Geraldo Rivera Blames Hoodie For Trayvon Martin’s Death.

The Trayvon Martin case has blown up this week gaining worldwide attention. On a rainy Sunday night, February 26th, 2012 17-year-old Trayvon Martin walked to his father’s home in Sanford, Florida which is located in a gated community of The Retreat at Twin Lakes. Neighborhood Watchman George Zimmerman spotted Trayvon on his walk home, called 911 and began following him. ‘We’ve had some break-ins in the neighborhood and this guy looks suspicious’, Zimmerman told the 911 operator. Zimmerman who has reportedly made over 45 calls to 911 since January 2011 caught up to Trayvon and gunned him down. Zimmerman has not been charged for the killing as he has claimed self-defense. Rallies have been held this week in New York and Florida demanding justice. Geraldo Rivera spoke about Trayvon Martin on ‘Fox & Friends’ this morning stating, ‘Trayvon’s hoodie played a role in his own death’. Geraldo urges that parents of black and latino kids to ‘not let their children go out wearing hoodies unless their in a track meet or it’s raining out’, which is was that Sunday night almost one month ago. President Obama called the event a tragedy stating, ‘When I think about Trayvon, I think about my own kids’, ‘If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon’, not revealing too much but assuring the case will be investigated to the fullest extent.
