Trayvon Martin, Who Dreamt Of Being A Pilot, To Receive Honorary Aviation Degree
http://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/crop_0_39_750_509,scalefit_720_noupscale/590b74b11400008b031a694d.jpeg?cache=oyl3qaem9o
Florida Memorial University, a historically black college, announced in a Facebook post Wednesday that the 17-year-old, who was gunned down by a neighborhood watchman in 2012, will receive a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical science with a concentration in flight education on May 13.
The degree will honor the “steps he took during his young life toward becoming a pilot.” His parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, will accept the degree on his behalf.
The university’s president, Roslyn Clark, said that awarding the posthumous degree is important for the school and noted that Fulton is an alumna of the HBCU.
“Of special significance is awarding posthumously the Bachelor of Science Degree in Aviation to Trayvon Martin. Sybrina, our alum, epitomizes strength and dignity as she uplifts other victims of violence while effecting change for a more equal and just society,” Clark said in the press release.

Just wow. Honoring a lowlife thug. I actually am not shocked though. You DUmmies are seriously mentally ill. :thatsright: :hammer:
-
Was pushing a customer at a convenient store part of his efforts to be a pilot? **** off DUmmies.
-
Well, he did fly pretty high. :rimshot:
And he does give a whole new meaning to dead stick landing. :rimshot: :bolt:

While the left still has no idea why they lose after stunts like this.

Is pretty stark... :/
I know denial is a river in Egypt but I have no idea where delusion is.

Pffffft.... not at all. I wanted to kill you before Trump. I want to kill you now.
Completely consistent.

Perhaps we can arrange a degree in rocket surgery for the Gentile Giant (magnum cum loady).

Depends on which usion you mean. I believe the Indianusion is just east of Denial. :rimshot: :bolt:

He intended to head back to the motherland and fly the first indigenous plane in Kenya. He helped design it under the influence of purple drank

Says a lot about what a degree from there is worth.
-
They should probably give Martin's retarded, 'creepy-ass', ebonics-blubbering girlfriend some sorta degree too, then.

It really does. Trayvon's got one, but he still can't find a job. He will still vote democrat even if he never leaves the ground.
-
He did have some first hand experience with ballistic trajectory.
-
i heard he is just dying to take a shot at his first flight. :-)

If Trayvon gets an aviation degree, then it's only fitting she gets a doctorate in English.

She's already got her PhD in Ebonics . . . :whistling:
-
"I'm flyin', yo" is not the same as "dreaming of being a pilot".
-
Yes, awards for criminals, the democrat way.
-
Perhaps AviationPro can give st trayvon pointers on riding right seat on a Honeywagon.
-
They should give him a BS in thuggery, with a minor in How to Lose at the Knockout Game.

Yes. saint trayvon was the thug who actually attacked a Hispanic guy (later giving us the term "White Hispanic) and was surprised to death the guy fought back.
Saint Trayvon was also the thug who was a drug addict (He'd had numerous suspensions from school on drug- related charges, and it's strongly believed that the Skittles and fruit punch he was buying the night of the incident were to be used as ingredients in a codeine- based drug cocktail called "Lean" that he had a known fondness for; Do any of you think that sounds like someone who could be trusted to safely fly a plane?), had a known obsession with violence and especially brutal MMA fighting, and was almost certainly one of the perps in a series of burglaries that had been occurring in George Zimmerman's neighborhood at that time.

In other news, Trayvon is still dead.

I am absolutely going to Hell for laughing at that.

Hmmm....when Trayvon said one time, "Yo dawg, I wanna get high" someone thought he was talking about becoming a pilot.
