Geraldo Rivera on Trayvon Martin

Rivera has been very open about his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin case before saying the hoodie represented ‘thug wear’.

Now, he has gone as far as saying if Trayvon would have just explained himself to Zimmerman, who questioned him and presence in his neighborhood, this possibly wouldn’t have happened.

It seems as though to Geraldo Rivera it doesn’t matter, that Zimmerman still approached Martin when he was told not to, or Trayvon was doing nothing more than walking while black.

“If he had taken that d-mn hood off his head, if he and Zimmerman had only spoken…don’t you think that could have avoided this awful tragedy?” says Rivera.

Trayvon Martin’s family’s attorney, Benjamin Crump, asked the question:

“You mean to tell me if Mark Zuckerberg was walking through the gated community, he could be profiled by George Zimmerman? What’s the difference between the two?”
