Snopes

They cover the pic thing too.

Dave, Martin was just barely 17 when he ran away from an armed Zimmerman that he told his friend that he was afraid off. He wasn't doing anything wrong and we only have Zimmerman's word about how the fight started. Zimmerman was found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt but that hardly makes his version of how the fight started true.


Why do you insist on painting Treyvon Martin as a child?

Even 5'11 158 is a decent size. Also Martin was an athlete.

He was far from harmless.

I wish Treyvon had lived, but not at Zimmerman's expense.



Martin was a kid. Just barely 17 by a couple of weeks when Zimmerman killed him. As for his height, 5'11 and 158lbs makes for a skinny kid. I suspect that's why conservatives sometime lie and make him 6'4 and heavier and even posting pics of some other older black guy. Check out the picture in snopes of Martin and he looks like a kid that just went through a growth spurt. Gangly with thin long arms and legs.

Fair play!
