Trayvon Martin controversy deepens amid new info!

Comment if you think Zimmerman should go to jail.
It has come out that the unarmed teenager was suspended from school,
and is accused of beating up the man who then shot him dead. Martin's parents claim authorities are now trying to sully their son's reputation, after his tragic shooting.

There were several protests Monday in Sanford, where Martin, 17, was shot by George Zimmerman.

State
and federal investigators were to be back at it Tuesday, reviewing the
original controversial police investigation that's sparked a firestorm. The central questions remains: Was the decision not to arrest Zimmerman the right one, and should he be arrested now?

Chanting
"no justice, no peace," demonstrators marched through downtown Sanford
and presented city commissioners with petitions, signed by 2 million
people, demanding Zimmerman's arrest. The crime watch
captain says he shot Martin in self-defense, but the teen's father,
Tracy Martin, wants Zimmerman in jail. "We're not asking for an eye for
an eye," he told one crowd. "We're asking for justice, justice,
justice!" Martin's parents also found themselves on the defensive for the first time since the shooting.

Revelations
surfaced that the teen's high school had suspended him three times for
offenses including vandalism, truancy and tardiness, and, at the time of
his death, he was in the midst a two-week suspension for a baggie
containing marijuana residue found in his book bag. The family reacted angrily, accusing Sanford police of maligning their son.

His mother, Sybrina Fulton, said, "They've killed my son, and now they're trying to kill his reputation."

Sanford
police have confirmed that investigators believe Martin decked
Zimmerman with a single punch and bashed his head against the sidewalk.
Zimmerman then fired his nine millimeter. But Trayvon's killing has launched waves of protest.

In
Los Angeles, several hundred people, many wearing hoodies, as Trayvon
was when he was shot, marched during rush hour demanding answers. State
and federal authorities, including Florida State Attorney General Pam
Bondi, say their review will take time, and pleaded for patience. "What
we do know," said Bondi, "is a 17 year-old boy was walking home and now
he's dead. And when you have questions like that, they need to be
answered." Trayvon's parents were to leave for Washington
Tuesday and a congressional hearing. Its focus: neighborhood watch
groups, racial profiling, and Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law - the
one Zimmerman apparently felt gave him the right to shoot Trayvon in
what he claims was self-defense.

  • This story is sad but how come no one's picked up on the story of the two black kids that set the white kid on fire? Funny how black on white hate crimes don't get attention.

  • His mom said "they killed my son". Who the fuck is "they"? ONE MAN killed your son. It shows desperation and a lack of a brain when you start refering to one person as 'they'.

  • Look, this whole thing turned totally sick when his mother placed patent applications for 2 phrases so she could make money off her dead son. She's also pissed that the angel image she had painted has been washed away to show he was a drug dealer and a gang banger....

    Should he have been shot, I don't know but I know his mother is an on the make bitch.

  • More mob rule antics. Let the justice system sort this out and those of us who weren't there should shut the fuck up.

  • Of course I do not think he should go to jail.. Yet..

    In this country one is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty.

    If the police did not care to arrest Zimmerman right away then they are either satisfied that he is not a flight risk while they are investigating? Or they are convinced it is an open and shut case and he is innocent. For goodness sake people if they thought he had murdered the kid he would have already been arrested. Stop protesting already and let the man have his day in court More..

  • there is no smoke with out fire Martin it appears was not the poor little innocent like the parents and other anti-law shitstirrers are attempting to preach to, even the local police have stated that the little pest had initially assaulted Zimmerman! and that entitled him to defend himself from further assault , when will parents of all cultures stop abusing and misusing the laws to cover up their lack of discipline and parenting when its their child that is the wrongdoer, the Martins had prior More..

    • @storm_seal - zimmerman stalked the kid in his SUV. you cant go out and stalk a person, get out with a gun and confront them, and then shoot them dead when things get physical. if you are too much of a tub of lard pussy to tangle with a 65kg teenager, you'd better leave your gun and your fat arse in your car ?

  • "no justice, no peace" translates to "do what we want or no peace". Justice has nothing to do with it. What we do know is a 17 year old boy was walking, attacked and seriously assaulted someone and now is dead. Eyewitness testimony that he was the aggressor, recordings showing he was the aggressor and phyical evidence showing he was the aggressor have no place in this argument. The only important thing is that a kind of whitish man shot a black man and should be severely More..

  • This is a political football now.

    It's gonna be a factor in the 2012 election.

    This will be a racial diversion for Obama, if he cannot campaign on his record.

    Much like global warming, the facts in this case will not matter.

  • I wouldn't call it killing his reputation as much as exposing it.

    Also, it doesn't really have anything to do with what happened that night.

  • I think it is hilarious that the same people that were saying "Fuck the Police" are now screaming for the police.

  • I'm not saying who is right or who is wrong here... Do you know how many people here in Detroit are shot very year. Blacks shooting blacks, blacks shooting whites, and whites shooting blacks. I can think of 2 instances this year where a black person shot and killed a 9 month old black baby and the other was a 3 or 4 year old black child. One was because 2 people were arguing over a seat at a baby shower. Is that any different, is it worse? Is it racist? It sure seems to me that this is racist, A More..
