32. speaking of blood

Of course there are those extremely rare occasions when a gun might save the day. How much blood in the street is acceptable? Trayvon's blood should be enough and there are many Trayvons.

How many SSgt Jameses? Sorry that is total bullshit. Race has nothing to do with it.
If Zimmerman had not gotten out of the car, Trayvon would still be alive.
If Trayvon would have gone home instead of doubling back, Trayvon would still be alive.
If Trayvon were not pounding Zimmerman's head on the concrete, Trayvon would still be alive.

I find it rather disingenuous when I see old white guys in Texas justifying there behavior by exploiting the vulnerability of black women in Detroit.

It is not justifying anything, it is simply exposing the "old white guys in Texas" myth. BTW, how do you know GSC is white? Are you assuming he is Anglo or Latino? I don't know that.

How much blood in the street is acceptable?

Ask your average pot head. They don't seem to give a shit how blood soaked their shit is as long as it lights.
