Trayvon Martin case looms over beating of...

"[Get] that white [man]. This is for Trayvon ... Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man]," the boys are quoted as saying in a police report cited by the Toledo Blade.

I find the following the most interesting, because without knowing all the facts and before all the evidence was in, the media AND Obama, rushed to judgment. Now we see that some of the reports in the media were not only inaccurate, they were edited deliberately to make the case look like something it was not. Those calling for vigilante justice might want to wait until all the facts and evidence are in.

Three of the six youths have been charged in the case, but police interviews didn't yield enough evidence to support hate crime charges, FoxToledo.com reported.

Key point in Trayvon Martin case; we don't yet know all the facts and the investigation is not complete!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint you, but the point of the article was that the young kids who beat the crap out of the old guy, TOLD him they were doing it FOR Trayvon Martin. You didn't understand that...read again.

No, you did not get my point. Sorry to disappoint you sir, but it appears the youths were caught and will go to the court. So , we are to blame the entire Martikn protest which has been pretty much under control for the actions of idiots?? BTW I wore a hoodie for Travon martin and so did many of my former co-workers. We did not beat up an old white man and some of us were white. Did we also miss your point????

I had relatives who were hurt (some badly) while marching in the 60's South. The attackers blamed MLK. There are no smart mobs. So what's your point.

BTW if I sound 12 to you sometimes it may be that some of your post seem so, well, 11 year oldish. Thanks for the civil conversation anyway.
