‘Racially Motivated’: Black Attackers Allegedly Yell ‘Trayvon’ Before Beating White Man

Gainesville, Florida, police are investigating what they believe may have been a “racially motivated” attack early Tuesday morning stemming from the nationally covered Trayvon Martin case involving the tragic death of an unarmed 17-year-old.
According to local news affiliates, a 27-year-old Gainesville man was walking home from the bars early Tuesday morning when he said he was jumped by five to eight men who yelled “Trayvon” before the attack. The call before the attack appears to be in reference to the Sandford case that has rocked national headlines, and led to broader societal discussions on crime and race. News4Jax reports:
Gainesville investigators told The Gainesville Sun that they believe Tuesday morning’s attack stemmed from the Martin case.
“We do believe that the crime was racially motivated,” Gainesville Police Department spokeswoman Cpl. Angelina Valuri said.
Valuri said the victim was white and the attackers were black.
Police said the victim had been drinking, so the only description he had of the attackers or their vehicle was that is was a mid-size vehicle. But Valuri did say that the victim’s injuries were consistent with being jumped by a group.
The victim told police that he was beaten for five minutes. He had injuries to his left eye, abrasions to his palms and a cut on his right knee cap. Valuri said he would likely have permanent damage to the left side of his face. He was taken to Shands Gainesville for treatment.
The Gainesville Sun reports that the attack occurred at about 2:45a.m. The victim told police that the group of men got out of a car and told him he was walking too slowly, before yelling ‘Trayvon” and attacking.
The Sandford case has attracted national outcry for the case involved the shooting death of an unarmed black teen walking back from a 7-11 with Skittles and an ice tea. The teen’s shooter, a half-white, half-Hispanic man, has not yet been arrested and seeking possibly defense under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law.
In addition to the Gainesville attack Tuesday, the Sandford case has led to several instances of what some have called “race-bating,” threats of violence, and racially-charged rhetoric by media commentators, groups or individuals in the name of Trayvon Martin.
Members of the New Black Panthers party have emerged and called for vigilante justice and preparation for a “race war”in the name of Martin, despite the wishes of the boy’s father. At the other side of the spectrum, the National Socialist Movement (NSM); a neo-nazi group, has reportedly brought armed patrols to Sandford to protect the locals, specifically whites who they claim are “concerned for their safety.”
Florida State Attorney Angela Corey announced Monday that there will be no grand jury in the investigation of the Martin shooting.

Although the scenario is always the same because Satan has no new tricks since the old ones work well enough every time. However when the masses move to give themselves over to a charismatic leader such as BHO, then you must know your in for trouble esp if you know your history. But thats just it isn’t it? People no longer know their history esp that of communist regimes and who Hitler really was and stood for. The Left has painted all these horrible atrocities on the Right and the ones they could not they simply ignore and do not teach.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – More than 800 thousand Floridians have permits to carry a concealed weapon. That’s according to the Florida Department of Agriculture, which issues the licenses.
Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam says they’ve hired 46 full-time employees just to handle the workload, which is now in record territory.
He says the last two months have seen the highest numbers.
“In fact, 53,000 in one month is a record,” he said, admitting he didn’t know what was driving this growth spurt.
Dixie County has the most concealed carry permits per capita. Nearly 10 percent of the residents of that county have a concealed weapon permit, and that’s more than double the state average.
Commissioner Putnam says he is not troubled by these figures, nor by the growing number of Floridians who think they need to carry a gun to be safe.
He adds that permit-holders tend to be law-abiding because the state has their fingerprints on file.
Of the more than 800 thousand permits than have been issued so far, only 168 have been revoked because the license holder committed a crime.

It is in my opinion that the whites have tried to bring unity more so than the blacks. Blacks are raised by their parents (parent) to not take any crap from whitey and to pack a attitude with them everywhere they go and throughout their lives. Now we have a president, half black- half white, that is inciting riots and an Eric Holder that also condones this. Sharpton and Jackson, along with the Panthers need to be positive speakers among their followers instead of taking the law into their own hands and putting out wanted posters. They are definately looking to cause trouble and I hope they aren’t chewing off more than they can handle.

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 10:36amTALLAHASSEE, Fla. – More than 800 thousand Floridians have permits to carry a concealed weapon. That’s according to the Florida Department of Agriculture, which issues the licenses.
Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam says they’ve hired 46 full-time employees just to handle the workload, which is now in record territory.
He says the last two months have seen the highest numbers.
“In fact, 53,000 in one month is a record,” he said, admitting he didn’t know what was driving this growth spurt.
Dixie County has the most concealed carry permits per capita. Nearly 10 percent of the residents of that county have a concealed weapon permit, and that’s more than double the state average.
Commissioner Putnam says he is not troubled by these figures, nor by the growing number of Floridians who think they need to carry a gun to be safe.
He adds that permit-holders tend to be law-abiding because the state has their fingerprints on file.
Of the more than 800 thousand permits than have been issued so far, only 168 have been revoked because the license holder committed a crime.

They better be careful what they wish for.
