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?
Wow, your last question really shows how little you know about anything. No wonder you think TM was an innocent little child skipping home with some skittles in his hand and a song in his heart....
TM was unarmed. Zimmerman was not. And not every neighborhood watch program endorses their citizens to patrol with concealed weapons.

Zs neighborhood watch didn't patrol. The Sanford PD had a separate program for people who wanted to patrol. It was called Citizens on Patrol (COP). Z declined an offer to participate in that program, odd for a man who was painted as a cop "wannabe."

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.
