I think about him a lot and it makes me so angry. He had a promising future.

Yep. But it didn't matter if he even would have spent 85 trifling years. He had his right to live and just BE stolen from him.

I hate the business that has grown around hating this kid. Like that book "If I Had a Son" and the losers on the website that got it all started.

There will be more Trayvons and Jordan Davises because of people like that and Colin Flaherty. If you blog and post and self publish nothing but racist rants and lists of black on white crimes and post public records to "prove" that kid killed by cop or homeowner "was already on the path to prison" it will keep happening and happening and happening.

The site where Jack Cashill got his Trayvon information is the kind of site that all black parents need to lurk at. That's YOUR child they're talking about. That's YOUR child they are dismissing. And that's YOUR child they consider a criminal element they have to arm themselves against.

A lot of folks register to cuss them out but they just block you. Go incognito, read these kinds of sites and make your family proactive. You may be going to work and driving your kid to Little League and picking out a church dress, but those bastards are preparing for civil war.

Jay Z supposedly purchased book rights and is planning Trayvon projects. I'll keep searching for the links

I think about all the young people that died at the hands of white thugs with or without a badge. Such loss of potential.

I think of him every now and then. The whole thing was despicable, and hurts my heart. Can't believe that psycho is still walking free...

I don't think about him because he's on to a better place, but that monster that's still on earth crosses my mind every once in a while. Wondering when karma's going to deal it's full blow.

I do. I have a cousin who's like a brother to me and he'll be the same age as Trayvon soon. I worry every day.

Absolutely. He was a child who had his life taken needlessly by a grown man who has no business owning a gun.

Every time I see my nephews I think of him and I get a little bit scared for them and then offer up a silent prayer. I love those boys so much.

I have a black son. I think about Trayvon a lot. I still get tears in my eyes thinking about his story. My son loves hoodies and to have to explain to him what ignorant people think of him because of his hoodies was a really tough conversation. When I see Trayvons parents my heart breaks every time. I know the opportunities that they are being given right now are only great on the surface, nothing will take away that pain from losing Trayvon.

Lawd now I need tissue.

Don't worry karma will serve the wicked at the time when they least expect it. Rest in peace Trayvon for we'll never forget you or your family.

Sometimes. He seemed liked a cool kid, and yes, I considered him a kid no matter how the media tried to assassinate his character.

Honestly, I think about his parents more.

I can't imagine what it's like living without your child and knowing that their murderer was found not guilty. That must be hell on Earth.

I don't normally wish for bad things to happen but I wouldn't mind Zimmerman being taken out. I would personally put money on that person's books.

Have you seen the film "A Time to Kill" (that's from the Bible btw) with Samuel Jackson & Matthew M.?

Well, that is what one of Trayvon's parents or a relative should have done! But African Americans are too cowardly in the States...

Samuel Jackson's character had no problem with facing being locked up for life or the death penalty because true justice would have been served.

Some might say, "but the times are different now" is it? Is it?
If it was different than the time period the movie was set in, then Zimmerman would have been found guilty for murdering an unarmed black man...

They kill one of yours, you take one of theirs out! That is what the Bible calls "an eye for an eye". I bet you, if Black people in the States was doing that every time an unarmed black person was murdered, the Police & da rest of the Racists would think again!

My mother and I was just talking about Trayvon a couple of days ago after we heard the sentencing of the white Police woman who murdered Botham Jean in his own apartment...

And just like Botham, Trayvon Martin SHOULD BE ALIVE TODAY

and why exactly was Trayvon killed again? Because he was robbing a store? No. Breaking into a house? No. Was he part of a drug cartel? No. He was walking down the street minding his business...

But apparently, when you're a black person in the U.S. walking down the street in a hoodie, it's a problem...& you are a threat because your skin is NOT white so that means you have NO RIGHT to breathe God's free air...in effect, that is what they are saying

And then, you go to Court expecting some semblance of Justice, but instead the murderer gets acquitted and the family gets $hitted on a second time...

The American Justice system is a bloody joke!

TBH his death is what woke me up to how the world views black children and ppl. I haven’t been right every since. Still angry frustrated bad things haven’t gotten better.

Every parent tells their kids if some adult comes at you outside and tries to put hands on you, fight like your life depends on it. That’s all that beautiful kid was doing. Fighting off a predator.

Yes I do, I hope he's resting in paradise right now.
Poor child who got his life taken away by a mad man, disbelief.

I thought about him the other day when young hooded guys trespassed and loitered in my apt building to do drugs, hoot and hollered, and had the audacity to trash the hallway.

I think about Trayvon regularly. His father’s still a close family friend and we discuss his baby boy every time there’s a gathering. TM loves knowing that his son hasn’t been forgotten. He and Sybrina (who’s running for County Commissioner in Miami) are both doing well.

FYI...
Sybrina Fulton for Miami-Dade County

Yes, I have thought about him a few times. Only because after his death more black men have been murdered in the hands of our “protectors” and their killers continue to get off for it because our justice system sucks ass.
