Dead Teenager And No Arrest

By pandora March 17, 201218 Comments

I’ve been following this story for the past week, and I’m surprised by how long it’s taken the national media to cover it.

Trayvon Martin was killed in Sanford, Florida last week three weeks ago. He was killed by a Neighborhood Watch member, who followed him for several minutes, and called Sanford 911 to report a person acting suspiciously. That person was a 140lb African American teenager who was in the gated community visiting his father and step mother. When he called 911, the Neighborhood Watch member, George Zimmerman, was told not to approach or engage the person he was following. Instead, he killed Trayvon Martin with a handgun. Trayvon had a can of soda and a bag of skittles. You get to guess which ethnic group George Zimmerman is NOT a member of.

Mitt Romney recently had this to say about the documentary on Obama's first term directed by Davis Guggenheim:

“I’ll give you some help, Mr. Guggenheim,” Romney said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “You can make a call to some of the moms that are having a hard time paying for gas as they get their kids to and from school and practice and music lessons. And you can also talk to the people who are having a hard time getting to and from work, given the price of gasoline.”

Delaware Political Weekly: March 10-16, 2012, feat. BREAKING NEWS!

Rich Krett has withdrawn from the NCCo Executive race because his candidacy apparently would be a Hatch Act violation. This sounds like dirty tricks on the part of Paul Clark. Put the guy's name on a Federal grant application w/o his knowledge, and then threaten him with a Hatch Act violation. I wish Krett would stand and fight, but people simply can't afford to throw away their livelihoods, and I understand why he feels he can't.
