Martin/Zimmerman Trial Summary

For those who did not follow the trial, here is a brief summary, compiled from CBS, CNN, and MSNBC news reports

· Eighth grade honor student Trayvon Martin is walking home from church, eager to do his homework.

· Aryan Nation member George Zimmerman is driving around in his pickup truck with Confederate flag license plate and decals.

· Zimmerman spots Martin in the dark by the light glowing from the little boy’s halo.

· The Klansman takes chase, hunting Trayvon down like a dog.

· The budding football star nearly outruns the racist, but he stops when he comes to a “Do Not Enter” sign.

· Unwilling to disobey a lawful sign, he turns to face his attacker.

· The child attempts to reason with his attacker, but the illiterate power-mad cop-wannabe is not inclined to listen to reason or pleas for compassion.

· Despite numerous specific orders from police officers to not leave his vehicle, Zimmerman exits his truck and says, “Any last words, nigger?”

· “Praise Jesus. God bless you, Sir,” replies the helpless youngster.

· Zimmerman drags the future Nobel Peace Prize winner on top of him.

· A witness sees the youngster repeatedly swinging his arms, apparently attempting to make the sign of the cross.

· “White-Hispanic Power!” screams Zimmerman, as he empties the high-capacity clip loaded with armor-piercing hollow-point bullets from his semi-automatic assault gun with shoulder thing that goes up into the boy.

· Zimmerman then fiendishly punches himself in the face, breaking his nose, and repeatedly bangs his head on the sidewalk while screaming “Help me! Help me!” which obviously is a secret racist code for “Heil Hitler.”

· When he is finished murdering Martin, Zimmerman gets back into his gas-guzzling, globe-warming pickup truck and makes his escape.

· The last thing poor Trayvon sees before he dies is the “Bush-Cheney 2004” bumper sticker.
