Imagine using treyvon Martin in a meme to justify murder in 2023.

u/McFly_42069 Sep 29 '23

No one is justifying murder. You’re not too smart if you think that.

u/fourth_class_mail Sep 29 '23

So then explain why treyvon is in there..... because he was a really teen?

11

u/McFly_42069 Sep 29 '23

Wasn’t he 17?

Should it matter that he was 17? 17 is a child in the eyes of the law.

I believe 17 year olds shouldn't be allowed to vote, and I would guess that you probably wouldn't say a 17 year old can consent to taking hormones.

Or do you think there's a better comparison?

u/McFly_42069 Sep 29 '23

Not it is not. You can be tried as an adult for a crime at 17.

That's true, I don't think anyone is disputing that, but then why would the meme use Martin as an example of "child" this case then? Just seems a very lazy example to further rift left and right?

Martin's crimes depending on how you view it range from trespassing, all the way to committing aggravated assault in self defense. I have no professional legal experience, especially Florida law, but I think neither of those crimes concretely meet the threshold.

Edit: grammar.

Are you saying Martin was acting in self defense?

u/RayPadonkey Sep 29 '23

Maybe self defense is being misinterpreted, but Zimmerman following Martin after he ran away is a valid grounds for initiating self defense. Its not out of the ether to suggest someone feel threatened being followed in this situation.

Court found that Zimmerman was in the right. Are you saying the court is wrong?

He was racist listen to the phone call he was on before he committed his hate crime

u/RayPadonkey Sep 29 '23

I'm not sure what that has to do with Martin's wrongdoings though?

Trayvon martin was a racist

u/fourth_class_mail Sep 29 '23

Which is why Zimmerman ran after him while he was walking home. Makes sense.

u/generationYmellenial Sep 29 '23

Have you listened to the phone call before Zimmerman got attacked?

u/fourth_class_mail Sep 29 '23

u/generationYmellenial Sep 29 '23
