I dunno about you guys, but when a big fat man pulls a gun on me, I never get pissed.

First of all, that's BS.
Second of all, do you ever get pissed? Do you deserve a shot to the chest? Since when are black people not allowed to get angry like any other race? Must we tap-dance and wear big grins all the time so that folks don't get scared?

What would you have done if some guy was following you in a threatening manner? Would you not defend yourself?

This looks like it might be a recent pic. Not seeing much difference. My (black) nephew is 17 and he has a baby face also.
The boy looks very normal to me. I don't know why some folks are trying to portray him as some thug. I'm sure there maybe some pics out there that some may deem unflattering. Unfortunately this "thug" look is popular even with solidly middle class kids like Trayvon.

That's not. But there is a picture of him with the gold teeth and that gives you the warm fuzzy feeling.

Anyway, it is sad that a kid is dead. A life is a life, they are all equal in value. Well, except maybe those serial killers, rapists, child molesters, terrorists and a few others I may have forgot to mention.

But to seek Zimmermans head on a plate with a bounty, is just proving what racist white America already thinks to be true.

I do hope al and Jesse enjoy this years prerequisite 15 minutes of fame. Brought to you courtesy of white guilt, or is it Hispanic white guilt, or maybe Jewish.

You must understand that black people don't age as quickly as you all do. We stay youthful looking for a very long time. We don't change that much over the years like you all do

Luckily, your personal opinion is not fact. It is very interesting what folks choose to believe/disbelieve in this case.

Think about how much they pushed the candy angle.....it's no coincidence they were pushing the babyface pics ad nauseum. He should still be alive right now. If they were both alive right now to tell the story Trayvon Martin would most likely be on bail for assault. It's only right Zimmerman go through the proper process.
