My Take On The Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman Situation




As soon as the Zimmerman verdict came out my phone was ringing off the hook from people wanting me to comment on the situation.
Here’s my take. I’m going to go back in time and go over some facts that the media left out. Zimmerman truly does live in a gated community (see picture below). What was Trayvon doing in this gated community? He was trespassing. He would of had to hop the fence. He wasn’t cutting through to get home. He was casing the place and looking for stuff to steal.

From January 1, 2011 through February 26, 2012, police were called to Zimmerman’s association 402 times. During the 18 months preceding the February 26 shooting, Zimmerman called the non-emergency police line seven times. On five of those calls, Zimmerman reported suspicious looking men in the area, but never offered the men's race without first being asked by the dispatcher. Crimes committed at the association in the year prior to Martin's death included eight burglaries, nine thefts, and one shooting. The residents said there were dozens of reports of attempted break-ins, which had created an atmosphere of fear in their neighborhood.

Zimmerman, a property owner in the association had every right to see what Trayvon was doing. All Trayvon had to do was say he was sorry for trespassing and leave. Instead he wanted to be a thug and attack George.

It’s not about race or gun rights it about respecting private property and being respectful to other people. The media keeps calling Trayvon a kid. Maybe the kid should have respected the adult. 

I don't look at Trayvon as a victim. I look at him as a trespasser and an attempted murderer. He could have murdered George Zimmerman.

You want to blame somebody. Blame Trayvon and his two absent parents.


Zimmerman's Association. How did Trayvon get in?
