"Geraldo Rivera has continued his habit of doing stupid things when he said last week, “I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin?s death as George Zimmerman was.” No really. That happened. And, instead of issuing a retraction for such a stultification, he doubled down on the WTF and tried to justify blaming Martin’s choice of clothing for his murder.
In addition, Rivera has worn a hoodie himself on numerous occasions, because of course he would. And, since Rivera said this all on Fox News, the branded Fox News hoodie is no longer for sale on their website. I’m sure they only pulled it from their store out of concern for the children."

He looks about 100lbs slimmer than the picture circulating on the net.[/quote]
I wrote that earlier. His friend stated that he had dropped about 50lbs since that picture…so while he was short, he wasn’t as fat as that original pic.
Have to agree. People are just as likely to say “goon” as they are “coon”. This isn’t the 1950’s. I won’t speculate, but it is just as likely that he said “coon” as it is that he said “goon”…and either way, he had made his mind up that Trayvon was negative enough to use either term.
So…he chases after him…
Once again…does the short wimpy guy with a gun chase a tall athlete at night in the rain and decide he will NOT use his gun?
My question is, why are we to believe he didn’t already have that gun out?
Spike Lee is an idiot. He shows his immaturity by making matters worse … and being wrong in the process.
Thanks for the smear campaign video, X. I agree that shit is ridiculous. Although the hostess is kind of hot, she’s fucking obnoxious and clearly has her side chosen. If she were a professional then she’d probably make a feeble effort at being objective.
But by and large, I’m really disgusted in our nation for driving the wedge deeper.

I’m willing to bet he didn’t have the gun out (obviously speculating). If he was really out for blood he would have just shot him in cold blood with no sign of a struggle.
…and lastly, whether Trayvon was a piece of shit gangbanger wannabe or just a regular kid, it’s irrelevant. Even if he was a bona fide criminal, it doesn’t justify him being shot. The smear campaign serves no purpose because it doesn’t add legitimacy to the shooting. The only thing that would possibly make it legitimate is who started the fight, etc. The court is not going to give a shit if Zimmerman shot a “bad guy” if they determine he was the aggressor the entire time.

No, I believe Zimmerman truly believed he was right. He was playing hero. he knew the cops were on their way. I am sure he was expecting to be carried on the shoulders of the neighborhood…so no, no one is saying he would have shot him from across the street.
I am saying what logical sense does it make for the UNTRAINED IN MARTIAL ARTS OR HAND TO HAND COMBAT, short out of shape guy with a gun to run after what would clearly have looked like a grown TALL man in the dark…CONVINCED HE IS A CRIMINAL…but isn’t prepared to fire?
I have a hard time believing that.
I see it as completely possible that his gun was already pulled because he would have seen his own life as being at risk against a much larger opponent who was already running away. He went looking for him. Unless this guy thought he could beat up the world, that makes no sense.
Why wouldn’t he have acted like a cop and searched for the “criminal” with his gun ready to fire? They don’t search drug houses with their guns in the holster.

Because eye witness testimony would’ve mentioned the man on the ground waving a pistol around instead of screaming for help.
we get it. you can find one sided clips on the internet.[/quote]
There was zero complaint when people posted the pictures earlier of “Bizarro Trayvon”.[/quote]
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Shit is shit and you’re posting a lot of it.
I posted these earlier. The token friend is totally clueless about his ‘‘friend’’. Good on O’Donnell for showing what an imbecile Oliver is. Covering up a racist killer’s ass.
