(66,381 posts)The poster below was kind enough to do so. Read the truth, and quit dancing on Trayvon Martin's grave. Telling lies to justify and rationalize his murder is not worthy of a civilized people. Let the right-wingers do that.

(83,786 posts)Perhaps they mixed Trayvon up with the man that drown the other day while teens... Watched. Filmed. Laughed. A poster shared a picture on my thread about his death and arrest record saying he was a career criminal and they would not lose a minutes of sleep over his drowning and yes he had tattoos. Gang related tats? I have no clue. So they just said, no great loss.
I understand if Noose was confused. All black men look alike.

(67,782 posts)....about Martin that was quickly debunked by Politifact. See details at my link.
If you recall, there was a massive attack campaign back then by the "law and order crowd", most likely backed by the NRA, to discredit Martin and justify the "stand your ground" legislation in Florida.

(1,697 posts)Gang-related face tattoos? The kid looked as clean cut as my kid and IMO as clean cut as kushner, maybe more so.
And he was in the process of committing a break-in? WTF?? He was walking home from a quick run to the store.
Where do you get YOUR history (or noose)?
You have my blood BOILING

(8,419 posts)What break in was occuring? A black kid walking through a condo complex is a break in?
What gang tattoos?

(4,490 posts)Not that it realy matters what he looked like. He was stalked and shot by a violent racist. No amount of tatoos or a break in eould have made that ok.

(32,980 posts)There are and were other men with that name who do/did. They were misidentified as the one who was shot. Error of fact.

(9,350 posts)Didn't the BTK killer teach Sunday school? How many serial killers looked like normal people? Did Timothy McVeigh look like a guy who could kill 168 people 19 of which were children? Did Adam Lanza look like a guy who would walk into an elementary school and kill 26 people 20 of which were children? Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were in high school, but they conducted what might still be the worse high school shooting in American history.
Just because someone is young, or looks young does not mean they could not, or would not commit a crime. Jared Kushner met with Russians and failed to inform the government about those meetings. It was later uncovered that he was present at a meeting in which the stated purpose of the meeting was to provide damaging information about Hillary Clinton. He also failed to mention this meeting. It does not matter whether or not Kushner looks like he is still in high school. His looks do not mean he could not create a crime.
