Trayvon Martin is a "Martyr"

I hope my sarcasm meter just needs to be adjusted.

That sucker is beyond repair if it didn't pick up on that one lol.

Engrave it on his tombstone and move on

Makes about as much sense as calling George Zimmerman a victim.

Cool. He needs a statue on the National Mall, maybe right next to MLK's.

When they put it up do you think they will use his Facebook name and pictures?

 

[candrpotts]

It's just so sad. Yes, he gave his life to show us all that the civil rights struggle is far from over. His death truly illustrates what the 60+ years of struggle are really about.

When a young man like that, full of hope and promise, an encouragement to others, and truly a benefit to his community is gunned down in cold blood, I think martyr is exactly the correct term.

May his short life and violent death at the hands of that evil, plotting, racist White Hispanic be a lesson for us all.

I just watched my BS meter take off like a Huey

That man was actually killed because of his activism.

Trayvon was preparing some lean yo!

That guy needs his face slapped. What a moron. It is idiots like that that actually hurt civil rights.

....but, was he going to share it, that would be the deciding factor

I think there are some parallels.
BTW - did they ever unseal the files on DRMLK,? They didn't have his statue up in DC when I was there a few years ago, I'd like to see it.
