(ThyBlackMan.com) Like any other Black man who doesn’t walk around with a gun on his waist, I found myself confused and disturbed by the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, 26, last week after an altercation.
As the son of a police officer, I understand the need to use deadly force, even if the defendant happens to be Black. But in this case, I don’t see a police officer, I see a security guard. The use of deadly force by a neighborhood watchman is enough to create suspicion in the mind of anyone with a working brain.

The second thing I noticed about the case of Trayvon Martin is that he was unarmed. This wasn’t a shootout. It wasn’t some innocent victim being robbed at gunpoint. This was the case of an armed security guard shooting a Black man who had nothing to defend himself but his fists.
The next thing I noticed about the Trayvon Martin shooting is that it appears that the boy was simply being stalked by the security guard on his way to his father’s house. George Zimmerman felt that Martin somehow had a suspicious profile and then proceeded to follow him on the way home.
So, if anything, we can say that this unarmed Black teenager was being terrorized by a night watchman who somehow thought that he “looked suspicious” for inexplicable reasons. There is nothing illegal about Martin fighting Zimmerman if he was indeed being harassed or physically assaulted for no reason. Martin wasn’t hitting a police officer – he was hitting a security guard.
Finally, there is the fact that neighbors have long complained that Zimmerman was an overzealous security guard who took his job entirely too seriously. Rather than doing anything about it, the management of the gated community chose to leave the lives of its residents in the hands of an unprofessional stooge. Now an innocent life is lost because of this decision.
So, had it not been for the irresponsibility of those who chose George Zimmerman for this job, Trayvon Martin would be alive, looking forward to having a full life. He would later go on to college, get married, have children, pursue a long career and even have grand kids. But now, none of that is going to happen because a neighborhood watchman thought that Trayvon Martin looked suspicious and decided to shoot him down in cold blood.
Someone needs to get sued and someone needs to go to prison. Had Trayvon Martin shot George Zimmerman in his own neighborhood after following him because he thought he looked suspicious, he’d be going to prison for the rest of his life.
I know the trial is over and so call justice has been served, but here are a few overlooked circumstances that shouldn’t have taken much to discover! 1. How did GZ’s truck keys end up at the murder scene when he clearly states to the NEM that he left them in his truck parked near the mailboxes? 2. Explain how GZ’s mustache get trimmed so quickly. In the bloody nose picture it’s sort of shaggy in the arrest pictures just thirty minutes or so later it’s well trimmed. How did his jacket go from zipped in the nose bleed picture to unzipped before the arrival to the sallyport of the police station and why does he rub his back against the wall upon arrival.
First of all, I believe Zimmerman is not an American citizen, or an anchor baby, the cover-up is so thick, it smells so bad, I know a illegal when I see one. His ears give him away. Toltec Indian from MEXICO OR GUATEMALA. Not American at all. So his racial fears/bias are more primitive and much more biased than normal, plus he’s short, and territorial, note the job/gun.
I am sad to say that this will continue to happen as our NEW IMPORTED LATINO CITIZENRY REJECTS THE BLACK-AMERICAN POPULATION TO THE POINT OF OUTRIGHT GENOCIDE. Here in L.A., the Latinos are privately celebrating the removal of entire black neighborhoods, and the new redistricting that won over all the metropolitan districts and Lakers auditorium. It was all white/black before.
I lived in Mex/Guatemala 17 years. They have a serious racial bias against blacks. No blacks will live there. Most blacks live in Belize, and they have very clean cleared lawns with no trash. Whereas the Mex/Guatemalans have no grass, and rusty junk everywhere with pigs and chickens and kids pooping everywhere on the dirt. Once I traveled with a Belizian black drummer in a 2-man djembe troupe and when we went through Guatemala, we stopped at some indigenous friends of mine for the night, and when bedtime came, the indigenous women all got scared and thought he was the devil, so he had to go sleep outside a barn on the freezing hard ground on a freezing night. Not too cool, my mistake, but I learned a big lesson — Indigenous people of Americas can handle white people, but expressly can’t handle blacks…(an observation of how primal fear results in racism). Love to all..just telling the truth so that we can all move forward.
A child has died at the hands of a White man packing a gun. This perpetrator stalked and confronted this seventeen year old kid for just being Black. Where is our outrage! Where is our outrage! Please sign the petition below. Let’s bring this killer to justice.

@ Novus.. according to your comment the shoter was a Mexican, his name being George Zimmermen makes me question your comment, welcoming people in to the USA is not one parties stance, there is no tension between Blacks and Mexicans or between Whites and Mexicans, even Mitt Romney gives them employment. You are correct about one thing and that is we should be smarter with our votes.
Great idea, Novus, instead of being racist against black people, now we should be racist against mexicans! How come you racist republicans can’t ever manage to say the name of the other party, it’s “DemocratIC”! Seriously, I know it’s ridiculous but that bothers me almost half as much as your obvious fascism, racism, and lack of attachment to reality.
The Parents should sue the hell out the HOA, and city/county since this killer had a history of causing problems and they allowed him to go freely.
Seems the shooter was Mexican. Most Black people I know vote consistently for the Democrat party, which is all about welcoming these people into the USA, in spite of the extreme tensions between Blacks and Mexicans as well as Whites and Mexicans. Maybe we should be a little bit smarter with our votes.
