Try to picture this if you can.

You are 17. You are walking to the home of your parent's friend after a store run for some candy and a drink.

Out of nowhere some older guy who looks agitated and focused starts following you. You speed up and he speeds up. You start running.

He cuts you off and you see he has a gun.

He tries to stop you from running.

You no longer exist.

When I was 17 I was in school where I belonged, not suspended from school for bad behavior and wandering about as an unsupervised truant. YMMV

The shooting occured at 7pm, I don't know about you, but I was rarely never at school at 7pm. Trayvon was also about a half a block from his father's home. Shame on him.

Are you denying he was on a 10 day school suspension at the time and that this happened on a week night?

So he deserved to be shot just for being on suspension? Sounds like it!!

Plus he wasn't wandering, he was walking to his fathers home after going to the store. I guess thats a death sentence where you live.

I certainly wouldn't mount someone punching them and slamming their head into the sidewalk.

Except that's not what happened.

Time to wake up from your Liberal Wet Dream.
