Burglary tool? It's a fucking screwdriver. It's not illegal to carry a screwdriver. Neither is it illegal to carry jewelry. An empty bag with mj "residue"? There is no crime nor penalty for an immeasurable residue.

This is the biggest post mortem lynching I have ever seen in my lifetime.

Regardless if Zimmerman is brought up on state murder charges, he should be indicted on violating Trayvon's civil rights. This is precisely what these federal laws were intended.
