Activist Dick Gregory Asks Tough Questions About Trayvon Martin Case… [VIDEO]

Mar, 27 2012 | Written by ATLien
Social activist Dick Gregory is 80 years old but he’s still sharp enough to catch the things that most people overlook when there’s been an injustice done in the world.

Gregory recently spoke to a crowd gathered in Washington, DC on March 24, 2012, for the “No Justice No Peace” rally for Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teen shot by an over zealous neighborhood watchman.

The message Dick Gregory spoke while rocking a hoodie for the first time in his 80 years, was in depth but simple nonetheless…

“Stop being emotional and start demanding answers!”

Gregory posed tough questions to the crowd about Martin’s case, such as “why wasn’t the footage from the convenience store ever requested?” or ‘Who are all these random witnesses coming forward?’ ‘How the hell was Trayvon Martin murdered less than 70 feed from his home?’ and most importantly, “Why hasn’t Trayvon’s killer – George Zimmerman – been brought to justice?”

Watch the video below…

  Yeah. Why didn’t they request the store surveillance? Was he murdered somewhere else and placed feet away from his home? Dick Gregory’s statements got me wondering now.

  Maybe in video it showed Zimmerman following Trayvon even at the store. I’m attending a rally this Friday a lot of people are Talking about the situation but not Doing anything.

  Mr. Dick Gregory always bring the truth!
- ChiTownDiva
  
  I respect D. Gregory, but the real question is how you gon be murdered 70 feet from your daddy girlfriend house and nobody in your family knew you were dead?? That boy’s body lay in the morgue 3 days before it was identified by his mother. Conspiracy Theories only distract you from your own knowledge of the truth. Has anybody read the police report?? So why make make Zimmerman’s past relevant but not Trayvons?? The case in and of itself is truly said. #justice

  Since he mentioned the video surveillance I’m wondering if the reason it’s not in evidence is that maybe they already viewed it and noticed George Zimmerman followed him there too

  THERE NEEDS TO BE ANSWERS!!!! That’s all the family is asking for and I pray they get it.I have no idea why people think its OK to shoot someone over color & a hoodie.Please America know not all white people are so ignorant.

  Yes! This case sickens me. Just when you think we’ve mad LITTLE progress, we are always painfully reminded that we haven’t. I pray for the family of Trayvon. May the brother rest in peace.

  Thanks for posting this! I am so glad Dick Gregory is involved. He has don so much to bring awareness to injustice all over the world… He always challenges his listeners to THINK for themselves. Again thanks because you have done a great thing by posting this…

  Oh yes and to prove his point we KNOW for a fact Trayvon had his cell phone when he went to the store because it has been verified he was on the phone with his girlfriend when Zimmerman was following him. How did he lay in the morgue unidentified for 3 days?!

  Something is really wrong with this story.They no this is not the trutth.Whats done in the dark will come out in light.God got the last say so.That was his child.
- falconPride
  
  I have a few questions if someone would please clear this up for me. Where was Trayvon’s dad when the shots were fired and neighbors were calling 911? Did he inquire about the gun shots the night of since it was only a few feet away from where his girlfriend live? Did he come out to see what the commotion was about the night of? Why did Trayvon lay in a morgue for 3 days, did his parents not wonder where he was for 3 days of not hearing from him? Was there any record of his parents trying to call his cell after missing for three days? I’m by no means justifying what Zimmerman did, there is a right way of doing things. I feel that Zimmerman instigated, provoked and stalked Trayvon. You can’t get mad and kill someone because you were asked "why are you following me", then you being tough, end up getting beat up so THEN you claim self defense b/c he got the best of you so you shoot him. Zimmerman in my heart is guilty on some many levels. To me, not some much about race as it is about being someone’s child, that’s right a child, that you wanted to pick on and lie your way out of the situation since you are not getting the heroic reaction that you thought you would. If this had not been nationwide you would be moving on to the next victim. Thank God for Jesus and people being saved for your sake Zimmerman.

  @falconpride As stated in the video, his dad was calling the police over the 3 day period to report him as missing. He actually called hte next morning. He was out that night and got in late. When he woke up, Trayvon was not there. That’s when he made his first call.

  I love this man.

  @ theone, thank you!!

  Martin did not lay in the morgue unidentified. Here is Trayvon’s father on TV, at the shooting scene, talking to reporters the day after Trayvon died saying it was his son who got shot.

  the kid was murdered and to be honest i thought travon got what he deserved until a photo was released of his body along with the 911 calls he made and the photos taken at the police station and the next day reinactment his story did not match with the evidence .the first 911 call zimmerman mentioned to the dispatcher it makes sense then why he had the hoody on, on one of the news channels the reporter stated that zimmerman was a SELF APPOINTED NEIGHBOR WATCH,he never once identified himself he followed the kid hell id be panicked myself especially when walking down the unlighted walk way to find the kids body they needed a flash light when the police came they used the headlights on their cars so how the hell did the witness see anything ? SO HOW DID TRAYVON SEE ZIMMERMANS GUN???? ive downed loaded all the pictures to see if there was any light there was no street lights .the witness is lying , remember what i stated earlier IT WAS RAINING IF YOUR IN A BATTLE THERE WOULD BE TWIST PULL MARKS ON THE CLOTHING there was none he also said they were rolling around on the grass where are the wet marks or mud zimmerman had none , trayon did on his knees which means he was standing when he was shot further proof of that is the blood from the wound it flowed down ward . with zimmerman he said trayvon was banging his head on the walkway no blood was found ,there is even more things to prove zimmerman lied
