call in the cops....

This guy went after the kid with a gun despite being told not to by the dispatch....

That alone should get the guy locked up....look for a family connection to the police or politicians....

Non black kills black = hate crime
Black killing non black = We were oppressed

Shooting a human being for no reason is murder.

Murder is a death penalty offense in the state of Florida.

A capital murder conviction would make any "hate crime" charge moot.

Castle Doctrine wins again and the scum bag criminals are playing the victim card. His parents should have instilled some morals into that child. If you break the law and threaten the safety of another, then you better be ready to for someone to constitutionally defend themselves against your criminal ass.

It sickens me that some of those in the media are trumping this up as a hate crime.

WTF is going on, the killer is hispanic not white. Media just trying to stir the hate.
