In reply to the discussion: Trayvon's killer said to make self-incriminating statements [View all]Scootaloo

Apparently, Trayvon needs to have been an absolute angel who never so much as sassed his mother in his 15 years for his death to have been unwarranted. Any misstep, any even very slightly questionable thing - even his GRADES - have been and are being used to justify his murder.
Welcome to America, right?
