I deleted two of my YouTube videos on the Trayvon Martin shooting. The content was dated. We have learned more since I made the videos.
I hate to kill any video even when I make a video and I am wrong I leave them online. Sort of a history of what I was thinking at the time. But people were checking out these videos. I just felt they should go.
On all the Trayvon Martin videos I made I never turned on advertising. I did not want to make one cent off the death of a 17 year old young man.
Now, of course, we find out that the family of Trayvon Martin has a civil case against the homeowner’s association. They are not trying to punish Zimmerman for the death of their son they are trying to get money.
Now we learn that Trayvon Martin’s mother wants to trademark her son’s name. She is out to make money off the name of her dead son.
I been waiting for the school suspension information to come out about Trayvon Martin. Not that it excuses his death. But from the first the family was saying different things about the suspension and because it was ten days I knew it was not something mild. Again the school things about Trayvon Martin do not excuse his death.
I do have a problem with the family now. The reports are that Trayvon’s father listened to the 911 call with the screaming for help and was asked by the police is that your son and he said no. Then later he changed his mind and said it was his son. Trayvon’s mother, I saw her on TV, said that the screaming for help was her son and she said that she knew her son’s voice. From the first the police report and later other people said that it was Zimmerman that was screaming for help. So the family was lying for some reason. Are they willing to do anything and if so what is the reason? I fear it is money and not justice for their son.
One thing I wonder about is the girl friend on the telephone with Trayvon. Is she telling the truth? The information that she gave does not help or hurt Trayvon.
If Trayvon was scared and I think he was. At first a guy in a truck was following him and then the guy got of the truck and was following him. I wonder why Trayvon did not call 911? It might be that a young black male that is out walking in a new area does not call the police.
But Trayvon was talking to his girl friend on the phone and I wonder if he said something to her like “I am going to kick this guy’s ass.”
I think we have a pretty good idea of what took place. Trayvon Martin was walking back home. Not doing anything wrong. Zimmerman had gone someplace to do something and saw a young black male. Zimmerman had his gun with him because he had not gone out to patrol but was doing something else so he had his gun. But I think we all know Zimmerman carried that gun all the time. He wanted to be packing a gun like a cop. Zimmerman saw the young black man and wanted to play policeman and be a hero. He called in the information to 911. He followed Trayvon in his truck. Trayvon saw him and left the side walk and was going between or behind homes to get away from a guy following him. Zimmerman got out of the truck. He was following on foot. The 911 dispatcher asked Zimmerman if he was following the guy and Zimmerman said yes. The dispatcher told him not to do that. Zimmerman said OK but was running after Trayvon and was out of breath and that is where some people hear the slur sound on the 911 tape. Just him breathing hard.
Now Zimmerman says he lost sight of Trayvon and I wonder if that is true or not? He said he was heading back to his truck when Trayvon jumped him. That may or may not be true.
I think the facts are clear that Trayvon knocked Zimmerman down and got on top of him and started pounding him. Zimmerman was screaming for help. One guy that lived in one of the houses came out and Zimmerman yelled to him for help and the guy says that he said “I will call 911” and he went back in the house. He saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman. The guy that went into the house said that he went upstairs and then he heard a shot and looked outside and saw that Trayvon was on the ground shot.
Now when the police showed up then did handcuff Zimmerman. They took his gun and they gave Zimmerman first aid as officers and EMTs were doing CPR on Trayvon. The police did take Zimmerman to the station and took his report.
I am not sure how long Zimmerman was being held by the police but they then let him go and let him keep his gun. The next day Zimmerman went to the hospital for treatment.
Word is now that the police have taken Zimmerman’s gun.
From the comments that were left on my videos I would say that Zimmerman NOW does need his gun.
The above is what I think took place.
I think the “Stand Your Ground” law is a bad law. But I think the law is a good one for Zimmerman. I think it will protect him.
Was there racism taking place? I am not sure that Zimmerman is racist. I think the local police department and city has major problems with racism.
The problem is that racist incidents like this happen all the time. There are shooting like this all the time. Many of the shooting like this are by police officers and nothing is done about it.
I am do not think this is a good case for people to use to fight the racism. I know this one seems like a good one. A young man not doing anything wrong and shot dead and the shooter walks completely free.
The problem is there are to many guns. There are people with guns that should not have them. The “Stand Your Ground” law is wrong.
The NRA and pro gun people wanted the law changed so that everyone could carry a gun. They pretty much got that. Then they wanted to make it so you could kill someone and not have to worry about the law. It was not enough that they could use “self defense” they wanted complete protection…they could not even be arrested or sued.
Even then that was not enough for them … When the laws to carry a gun were passed it was set up so that some businesses could post a sign and you could not carry a gun in their private business. The pro gun people and the NRA now want it so you can carry a gun any dam place that you want to carry the gun.
It is time for us to have some reasonable gun laws. We do not have any at this time.
