Trayvon Martin Debate - Clintwood, VA

act like a thug die like a thug! where was this kids parents at this time and why was he out running the streets at this time of night?

act like a thug and then you will die like a thug!

Wow! You do not know anything about this young man and you are calling him a thug. From all the information that has been coming out on the case, it seems that he was just a guy walking down the street. If someone I didn't know started chasing me I would run and if caught fight back. I hope justice is served in this case!

im a parent that knows where my kids are and what they are doing.
i would most definately know why my child was expelled from school and where he was at knight.
my childrens facebook page doesnt resemble an add for gangster wannabes.
act the thug get shot down like a thug. hits the gold grill.

this kid might have been the sweetest boy around, in the front row at church twice a week. it's all for not cause the boy the world sees is what he was putting out there on the social media and at school. thats all that will be heard about.

Reguardless of what Treyvon might have been like, he made the choice to have the image of a gang thug. You go out walking in the dark wearing a hoodie like a criminal and people are not going to think that you were choir singing. You never see on the news that someone was robbed or carjacked by someone wearing a suit or a cowboy hat. He paid the price of "being cool" that is shown in rap videos. Have you even seen a thug run for Congress? Trayvons death was tragic, but it should be a wake-up call for America's youth. You can not walk around like a thug in todays society with the drugs and crime and expect nothing to happen. Get an education and work for your life. Don't think that you can steal or rap about money and ho's to make a living.

i seen a thug run for president and get elected. he has bullied and forced bills thru congress with threats to take away money and aid to states.
i guess it doesn't matter if your role model is a street thug or president of the united states. a thug aint nothing but a thug with a hoodie on or a suite on.

I think that there is a lot about this case that hasn't been brought to light...So until I know all the facts I can't really state an opinion.....

I don't know the facts of this case and I don't know what Martin was wearing or if he was trying to be cool and dressing in gansta style. But I do know this. Last night I saw a TV program about the rampant cell phone theft crime that is going on in some of our major cities. Video was show and I must say that all the criminals who were hitting, knocking down, and stomping young and old victims were black and a good number of them were wearing hoodies. People have complained on these forums about racial profiling. How could a person--black or white NOT racially profile. Day after day the news is filled with young black criminals who have robbed, killed or maimed other folks, both black and white. Maybe Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton should turn their attention on that instead of complaining about the result of the crime...which is fear of meeting young black men on dark streets.

they are tought from they day they are born.
1) the check comes in the mail every month
2) the food is free
3) if you want something dont bother earning it just take it!
4)breed and the check will get bigger.
5) if you want something no need to earn it just take it.

and you wonder why our prisons are over run with people mostly blacks. and people are scared when they see a colored guy at night with a hood up. he is hiding his face cause he is up to no good.

Damn! I lived in the city my whole life and even the white boys wear hoodies..You seriously need to get out of Clintwood a little more!!!!!!!!!!Oh and if u are scared to walk down a dark alley cuz of a black man in a hoodie u wouldn't be able to leave your house in most city's......That's the most ridiculous shit I ever heard!!!!!!!!FYI us whites ain't no better.Look at all the serial killers hum what color are they???????

i got nothing againt a black person! however i do have a problem with the wanna be gangbangers and wanna be thugs tring to take what they want instead of working for it. living their lives off of welfare and hand outs selling drugs. bigg bigg problem with this

I am shocked by some of these comments-- when did we become a society who thinks it's okay to kill a 17 year old kid just because of the way he carries himself?!
