I somehow doubt the events would have been any different if he was wearing a shirt and tie. The hoodie justification is bullshit as somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100% of people under the age of 50 wear some kind off hooded shirt or jacket even when it's not -30 C out. I'll bet the shooter even has one or two.
Geraldo Rivera blames Trayvon Martin’s death on his hoodie

I wonder what Z would have done if he'd seen these guys walking through his neighbourhood.

Everyone should take a deep breath and wait for the results of the investigation. Zimmerman may very well be the asshole he's being pertrayed as. On the other hand maybe the kid that got shot wasn't as sweet and innocent as his high school football picture makes him look. It's too soon to lynch Zimmerman or raise the kid to martyr status. A grand jury is investigating the incident. Everyone should turn down the rhetoric and wait till more is learned. Zimmerman did have a broken nose and a cut on the BACK of his head. Too many u

Why you choose to exaggerate to ridiculous lengths I have no idea. You're acting as if this kid was wearing a luminescent balaclava at night walking towards enemy lines. He was a kid wearing what hundreds of thousands of other kids wear. There was nothing remarkable about it. I think it fairly obvious that the boy was targeted because he was black.
Yes do.
Especially when in the wake of others saying Geraldo Rivera was "full of it" I was attempting to show that we all know that clothing and behaviour can indeed influence being a victim of crime.
Umm isn't that the same thing?
Asterwald talks of black on black crime and you agree that most crime is Intra-racial (of the same race).
If Zimmerman is acquitted, which may be likely given the vagueness of the "stand your ground" law and the lack of evidence, there's probably gonna be a riot.
If the LAPD can barely contain a riot, how will Florida cops fare? :Eek:
I suspect that may be the reason for the lack of action by the state.

I can't quote c-m because I have him on ignore, but that line about most crimes being INTRA-racial instead of black on black, is perfection. It clearly outlines his value as a poster in this forum. What an idiot. This is why he's on ignore: because he is both vocal and dumb.Umm isn't that the same thing?

I hate to agree with Geraldo even in the SLIGHTEST, BUT, it's a tough call these days.
A lot of these punk ass ghetto thug wannabes wear their hoodies, pants half way down their legs, asses hangin' out.... YO!
BUT (again), we don't really know what happened here. Maybe Zimmerman felt threatened, sure he was following the kid as he said in the recording, but we don't know what else happened after that, do we?
This is one fucked up situation, I'd hate to be Trayvon's parents or George Zimmerman.
I can understand the viewpoint but to bring it up at a time like this is really crazy.

So do tens of thousands of rich white kids on the honour roll. Bullshit excuse (and a racist one of you ask me).
I agree with Canada Man.
I just heard about this on the news. No kid deserves to die because he was wearing a fucking hoodie, christ, I wear one too from time to time.
This shooting is entirely racist.
The poor kid didn't do anything to deserve to be shot.
