Ohio’s Finest: After 13 Years, Congresswoman Blames Trayvon Martin’s Death on Police Brutality

George Zimmerman found not guilty in shooting death of Trayvon Martin (Miami Herald)

Thirteen years ago today, Trayvon Martin, at 17 years old, was wrongfully killed in an act of police brutality that shook the nation and brought vital awareness to the racially motivated violence that plagues our country. Today, and every day, let us continue the fight for racial equity and speak out against the hate that divides us. My love and prayers go out to his family.

UPDATE: Congresswoman Beatty has since deleted her tweet, but you can still see it here.

    1. You are correct sir. I might add that ignorance can be cured…if…one is smart enough to admit they just might be wrong. In this case the woman is loyal to her skin color and will make all her decisions based on that rather than facts and reason. Same thing when voting. I call it The Lemmings syndrome. They seem to be hopeless.

        “Everyone knows there are 7.62 ways to stop stupid”

        The .9mm is the most lethal round of them all…

        1. “The .9mm is the most lethal round of them all…”

          And should be banned by the Geneva Convention, with all signatories mandated to do the same in their countries.

          .9mm ammo and firearms can escape detection by any known firearms detection technology.

          1. Take a box on 9mm to Turks & Cacos & see just how undetectable it is…..enjoy your extended “vacation”

  1. They live in their own reality where the number one cause of death for black people is police.
    Come August we’ll hear about the anniversary of Chadwick Boseman losing his life to police brutality.

    1. The real fight in some districts is in the primary. No one pays attention to the primary. Get in good with the politically connected to make it through the primary, and you’re guaranteed a victory in the general election in certain districts. At that point, most people are voting for D or R. It doesn’t matter how stupid the candidate is. That’s how we’ve ended up with such morons in congress. How many tens of millions voted for a drooling puppet for the POTUS? I doubt it was eight, but one would be embarrassing.

        “No one pays attention to the primary. Get in good with the politically connected to make it through the primary, and you’re guaranteed a victory in the general election in certain districts.”

        The smart ones do. That’s the best time the hijack the chances of the really politically-dangerous ones, and hand the election to the easily-manipulated fuckwits, to use at your pleasure…

      2. “No one pays attention to the primary.”

        Huh? They’s primaries? What about secondaries? IIRC, all centerfire ammo has primaries.
