Trayvon Martin's Hoodie Eyed for Smithsonian Exhibit

[Locutus]

The hooded sweatshirt Trayvon Martin wore the night George Zimmerman shot him to death could end up on display at the Smithsonian Institution.

The shirt became a powerful symbol of the case after Zimmerman described Martin as wearing a "hoodie" the night he killed the teen, claiming self-defense. Protestors across the country wore hoodies in support of Martin as they called for Zimmerman's arrest, prosecution and conviction.

A Florida jury acquitted Zimmerman last month, finding too little evidence to convict him of second-degree murder or manslaughter.

Trayvon Martin's Hoodie Eyed for Smithsonian Exhibit



That's real retarded sir.

:lol:

If BHO had a hoodie it would be like Trayvon's.

The Shroud of Trayvon

Just when you think the left can’t possibly get more unhinged about the shooting of black Trayvon Martin, the next step in his beatification is getting underway: the hoodie he died in may be acquired for the Smithsonian Institution. This not only will imbue it with an historical civil rights significance, which it has not earned, but will practically accord it the status of a religious relic.

When I read the name of the director of the Smithsonian, my dyslexia read it as Looney Bunch:smile:....Or maybe there is nothing wrong with my eyesight and that name is more appropriate for the twit.

This is terrible.

Maybe they can preserve Trayvon's facebook pages and twitter entries as required reading for American students.... His words would be far more powerful than a ratty old hoodie

He deserved to die.

 

[captain morgan]

He deserved to die.

Well, what do you think?

MLK's words have been (rightfully) immortalized, Rosa Parks' actions detailed (as they should be)... Why not include Trayvon's words and actions in addition to the hoodie?

Afterall, the hoodie is only a symbol of 'something'.. Clearly there must be something substantive behind the symbol that represents Trayvon.

 

[petros]

Why not include Trayvon's words and actions in addition to the hoodie?

Because it's irrelevant?

 

[captain morgan]

Because it's irrelevant?

The hoodie, actions, what he stood for?

Exactly what is irrelevant?

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

What exactly did Trayvon Martin "stand for?"

This goes to the really subtle stuff like the fact that MLK and Rosa Parks deliberately took public stands. The difference between that and Trayvon Martin apparently escaped you.

 

[petros]

The Heebs in Jew York have undone what Parks did, MLK was a commie and a nancy. Should they be yanked from history?

I don't really know... maybe that he was an accomplished street fighter?.. He seemed to get the upper hand on Zimmerman until the gun came out

Please explain...

How hard is it to beat up a half-wit?

Why exclude all the other symbolic individuals out there... Gender related incidents, racial events to reflect on all races, we have culturally related incidents, ageism, Political affiliation, victims of perps that are booze-soaked, drugs and just plain-ole bad intentions.

How hard is it to beat up a half-wit?

Apparently it can have lethal consequences.

In fact, one might ask who is the half wit in bringing their fists to a gun fight

 

[petros]

No matter what, he'll always be a half-wit, gun or no gun. It never made him any smarter did it?

 

[WLDB]

Strange.

 

[Zipperfish]

How hard is it to beat up a half-wit?

I've had my *** kicked by a couple of half-wits. Probably because I called them half-wits. :lol:

 

[petros]

You should have shot them.

Well, one of them is walking around today and the other isn't.... That said, no amount of critique or insults at Zimmerman will bring back Martin, will it?
