Another video. Apologies if it's been posted before; I read the whole thread, but easily could have missed it.

Block Watch Boy, is clearly guilty of murder.
That's not the only fact "we" need to know... It's the only fact YOU want to know at this point.

also... learn the definition of execution.

Sharpton Calls for Arrest of George Zimmerman After Shooting of Trayvon Martin in ‘Self-Defense’ | Video | TheBlaze.com

Yeah it's a lie. Here are the school's policies that warrant a 10 day suspension.

Quote:
According to Miami-Dade policy, in order to get a suspension of 10 days, Martin would have had to either commit “repeated, serious or habitual” acts of the following:

• Cheating/Misrepresentation
• Confrontation with a staff member
• Defiance of school personnel
• Distribution of items or materials that are inappropriate
for an educational setting*
• Failure to comply with previously prescribed corrective
strategies
• False accusation
• Fighting (minor)
• Harassment (non-sexual or isolated)
• Instigative behavior
• Leaving school grounds without permission
• Joining clubs or groups not approved by the School Board
• Libel
• Petty theft (under $300.00)
• Use of profane or provocative language directed at someone
• Prohibited sales on school grounds (other than
controlled substances)
• Possession and/or use of tobacco products
• Slander
• Vandalism (minor)

Or even occasional offenses from the following:
• Assault/Threat against a non-staff member
• Breaking and Entering/Burglary
• Bullying (repeated harassment)*
• Disruption on campus/Disorderly conduct
• Fighting (serious)
• Harassment (Civil Rights)**
• Hazing (misdemeanor)
• Possession or use of alcohol and/or controlled
substances
• Possession of simulated weapons
• Sexual harassment**
• Trespassing
• Vandalism (major)

Or of the following:
• Grand theft (over $300.00)
• Hate crime
• Hazing (felony)
• Motor vehicle theft
• Other major crimes/incidents
• Sale and/or distribution of alcohol and/or controlled substances
• Sex offenses (other) (including possession and/or
distribution of obscene or lewd materials)

Or possibly even of the following, each of which carries a minimum suspension of ten days:

• Aggravated assault
• Aggravated battery against a non-staff member
• Armed robbery
• Arson
• Assault/Threat against M-DCPS employees or persons
conducting official business
• Battery or Aggravated battery against M-DCPS employees
or persons conducting official business*
• Homicide
• Kidnapping/Abduction
• Making a false report/threat against the school*
• Sexual battery
• Possession, use, sale, or distribution of firearms, explosives,
destructive devices, and other weapons.

But whatever the reason, it‘s a case that you’ll probably be hearing more about in the future.

The dispatcher's suggestion is just that a suggestion it will have little to no bearing on the case. It just adds fuel to the fire for folks like you.

The kid add nothing to the story. "someone was on the ground", "blah blah". His parents should not be allowing him to come on camera.

Yea to set a child back from their studies for two full weeks is definitely not because of chronic tardiness....That doesn't mean he deserved to be killed by any means. But it is important to show how this story is becoming seriously manufactured and people on all sides are being coached.

Well obviously, if you get suspended from high school you deserve to be shot in the chest by some block watching moron.

Let’s keep in mind the only important fact is that Block Watch Boy followed the young man and then executed him in the street, nothing else is important.
