Do you think Zimmerman will be convicted of murder?

The erroneous profile was not the cause of the shooting. The violent assault is what prompted Zimmerman to shoot.

i don't think we can know what martin was really like as the entire black community would crucify any black who knew him saying anything negative about him. People are not free to speak.

As opposed of course to certain elements of the white community who crucify anyone who dares suggest that Zimmerman was not a saint.

White Supremacists Conflicted on Martin Shooting: ‘Zimmerman’ Sounds Jewish, Is Hispanic, But Did Kill a Black Guy

White supremacists appear to be clearly conflicted about the ethnic background and Jewish-sounding last name of the shooter in the Trayvon Martin case, but the “white nationalists” seem to agree that supporting the shooting of the black teen is more important.

One member on the Stormfront website, with an international “no” symbol across the Star of David as his avatar, pointed out George Zimmerman’s last name. “He’ll probably get away with it because he’s a Jew….” another member responded. Others proceeded to argue that Zimmerman could be German and Aryan, or Jewish. “He doesn’t look like a yid to me,” said one.

“If indeed he is a jew, this story will be quietly swept under the rug,” one opined.

“It doesn’t seem to be relevant that this was a case of Hispanic-Jewish immigrant invader shoots African-American,” argued another.

Most expressed anger with reports calling Zimmerman, whose father is white and mother is Hispanic, white.

“He looks pure wetback to me,” one wrote.

“There is some doubt that Zimmerman is White, but all being said. If its a dead negro and a live White man claiming self defense I’m going to give him more of the benifit [sic] of the doubt that [sic] I will a negro beast,” one member commented.

“This Zimmerman case is a perfect example of why we don’t want Hispanics in our schools, neighborhoods and restaurants. But as bad as the ‘spanics are, the nigra are more than twice as bad. In this case, the only mistake Zimmerman (the Hispanic victim) made was he neglected to double tap the nigra,” another wrote.

“All of the extended ‘conversation on whether he’s White or not avoids the central issues of negritude and jewi$h propaganda,” commented one.

The white supremacists on the neo-Nazi forum, which was established in 1995 by former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard Don Black, coalesced around the shooting of Martin itself.

“I’m thinking ‘Trayvon’ left the house to shoplift, burglarize and vandalize,” one wrote. “White Man spotted him; ‘wild nig*er attack’ ensued. White Man was properly armed, as we all should be. negroes complaining that ‘whitey’ didn’t show proper ‘respect’ to the nubian as commanded by the jew$…”

“Rape and murder of Whites is an accepted part of their culture,” wrote one member who started a petition on Change.org to defend self-defense in Florida, while another added that African-Americans have “a natural proclivity for attacking White People.”

“Looks like little Tyrone/ Travontee/ WTFE should have learned some manners,” one posting said. “oh well- he won’t be making that mistake again.”

“A .22 is a poor weapon to take down a feral negro with,” wrote another member.

Trayvon Martin: Armed Neo-Nazis Occupy Sanford, Protecting “Whites”
09 April 2012

Sanford, FL] With every action, there is a reaction.

When the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) unfortunately announced a $10,000 bounty for “citizen’s arrest” of George Zimmerman – the neighborhood watcher who shot and killed an unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin – you knew it wouldn’t be long before some group took up the cause for the white residents of Sanford.

Enter the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a white-is-right neo-Nazi organization out of Detroit. They have declared that they will protect “white citizens in the area who are concerned for their safety,” says Commander Jeff Schoep.

Yes, they say they are armed and prepared to battle if need be, to protect those white folks. They just don’t hope it comes to that. But they are ready.

“We are not advocating any type of violence or attacks on anybody, but we are prepared for it,” Schoep says, according to a statement in the Miami New Times. “We are not the type of white people who are going to be walked all over.”

By the looks of their website, these NSM skinhead types like to aggravate and irritate racial hotspots using megaphones and shields emblazoned with swastikas.

The New Times also reports that Sanford Police haven’t seen any Nazis or Black Panthers, so where is all of this racial posturing happening?

In the media, of course. But it certainly makes for great theater doesn’t it?


Despite what the police say, Schoep contends that Sanford is “like a powder keg ready to explode into the streets.” So, what better way to calm everything down than send 10-20 neo-Nazis into the mix, armed and ready for action.

Let’s see how it all goes down today as the NBBP’s planned “National Day of Action & Absense” plays out. The group is asking for a national general strike by “brothers and sisters in unity” – meaning no shopping, no working, no school – so that they can participate in a day of fasting, prayer and teaching to bring about “justice for Trayvon.”

Sounds peaceful – until you see the cross-hairs over the picture of Zimmerman on the flyer (pictured).

The Trayvon Martin saga is yet another sad chapter in Sanford’s race-fueled unease that goes back more than a hundred years, as reported by the Orlando Weekly. And little has changed since then.

“You have the black people living on their side of town and the white people live on their side. You have the black high school, Seminole, and the white high school, Lake Mary,” lawyer Natalie Jackson told the Weekly.

“And this was not during segregation time, this was in the 1980s, when I came up,” said Jackson, who was raised in Sanford.

and also let people belive that Zimmerman is white.

There is a good reason why the lobby to get Zimmerman claimed that this killing was all about race off of no evidence of that

I believe Zimmerman identifies himself as white. Hispanic pertains to his ethnicity, not his race. He can identify himself as a white Hispanic if he so chooses, and I believe he does identify himself that way.

There is a racial aspect to this situation and this case.

Even you said a black teen in a hoodie should have arroused legitimate suspicions that night. I don't think Zimmerman would have responded the same way to a white teen in a hoodie. He probably would never have stopped his car to observe a white kid. Trayvon's race was part of what drew his attention. Some racial profiling was involved.

And the racial aspects also involved the criminal justice system, and the feeling that the state's attorney did not do enough investigation, and declined to press manslaughter charges against Zimmerman, as the police had requested be done, because the victim was black. And, maybe there is some truth to that. Maybe that failure to press charges initially was another example of the black community getting short shrift from the justice system.

So the racial aspects of this case aren't just confined to the narrow issue of whether Martin was shot and killed simply because he was black.

There was no self defense if you are trying to confront a suspect when you were asked to not do so.
