"He was gonna be an astronaut!" -The new line for every criminal killed during the commission of a crime

*eye roll*

Is this Obama's son Trayvon ?

The one who would have been charged with attempted murder or murder if not stopped in his tracks?

When they are talking about flight suit, was it something he was wearing when he ran from the cops one time?

Everyone knows Trayvon was a straight A honor student with exception math and science capabilities.

If that is a "flightsuit" I'll eat my hat.

1. Identify a respected institution.
2. kill it.
3. gut it.
4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.#lefties

Or he would have been another statistic in the Florida prison system.

Astronaut or convict, tough choice... Not.

It's weird how some people will treat a rando tweet as gospel as long as it conforms to their worldview.

Is that an actual picture of him wearing that uhm, "flight suit" sometime in the past or was it shopped? They're making up so much crap that I can't separate the fiction from the outright lies...

Let's check in and ask his victims what they were going to be.

I see you are unfamiliar with Gramsci and Horkheimer.

Isn't it funny that they always show these really young innocent photos of him and not what he looked like at the time or the fact that he started the fight?

I'm sorry the kid died from the attack but if he hadn't started it, he wouldn't be dead.

And I'm saying that fully knowing that George Zimmerman was scum too.

Not a rando. Iowa hawk is a legend

I guess future astronaut sounds a lot better than punkass, doper, teen who posted pics with his weed and Glock, got smoked by an over zealous, rent a cop Mexer, after he jumped him and repeatedly bashed his head in to the asphalt.

Someone doesn't know who IowaHawk Is? LOL.

I think it was sometime before the 2008 election when Rush discovered Iowahawk's tweets and blog. I had been following him since 2005? I thinK.

Great writer, thinker and REALLY into cars.

It's so totally rando that it keeps getting posted and re-tweeted over seven years later. Totally rando.

Real flight suits have long sleeves. The kid in the image is wearing a mechanic's coveralls.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
-George Orwell

Can't wait to see the new wing of the museum to memorialize the childhood dreams of the victims of violence in Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Philadelphia...

Iowa Hawkeyes legendary. He's been posting awesome things for years and not just political.

Do your homework, son.

He was going to be an astronaut until he decided to pound a guy's skull into the concrete. Then he found out.

His life was ended FOFO.

Iowahawk is pure greatness. This is my favorite post ever by him. It was about when the Obama administration targeted Gibson Guitars for Importing fretboard blanks of exotic woods from India rather than fully finished fretboard and necks (IIRC) and raided their factoryand confiscated lumber.

New Scandal at DoJ as Illegal Guitars End Up In Hands of Mexican Drug Lords

Say 'ello to my leetle fren':
axe confiscated in border
rawk-out

WASHINGTON - Today's uncovering of secret multi-agency program for shipping illegal Gibson guitars to Mexican drug cartels left red-faced officials of the U.S. Department of Justice scrambling for an explanation amid angry calls for a Congressional investigation.

"I have ordered all agency personnel to fully cooperate in any Congressional inquiries, including all reasonable document request, as soon as we can redact them with Sharpie pens and lighter fluid," said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

The secret program came to light early this morning in the border town of Nogales, Arizona, after what was described as a wild battle of the bands between members of the Sinaloa cartel and Los Zetas, two of Mexico's most notorious violent drug gangs.

"Usually these guys are armed with Mexican Strats and Squires, Epiphones, small caliber stuff like that," said Pedro Ochoa, 36, an eye witness to the sonic melee. "This time they were packing the heavy firepower."

The steady barrage of power chords and piercing solo attacks attracted the attention of nearby U.S. Border Patrol agents, who arrived at the scene just as Los Zetas broke into Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song.' By the time the dust had cleared, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Oscar Jimenez was found in a catatonic state of headbanging. He was later flown to University of Arizona Hospitals, where his condition is listed as seriously rawked.

The spandex-clad suspects were able to flee back into Mexico, but not before abandoning their arsenal of axes - the quality of which shocked Border Patrol agents.

"I've been working the border for over 25 years and have never seen a weapons cachet like this," said Patrol Supervisor Mike Foreman. "A '53 Goldtop, a '59 Black Beauty, Flying V's, a whole armory of SGs. Enough for an entire guitarmy. It's a wonder there weren't any total shreddings."

Suspicions that the U.S. Department of Justice was involved in the case first arose after agents noticed "Property of the U.S. Department of Justice" embossed on the back of each guitar. A trace of the serial numbers confirmed that they were confiscated only days earlier by DoJ agents from the Gibson Guitar Company in Memphis.

Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, Justice Department officials admitted that the guitars were part of a complicated sting program know as "Operation Fast and Fretless," ostensibly designed to stem traffic of illegal guitars and amplifiers between the U.S. and Mexico. The multi-agency program - involving Justice, ICE, TSA, EPA, IRS, FDA, Fish & Wildlife, USDA, and the Bureau of Whiskey, Groupies & Hotel Rooms - reportedly encourage border area pawn shops to sell the guitars to known drug kingpins.

Justice spokesman Gary Evans said the Nogales incident yesterday showed the program was a success. "By putting American guitars in the hands of Mexican gangs, I think we've proven what we've warned all along - that Mexican gangs have access to American guitars. Hopefully this will lead to sane and sensible guitar controls."

Despite the defense of the program, Darrel Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Heavy Metal Affairs is expected to call hearings soon.

"We need to get to the bottom of this thing before it gets out of hand," said Issa. "We have reports that Justice is also providing Colombian cocaine gangs with AutoTune."

Reminds me of a great scene in the movie Bonfire of the Vanities.

Bruce Willis plays a newspaperman covering a racially-charged accident. He asks a high school teacher of the accident victim, "So you're telling me he was an honor student?"

"At our school we have two types of students - honor students and those that piss on you."

"So he was an honor student."

"Well, I don't recall him ever pissing on me."

BS

There's a Botham Jean freeway in Dallas...

Wow whoever pulled this off(if true) must have racked up some serious virtue signaling points!

I wish someone would create a game out of it and track this lunacy.

(ETA: I'm not happy the kid died, even if his actions brought it on.)

Agreed. He stated he was not going to be an astronaut until AFTER he finished his Neurosurgery residency. They purposely misquoted him.

Why are we not celebrating George Zimmerman ?? He is a trail blazer. He was the FIRST WHITE HISPANIC to be nationally recognized and railroaded by our media !!!

He wasn't "African-American", he was just a black American.

He didn't immigrate from Africa.

There's revisionist history and then there is .....whatever the hell this is. I guess we'll just go with a completely fabricated lie.
