| The parents of Trayvon Martin entered the room to a standing ovation. The waves of applause marked the bittersweet beginning of the inaugural "We Remember Trayvon" dinner, held in honor of the 17-year-old who was killed last Feb. 26. The Feb. 10 event was a fundraiser for the Justice for Trayvon Martin Foundation, launched by his parents. (Snip) This unwanted job began a year ago when Fulton’s son was shot in the chest by George Zimmerman, a Sanford neighborhood watch member. Trayvon was visiting his father, Tracy Martin, who lived in the townhouse community with his girlfriend.

Just think...if Trayvon were alive today, he would probably be on his way to prison. It wasn´t that great a life he had chosen for himself.

How could any normal human being stomach eating food knowing this young man purposely and willfully chose to end his own life by being an agressive thug?
Surprize! I have a gun and I shoot people who agressively attack me like thugs! Boom! Theres your "justice", all you corrupt media liars, and you too Mister Kenyan half-white skinny liar!
Parents in such denial need counseling, and need it fast! Wake up! Dont be such liars.

And the public STILL does not know what really happened. How long will it take? Years? Decades? What is taking so long?
The same incredible sloth is encountered in every high profile, socially and politically explosive case, from Gabby Giffords to Newtown. The delays are inexcusable and profoundly damaging. They permit "burn in" of every conceivable narrative. When the facts finally emerge -assuming they ever do- it is too late. False narratives have done their work. They are permanently encoded in the public DNA, to be transmitted forever, hardened and impervious to correction.
The slowness of the justice system in the 21st century digital age is neither necessary nor acceptable. There is no need for these unconscionable, business-as-usual, snail´s pace bureaucratic, legalistic delays in cases of obvious national significance. Some means must be devised to expedite the public dissemination of verified information, instead of deliberately keeping it concealed for months or even years pending trial. There should certainly be a way of doing this that preserves the rights of the accused -if they are still alive. Depriving the public of the facts, while sensationalizing and politicizing the story 24/7 for weeks and months on end, is toxic and damaging to the social fabric and can lead to unhealthy political reactions.

Let´s not forget - Al Sharpton ´rose to fame´ on the back of a *female* version of Trayvon...
Hence the adage, ´Racism $ells´. Ask MSNBC.
We all knew we were in bizarro world when the Democrats almost ran Sharpton for president. Maybe Trayvon´s parents are next?

Trayvon lived as a punk and died as a punk. I wonder how many folks the punk attacked before he decided to attack GZ.
The parents, Crump, and the rest of the race-baiters should be jailed for fraud.

“We are here locally to help keep that fire burning with the people,” the comedian said. “We were all fired up about it when it first happened; we want that energy, that same zest.’’
It must be the German sounding last name of Zimmerman. If he was a Hernandez or a Gonzalez I just don´t think it would have become the cause celeb / outrage du jur that we now have.
Why is this type of behavior only racist if white people were to try it ???

What a shame Zimmerman had a gun. Otherwise Trayvon would´ve cracked that cracker´s head open like a walnut. And Trayvon would still be here - - to walk among us and inspire us all.
And, oh yeah - - to bust into a few more condos, fence the swag he grabbed, and buy himself an even bigger gold grill.

And what, exactly, is the mission of the "Justice for Trayvon Martin´ Foundation? Were the donations used to buy the expensive clothes his parents were wearing to the dinner? Clothes that they never would have had if not for the death of their son and their cashing in on it? Next will come the book no one will read about a kid no one knew. Enough already.

This whole incident is so political it makes me sick every time I hear about it. Why have they from the beginning been using a picture of an innocent 10 year old boy to portray this thug? Why don´t they show the actual picture of what he looked like when it happened? Zimmerman will never get a fair trial with all these race baitors running the show. He had every right to defend himself from this druggie thug.

This family is very angry they don´t have anybody to sue fo rwrongful death so this dinner is a way to weasel money out of sympathizers.Who´s in charge of the foundation and what are it´s goals?
Not one person has ever asked why this neighborhood needed a watch captain to begin with. There had to be a history of break ins,car theft or something.If Tray was simply going to a 7-11 for a bag of Skittles,why did he lurk and parade around this neighborhood. Didn´t he have breaking and entering tools in his locker?
The prosecutor has already sent out warnings to not attack the victim and are blocking his juvenile records from Zimmerman´s defense team.
The other lie the media started was this was a white neighborhood when it´s been proven since,it´s a racially balanced one.NBC edited the 911 calls to frame Zimmerman in the public´s mind and they should have to pay millions in damages.

New York - Police say a gunman used anti-gay slurs before fatally shooting a 32-year-old man in New York City´s Greenwich (GREN´-ich) Village. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Saturday that the shooting, which occurred just after midnight, appears to have been a hate crime. Kelly says the gunman was seen urinating on the street outside a bar. He says the man went into the bar, made anti-gay remarks to the bartender and showed the bartender that he was wearing a holster with a silver pistol.

Beirut, Lebanon — President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, in a rare interview with a foreign newspaper, appeared to dismiss the possibility of serious progress arising from peace talks planned for next month, and to back away from earlier statements by Syrian officials that the government was willing to negotiate with its armed opponents. “We do not believe that many Western countries really want a solution in Syria,” Mr. Assad told Argentina’s Clarín newspaper in an interview published online on Saturday, blaming those countries for supporting “terrorists” fighting his government.

In 1953, the celebrated chemist Linus Pauling, already on track for a Nobel Prize for his work on chemical bonds, solved a major biochemical mystery by figuring out the structure of DNA—but his solution was utterly wrong. Later that decade, the brilliant astrophysicist Fred Hoyle, who had played a major role in discovering how new elements are forged in the core of the Sun, came up with an explanation for the expanding universe. It was known as the “steady-state” theory, and while it was ingenious, it was wrong too. In the early 1900’s Lord Kelvin, one of the founders of thermodynamics,

Seoul - North Korea fired three short-range missiles from its east coast on Saturday, South Korea´s Defence Ministry said, prompting Western powers to urge Pyongyang to exercise restraint. Launches by the North of short-range missiles are not uncommon but, after recent warnings from the communist state of impending nuclear war, such actions raise concerns about the region´s security. "North Korea fired short-range guided missiles twice in the morning and once in the afternoon off its east coast," an official at the South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman's office said by telephone.

An investigation of the Justice Department’s witness protection program uncovered glaring security problems that allowed terrorists who had been given new identities after cooperating with U.S. prosecutors to board commercial flights in the United States. In some cases, suspects whose names were on federal watchlists meant to keep them off commercial aircraft were nevertheless able to board flights because the Justice Department had failed to add their new, government-issued identities to counterterrorism databases. Overall, the Department of Justice Inspector General concluded that there

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans. The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said.
