I'm beginning to think Pratt has a sexual thing with his guns.

Larry Pratt: 'Probably What Killed' Trayvon Martin Was His 'Broken Family'

Submitted by Miranda on Friday, 11/8/2013 12:40 pm

In an interview with NewsMax’s Steve Malzberg yesterday, Gun Owners of American executive director Larry Pratt said that Trayvon Martin was killed because he had a “broken family.” Pratt and Malzberg were discussing last week’s Senate hearing on Stand Your Ground laws, at which Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton gave impassioned testimony. At the hearing, Sen. Ted Cruz dismissed Fulton’s testimony as “simply mourning the loss of your son” and asserted that Stand Your Ground laws in fact “protect those in African-American communities.” The gun activist and radio host heartily agreed with Cruz. “Had she looked at the numbers, she would have found that as a percentage of blacks compared to a percentage of whites…” Pratt began. Malzberg finished his sentence: “The laws benefit the African-American community down there more so than they do the white community, you’re right.” In fact, a Tampa Bay Times analysis of Stand Your Ground cases in Florida found substantial racial disparities in the application of the law, including that “people who killed a black person walked free 73 percent of the time, while those who killed a white person went free 59 percent of the time.” A national study found a similar disparity. Pratt concluded that Fulton had it all wrong and “probably what killed her son was the broken family that he was forced to deal with. That’s often an indicator that a young man is going to have trouble, of either race, of any race.”

1. I really hate effing America

We suck. We suck when shit like this gets said. Wait for it - in a day or two - you'll have some sleaze bags even at DU coming in here to agree with this f*cknut!

[11 Bravo]

6. I do not.

But I fucking despise Larry Pratt.
And if anyone crawls out from under a rock to voice support for this shitstain, I guarantee they will receive their pizza within minutes.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. I hope like hell they do

There's a reason WHY this is acceptable to this man to say . . . He knows we (African Americans) are fair game. We've been fair game for so long - that it's just acceptable now.

[leftynyc]

11. Because we have some assholes?

Can you name a country in the entire world that doesn't?

[JustAnotherGen]

12. No

Just feeling the hate more these days. Husband and I had a run in yesterday with one of 'these people'.

Being a black woman in America means you have everything questioned.

Even your PRECISE knowlege of why your son was murdered and by whom.

Even why you might look down your nose at your country.

Deal with it - be black woman in America and then get back to me. In the meantime -don't tell ME how to feel. You don't know my life or my experience so back off. No offense - just being honest.

ETA - I'm going to cross post this in AA forum this weekend. It really sticks in my craw that this WHITE MAN felt he had any reason to tell the black woman ANYTHING about herself, her life, her son. But black women - we're fair game - though we know far more about white men in America than they will eveeeeeeeeeeer know about us.

14. I didn't tell you how to feel

and resent you putting words in my mouth. I asked you a simple question.

[JustAnotherGen]

15. And I gave you a simple answer

And you have to accept it.

So take what you need, leave the rest, and move along.

[onehandle]

2. How is a broken home like a paranoid gun humping wife abuser? nt

[11 Bravo]

8. Because ... FREEDOM! And ... 2ND AMENDMENT! And ... OTHER STUFF!

I hope you understand now.

[hatrack]

3. So, if your parents got divorced, you deserve to die?

FUCK YOU, Pratt. FUCK YOU.

[shraby]

4. Martin was killed by Zimmerman. Period. Nuf said.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. The only 'trouble' Trayvon had was a nutcase, gun-loving, wife beating idiot

out on a rainy night looking to be a local hero.

[Ranchemp.]

7. His "broken home" shot him?

I thought all along it was G. Zimmermann.
No wonder Zim was acquitted.

Bottom line-Zim shot and killed him, not some broken home.

[gollygee]

10. His "broken home" didn't stalk him and then shoot him

A person stalked him and then shot him.

[malaise]

13. Racist pig

or does this also apply to Joe Scarborough's kids? He's had two divorces so far.
I hate racists.

[frylock]

16. guns don't kill people, broken homes do..

you read it here first, folks. fuck larry pratt with the red-hot barrel of an ar-15.

[spanone]

17. no larry. he was killed by a bullet from a gun from a wannabe policeman.
