Trayvon was a dirt bag fighting fool who did drugs, was a thief and who wanted to fight ( and glorified it). He was only there after being suspended. His father had a lot of problems with him. Jeantel said he was going out, after going home, to confront Zimmerman. That's it.Trayvon?! Tray-von-n-nn!? You think that's a "non-issue?!
I watched that entire fiasco unfold from day one, through an entire year, through the televised parts of the trial and their witnesses. They interviewed the jurors. It was obvious to me that one of the "white" jurors had applied a stereotype from a recent movie to Rachel Jeantel. "The witness simply wasn't credible." For what? Verifying that she was talking on the cell-phone with her friend at the time Zimmerman interrupted him? That was corroborated by the cell-phone records!
Passive-aggressive? Sure! "Yes! Sah!" "No, Sah!" "That wasn't what I said, Suh!"
Some say that Trayvon should've called 911. But I can see it for myself. Somebody comes up to me, with no appearance of authority, on the turf where I'm staying overnight at my father's house (or any other situation) to interrupt me during a telephone conversation -- I'm gonna be tempted to rearrange his face!
Stand my ground! Stand your ground!
All of these cases are different. Darren Wilson got a raw deal, and the rest of his life will taste like dry, hard-pan dirt. But the episode sparked attention to the fact of something very wrong with the governance of that community.
Be careful how you throw all the stories into the same pot.
His family hired good pr guys to scrub the bad side, present a "kid" picture and froth up racism. Hence the "white hispanic" and "f'ing c##n" garbage.
You wanna pick somebody who needs to be held up as a standard bearer to fix black people getting killed? Pick Hadiya Pendleton. That's it. Nobody else is needed.
The two fucking clowns that killed her exemplify the problem. Fighters, thieves, druggies.
