I've seen this photo go viral.
It turns out that this photo was not Trayvon Martin.
Correction and update: Twitchy issues apology for fake Trayvon Martin photo
Correction, 8:56 pm ET March 25, 2012: We made a mistake. The photo on the right is not of the Trayvon Martin who was shot by Zimmerman. We apologize to our readers and to the Martin family.
Turns out the photo was some middle school student in New York, who had the same name. Morons.
so? who cares?
Zimmerman's past history of violence and criminality.
In 2005, George Zimmerman was twice accused of either criminal misconduct or violence.
That July, Zimmerman 21 at the time was at a bar near the University of Central Florida when a friend was arrested by state alcohol agents on suspicion of serving underage drinkers, according to an arrest report.
Zimmerman was talking with his friend, became profane and pushed an agent who tried to escort him away, the report said. Authorities said he was arrested after a short struggle.
Charged with resisting arrest without violence, he avoided conviction by entering a pretrial-diversion program, something common for first-time offenders.
A month later, court records show, a woman filed a petition for an injunction against Zimmerman, citing domestic violence. It's unclear what led to the petition, but Zimmerman responded by filing a petition of his own the following day.
Records show injunctions were later issued in both cases. Reached by email, the woman would not comment on her past with Zimmerman or his current situation.
Zimmerman married Shellie Nicole Dean, a licensed cosmetologist, in late 2007. The next year, he resurfaced in court documents as a credit-card company pursued him for unpaid debts.
Capital One accused Zimmerman of failing to pay more than $1,000. He settled with the company for $2,135.82, records show, to cover his debts with interest, as well as attorney and court costs. However, the credit-card company soon reported that Zimmerman wasn't making the payments he had agreed to.
Zimmerman's employer at the time, CarMax, agreed to garnish his wages. That arrangement was canceled in late 2008 because Zimmerman was no longer employed by CarMax.

And yet the "rational" members of USMB continue to post that picture and believe that it is the same Martin. Because that's what they WANT to believe.
The really sad thing is, it shouldn't even matter. Even if the picture was of the kid who was killed, it doesn't justify the killing. It shouldn't in any sane person's mind, and it definitely doesn't in the eyes of the law. But we're not talking about sane, rational people here.
I heard Trayvon once got up from the table without asking to be excused. Deserved to die
When do we find out that none of the witness accounts corroborate with each other or Zimmerman's story?
It's simple.
Get the SHERIFF to arrest this fuck.
You have him at the scene of the crime. With the murder weapon. You have the police dispatch calls, telling him to back off. He got OUT of his car and confronted the kid. Make him prove his case of self defense. I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing how this kid threatened this vigilante with his big mean, evil looking BAG OF SKITTLES and HOODIE!
Mmmm Mmmm... all out battle to justify the killing of a black kid. Warms your heart.

You were not there at the thime of the incident. So stop making conclusive statements.
No one knows the events leading up to the shooting of young Mr Martin.
There are witness accounts which media has been derelict in it's duty to report.
One such account has a witness stating that Martin was beating Zimmerman while pinning him to the ground. ANother states that Zimmerman was cut and bruised plus he had grss stains on his back.
On the other side we have AL Sharpton making this into a white/black issue.
Zimmerman is not Caucasian. He is Hispanic. A minority.

Not only did you just say it was Al Sharptons fault for making this about race but you followed up by stating Zimmerman is Hispanic. Why do you want everyone to call him ONLY Hispanic when he is also white. Nope, you arent making this about race at all.
And I think Zimmerman made this about race after calling Martin a fucking coon and then shooting him dead

Yeah ok.
Nice try genius.
What is Al Shaprton's "fault"?
Sharpton is a race whore. Fanning the flames of racial hatred is how this jerk makes a living.
If you do not realize that, well, that is your problem.
Funny how you in an efforst to affirm this this MUST be a racial thing, refer to Zimmerman as "also white", yet to you and all the other Obama follwers, our President is a black man.
Of course that is ignoring the fact that he is "also white"..
The double standards and hypocrisy of the left is truly amazing stuff.
There's plenty of dishonest photos that are viral, on any issue, but lets not pretend this photo was all over the media.
