Trayvon Martin's Email And Facebook Accounts Hacked By White Supremacist

[Beet]

A white supremacist hacker claims to have broken into Trayvon Martin's email and social networking accounts and posted his private messages online.

"I realize that some of this information might be to [sic] extreme to believe," a hacker named Klanklannon wrote, according to Gawker, which has an original copy of the message thread posted to the popular, unruly message board 4chan. "That's why I offer you evidence. Here are my sources."

Editor's note: Some readers may find language in this article objectionable.

A slide posted to the message board titled "Trayvon Martin Used Marijuana Habitually," apparently shows a conversation between Martin and a friend about getting high. Another alleged that Martin was a drug dealer and showed a picture of Martin standing "aggressively with a large amount of cash in his hand."

Gawker reported that Klankannon shared several of Martin's usernames and email accounts on the thread. The hacker also said that the passwords had been changed to racist slurs like "nnn" and "coontrayvonn."

Slate's political reporter Dave Weigel, who has long covered the conservative movement, said that the misattributed photo was "part of a new cottage industry of 'truth about Trayvon' content, calibrated to convince people that they really shouldn't worry about the implications of this killing."

"Why, the kid wasn't even a saint!" Weigel said of the logic of such conservative sites. "He might have been shot after brawling with the man who creeply [sic] followed him around the gated community?"

But Gawker's Adrian Chen wrote that the attempts to smear Martin have backfired "because the picture they paint is of a normal high school junior preparing for college."

A screenshot of Trayvon's Gmail inbox our source provided us is heartbreaking. Martin apparently used his Gmail account for his college search, and it's filled with emails about upcoming SAT tests and scholarship applications. ("Trayvon, now is the best time to take the SATs!") One email included the results of a career aptitude test, our source said. It "talked about his interest in aeronautics and stuff."

So it's not enough that the boy was hunted down and executed in cold blood, the mob has to also desicrate his memory and make sure that all of America remembers him as a vicious, n*gger thug who deserved to die.

So if a postpubescent 15 year old girl gets raped, we're not allowed to say it was child rape? Come on.

There a few a things in a person's background that could have bearing on the case, such as if they have a history of violence (as Zimmerman does-- once for assaulting a police officer and once for domestic violence). However, what the person looks like, whether they used marijuana, or whether he had cash in his hand is totally irrelevant to the case. If you object to anyone's saying he was a model student, then go ahead and reply specifically when that is brought up in a manner proportional to the import that it is given by the person who brings it up. Say "well, it's not relevant whether he was a model student or not." That's fair. Spamming the internet with this vomit in order to desecrate the memory of a murdered child, and implying that negative stereotypes makes one guilty in the process, is the worst thing you can do.
