White Supremacist Hacks Trayvon Martin’s Email Account, Leaks Messages Online

- The guy goes by the name of Klanklannon

- He changed Trayvon's passwords to racial slurs


White Supremacist Hacks Trayvon Martin’s Email Account, Leaks Messages Online

The racist smear campaign against Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teen shot to death last month in Florida, has reached a new level of ghoulishness. A white supremacist hacker says he's broken into Martin's email and social networking accounts, and leaked his private Facebook messages. We've been able to confirm that at least one email account that belonged to Martin was cracked.

<...>

But Klanklannon included none of Martin's emails in his leak, 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!&quot One email included the results of a career aptitude test, our source said. It "talked about his interest in aeronautics and stuff."

Klanklannon has proven nothing more than the depths to which the racist amateur detectives who have spent days obsessing over every aspect of Trayvon Martin's short life will sink in their horrible quest to vet a dead teenager.

Racism is alive and well in America. No question about it. White supremacists are HEAVILY invested in tearing down Trayvon Martin.

Damn the media for buying into the RW and White Supremacists (is there a difference?) attempt to destroy this young man's character.

I don't believe so. The Right Wing is essentially an old white men's club. They don't even treat their own women as equals.

Zimmerman, his dad, the police captain, the prosecutor. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

And knowing if I ever got shot in similar circumstances the whole country will endlessly debate my collection of video games, clothing, music, work and private e-mails, FB, DU and YT accounts, persciption medicines, mental health history, etc etc instead of trying to seek justice...

And if they think that hacking the email account of a murdered teenager is going to help their cause in any way, it just shows how depraved they are and because they are so depraved, believe others have no decency either.

And they sure are not helping Zimmerman if that is their goal.

I know you intended something else like gang affiliations. Instead you show a pretty normal 17 year old who is college bound.
