A huge new mural called “We Are All Trayvon Martin” was unveiled in the Florida State Capitol. It was created by a Miami artist who is clearly very sympathetic towards Martin. Artist Huong unveiled the creation during a sit-in to protest Florida’s so-called “stand your ground” law. (Stand your ground had absolutely nothing to do with this case. Effin' idiot). Poster Comment: Alternate title: George Zimmerman now set for another defamation suit against an alleged "artist" who has to know better. At least if she had paid any attention at all to the trial she would have. The man was found NOT GUILTY and for good reason. He was attacked and defended himself. Case closed. George Zimmerman should sue the "artist" as well as whoever approved putting this pos in the Capitol Building. I hope he sues their asses and breaks them from doing stuff like this. Titled, “We Are All Trayvon Martin,” the painting shows Zimmerman firing a gun at a hoodie-wearing figure. The painting features a mirror to signify that the shooting could have happened to anyone. There is also an image of Martin Luther King Jr. with blood trickling down his head.

All these people wanting "Justice for Trayvon" are not racists, some of them might be, but many of them are only going on what they have heard in the established media and for that reason they think that Zimmerman shot Trayvon just for being black and out at night. Some of these people probably have faced real discrimination in their lives and can readily believe that Zimmerman was only following Trayvon because he was black. I highly doubt that is the case with Zimmerman, but when you only get slanted news to go by, combined with personal instances of racism directed at you, then I can understand why they would think Trayvon was murdered. The media is knowingly using propaganda combined with physiological profiling of blacks to try to cause riots. If we can't break through the lies of the media and get the truth out about many important issues, then this country is finished, if it isn't already. Lies and the ability of people to readily accept those lies from government institutions and established mass media outlets, are some of this nation's biggest threats to its survival. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics and Asians can all live together peacefully if the truth is reported instead of lies on constant basis. Those that rule over us have an incentive to keep us divided with lies, it takes the focus off of them, the number one trouble makers in this nation.
Thank you!
In other words, uninformed, reactionary, morons who don't know a thing about the facts of the case.
Below is a piece of info that made me think there's more that we are not being told. -------------- See GreyLmist's post #157 “Turns out that he wasn't even acting as an on-duty Neighborhood Watch Patrol that night and, reportedly, the HOA/Homeowners Association stated that they aren't supposed to be armed there.” http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/re...tNum=157244&Disp=165#C165

Some sources on that and Zimmerman being off-duty: Interactive map: The Trayvon Martin killing Your Zimmerman questions answered in 15 seconds! -- video at 1:04-1:28 | HOA rules + Training Program Zimmerman Trial Day 2 – Analysis of State’s Witnesses: Donald O’Brien, President Twin Lakes Home Owners Association - 7.5 minute YouTube of court testimony from 6:00 on the Neighborhood Watch Program (the "stucco guys" crew discussed starting at 2:50 were not part of the HOA's Neighborhood Watch group and are not said to have been armed) George Zimmerman not a member of recognized neighborhood watch organization
When 28-year-old George Zimmerman was discovered by Sanford, Florida police standing over the body of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, they accepted Zimmerman’s claim that he killed in self-defense as a neighborhood watch captain. Now, through a statement released by the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) — the parent organization of USAonWatch-Neighborhood Watch — it has been revealed that Zimmerman was not a member of any group recognized by the organization. Zimmerman violated the central tenets of Neighborhood Watch by following Martin, confronting him and carrying a concealed weapon. Very very interesting information. I am well informed about neighborhood watch programs and usually when a person is involved with such a program, they are registered and recognized by that agency as well as local police departments, sheriffs, and their neighborhood.
Dorival, a civilian with the Sanford police department, was volunteering as a coordinator because she believed in neighborhood watch programs. She would do presentations to those wanting to start such programs. She said she is still at the police department but in a different position. Dorival testified that in fall 2011, she visited Zimmerman and other residents at the housing complex to discuss setting up a watch program. During her testimony, prosecutor Guy focused on her instructions to residents about how to behave when they spotted a suspicious person. “Their duty is to be the eyes and ears. Report crime as they see it,” said Dorival, adding that she provided handouts stressing this and also explained it verbally during the meeting. Zimmerman was there as the neighborhood watch coordinator, a role he told Dorival had been assigned him by the president of the homeowners' association.
Is this true, GreyLmist? The part about the President of the Homeowners Association assigning Zimmerman the role as Neighborhood Watch Coordinator? Does that also mean Zimmmerman had a right to carry a concealed weapon to take on that role?
Is this true, GreyLmist? The part about the President of the Homeowners Association assigning Zimmerman the role as Neighborhood Watch Coordinator? Does that also mean Zimmmerman had a right to carry a concealed weapon to take on that role? I think Zimmerman was called the Coordinator because he was involved with organzing the Neighborhood Watch program there from the beginning and was a block-Captain recruiter. He was referred to in a newsletter as "our Captain" to contact after the police on crime issues, etc. Zimmerman was not on duty that night so the Neighborhood Watch protocols are not pertinent to the issue. His right to be armed and carry concealed is not in question Constitutionally or according to Florida State Law. I don't know what that community's firearms/concealed carry rules were for on-duty Watch persons but that is reportedly not something that the official Neighborhood Watch Training Program endorses. I believe they should be armed for their protection but carry openly. One of the problems I noticed in the Officer Smith testimony was that there was no mention of Miranda Rights when he was being taken into police custody. That's not proof that Miranada Rights were denied, just making note of it here as questionable. Edited next to last sentence of paragraph 1.
Miranda isn't required when detention is brief and voluntary.
This is not true! Just because an officer directs you to the police station to "brief" you concerning a criminal matter does not mean you waive your Constitutional Rights per the Fifth Amendment and especially where you are being "detained" for a brief period. This is where all cops lie to citizens. NEVER NEVER NEVER "volunteer" information when you are being "detained". You as a citizen have every right to remain quiet because anything you say or do will be held against you in a court of law. Cops are officers of the courts. Anything you say, they record on you. Unless you have been charged with a crime, you are free to go and if the cop is asking you information relating to the crime (and you personally), you ask the cop, "Am I being charged with a crime?" If the cop does not answer you but insist on further questioning you without charging you, then they wish to detain you. This means they are unlawfully holding you against your will without being formally charged. Let them throw your ass in jail because you refuse to cooperate with providing them information. You can sue them later. The only person one should be talking to is a lawyer!
And furthermore....... Suspects can waive their right to remain silent or their right to an attorney either expressly or implicitly. To expressly waive Miranda rights, the suspect would state (or sign something stating) that he or she waives the right to remain silent or the right to have an attorney present. Implied waiver means that the suspect behaves in a way that indicates a knowing and voluntary waiver of Miranda rights.
Does that same way of "behavior" apply when that unarmed individual is forced to "cooperate' by threats of M-16's and/or AK-47's pointed in their face by police?
What does this have to do w/Zimmerman & Miranda? Wasn't that what we were discussing?
GreyLmist mentioned the issue of Zimmerman not being read his Miranda Rights at the time he was arrested and then I discussed how police intentionally get a citizen to "volunteer" information (which also includes deadly force). I'm definitely not trying to stray away from the Zimmerman subject. Zimmerman acted like a police officer out of control of an unarmed citizen. The question I asked was legitimate as it relates to the issue concerning mis-construed implied behavior of a citizen when in an unfortunate situation and forced to comply with another person who happens to be armed with a deadly weapon and is trying to get that citizen to "volunteer" information. Instead I got a non-response.
have you watched this ?
Yes, I have and watched it again. I think it is speculative and misleading about the Lean issue. If Trayvon had bought any soft drink like millions/billions of other people do (especially carbonated and/or caffeinated, which I don't think Arizona Watermelon drink is in either case or not much), he likely would have still been accused as a Lean Fiend by people like Whittle if he also happened to buy any hard candy. If he was trying to get buzzed up, he evidently didn't buy the optimal beverage. Afaik, Lean was originally made in Houston, Texas with Sprite and Jolly Ranchers. The candy is basically just for flavoring and a metabolism booster in conjunction with the carbonation and caffeine in soda-type soft drinks and teas or whatever (not fruit juice). DXM is a cough suppressant in numerous OTC/Over-The-Counter cough syrups. The alleged "missing ingredient" is not OTC cough syrup like Robitussin DM or Robitussin in general, as Whittle depicts at 4:09 and 4:22, but Codeine that requires a prescription. All that Trayvon's toxicology report showed was traces of THC/marijuana, probably from days before - that substance so many people (here too) want decriminalized. It is Zimmerman who stated himself in his CVSA Interview at 15:27 that he was on prescribed medications - the narcotics Aderall and Temazepam - and exhibited like "under the influence" disorientation that night before the confrontation and shooting when he claimed to the dispatcher that he had forgotten the street name. Edited sentence 3 of paragraph 1 + last sentence and punctuation.
A comment about Whittle at the YouTube site: Another comment there: And some from a discussion here: "It’s basically drawing a line “Skittles=criminal=ok to put to death.” "Assuming that every black kid that buys a watermelon fruit drink is actually buying the ingredients for a cheap high is as ridicul[ou]s as assuming that white guy buying corn on the cob at the grocery store must be buying the ingredients to make moonshine." "Listen: I’m a bio major that minored in biochemistry…and whatever drug or intoxicant you think you can make with Skittles, let me assure you; you’re wrong. You could maybe, and I do mean maybe, make alcohol with it if you had a still, months, and were willing to spend many times what beer costs. That’s it." "I work at Rite Aid. It is illegal to sell anyone under the age of 18 and without proper identification, cough syrup or any medical medication of any kind. Children can not purchase cough syrup at a pharmacy..this isn’t a state law it’s a federal law and if your child is able to get their hands on cough syrup from ANY store without being carded then that store needs to be reported." "So we’ve officially established in this country that if you don’t like someone, for whatever reason, just stalk and provoke them until they punch you (out of their own self defense) and then shoot them. Good to know." Edited first line after 2nd link.
Yeah, sure thing. And people under 21 never get to buy any beer or cigarettes and never, ever get into nightclubs. No way, no how, because that would be illegal and no one does anything illegal. Uh huh.
And juries always get it right, huh? Not. Why are people acting as if Zimmerman's aquittal is some sort of race contest trophy? He made a point of distancing himself from "Whites" as a Hispanic-American towards the end of his Hannity interview. I don't think the verdict was correct but, even if it were, it couldn't do anything to undo all the other judicial and media injustices. Which reminds me on account of the fruit juice issue in this case that the nickname of Trayvon's dad is "Juice", like O.J. Simpson's. Just making note of that here. Edited for an apostrophe correction + 1st sentence of last paragraph.
If you can find it within yourself, pay close attention. The evidence presented during the trial showed that Zimmerman shot Saint Skittles AFTER said saint was beating the $#it out of him, including beating his head on a concrete sidewalk. Now if you don't believe that could be life threatening, try a little experiment. Go to your nearest patch of concrete, or even asphalt, and beat your own head over it a few times. I would suggest that you not do it as hard as you can but maybe about half as hard. Then come and give us all the result of your experiment and let us know if it was painful and if it felt like it MIGHT kill you if someone else was doing it and not taking it easy on you.
Your reply has nothing to do with the question of why people are acting as if Zimmerman's aquittal is some sort of race contest trophy. There is no evidence except Z's story that he was attacked by Trayvon, nor that he had his head bashed on the cement by him either. References on that at Post #111.

You still haven't gone and tried that little experiment I mentioned to you, have you? I am waiting for you to get back to us with your results. Until you do go and beat your head on the nearest sidewalk and tell us whether it hurt or not I am not interested in reading anything more about how the racist white Hispanic hunted down the poor innocent black child and murdered him.
#116. To: James Deffenbach, Former Lurker, 4um (#115)
Between us and the Star Trek contingent, the evidence that TM attacked Z is the unanimous not guilty verdict returned by the jury. The jury arrived at that verdict based on the circumstantial evidence provided to the jury by the prosecution no less. I still contended O'Mara could rested after the prosecution's last witness took the stand.

His lawyers have indicated that they will pursue a self-defense strategy, arguing that Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who was off-duty, was protecting himself in a confrontation with the teenager.
