Also happens to be the name of a gang in New Orleans. Look them up on youtube.

It's funny how people talk about how Trayvon was a "thug", but yet, all he had on him was some candy and iced tea. A legit thug would have had a gun or knife on his person at all times.

Out of nowhere some older guy who looks agitated and focused starts following you. You speed up and he speeds up. You start running.

He cuts you off and you see he has a gun.

He tries to stop you from running.

You no longer exist.

I think it is ironic that you mention Trayvon and then list what you think happened instead of what really happened and then ask people how they would feel in this make-believe scenario... if you want to make up stuff... I guess, I can try it out too

You are the Neighborhood Watch on duty tonight... there have been several break-ins from the surrounding communities and tensions are on edge that the burglars will hurt someone or worse in the process...

You are well-liked in the community because you keep the neighborhood safe.

One night on patrol, you see a person who you never saw before. You wave him down to see if he is lost or perhaps a burglar.

You notified the police of the situation and he proceeds to run away with his hands holding something in his pockets.

He runs across a lawn, forcing you to ditch your vehicle but that was his plan!

You lost him in a dark area and feel unsafe so you start going back and suddenly you feel your head slammed against the concrete sidewalk as he tackles you and wails on you with a flurry of punches.

You tell him that you are the Neighborhood Watch and have called the police. He flashes gang signs in your face and spots your gun.

He starts tugging on your gun and tells you he is going kill you.

The adrenaline is rushing and you manage to push him off. You pull out the gun and pointed to him. You tell him to stay away but he charges at you anyway.

You both struggle with the gun and then it goes off. Luckily it wasn't you that was killed. You sat there hurt and confused before the police arrive.

I like making up stuff too... don't you?

I didn't know that there are "legit" thugs and ones that aren't "legit"... and I didn't know the definition of a thug is a person who carries a knife or gun... silly me...

Zimmerman just took out the garbage.

Trayvon was a thug, nothing more.

Trayvon Martin's "NO_LIMIT_*****" Tweets -- The Daily Caller

This is the most ridulous statement. First, there are parents of every culture that that have issues. Did you say that about the many white men that went on shooting sprees at VT, malls and work places? I doubt that you did. So stop trying to judge the black race when every race has good and bad. That makes you sound very misguided and I'm offended by your insensitive comment!

This thread is pure speculation. No one has an accurate timeline version of events for that night. All we know is that Zimmerman and Martin argued, Martin ended up on top of Zimmerman and banged his head on the ground, and Zimmerman shot him. Anything else that happened is anyone's guess.
