Yeah because we all know that teenagers who act up in high school NEVER EVER NEVER become upstanding citizens as adults. While you're looking into the futuristic alternate dimension can you also tell me the winning lotto numbers?
Correct, most don't and you know it. Don't need a lottery win or a crystal ball to figure that one out.

Most is not the same as all; many people DO become productive and law abiding adults.
You have no idea what Trayvon would have become or achieved as an adult. Your negative preconceived notions about him are not facts.

I never said all, YOU did. You also don't know, but there was a lot of writing on the wall. I'm tired of people pointing the finger at others when he was truly no angel by any means. He is not this innocent lil 12 yr. old boy. If people can point the finger at GZ, than the same is true with TM.

It's very possible that if TM had eleven more years to become a twenty eight year old adult (ZM's age) he would not have assaulting an officer and throwing a woman across a room on his record. It might be irrelevant, but one has to wonder why GZ and his brother have not spoken for years.

No actually what I said is that we know teenagers who misbehave never amount to anything to which you agreed...guess maybe you missed the sarcasm.
Either way while I never agreed with the media portrayl of Martin, I think its disgusting that anyone would even try to use his behavior (none of which was violent) to justify him being shot. "Oh yeah he was probably going to rob a gas station one day so its okay to kill him"...its horrid.

Right, probably because he would have been sitting in jail for burglary or drugs. Who knows, not me or you, but that was the road he was heading.
After several thousand posts about this tragedy, one thing I find interesting is the same people who think the Sanford police completely screwed up this investigation have complete faith in the handling of Zimmerman's prior arrest, that resulted in no conviction.
Also, that Trayvon having a baggie with marijuana and a screwdriver with women's jewelry is just "kids being kids" but Zimmerman being arrested (but not convicted) of pushing someone while intoxicated when he was 20 or 21 makes him a violent, alcoholic felon.
I think they both made mistakes that night, and unfortunately, it led to a death. I feel bad for both families. The Martin's for losing their child, and the Zimmermans for the unfair way the media and some groups have handled this.
There is no debate as to whether or not Zimmerman assaulted an officer. The puzzling part is that charges were dropped. That would not go over in most cities. Obviously the Sanford PD did screw up or the police chief would not have stepped down after a "no confidence vote" and now an arrest was found to be warranted after a thorough investigation by the FBI.
Zimmerman was not intoxicated, the woman he threw across the roomn was, so I think that you are confused.
A seventeen year old walking home from a convenience store and becoming defensive about being followed/stalked by an unidentified stranger, cannot be accused of making a mistake that is worthy of his heart being stopped.

Wow, ever try writing a book? You seem to put many words in where there aren't any being said. Who said it was justified? Talk about negativity...
