Do you really think that Trayvon was intending to kill Zimmerman, simply for following him?
Like to fight? Where's the proof of that? Trayvon had absolutely no history of violent crime, or any history of beating people up, or anything like that. He had no school suspensions for fighting. He's was a college-bound student preparing for the SATs and checking out colleges. The view you have of him is Zimmerman's view, not reality.
All you know about tm's suspensions is what was leaked. I don't know there's more to it, but you don't know there isn't.
He missed more than 50 days of school due to suspensions and absences.
No, I'm not glad he died or was destined to be a violent criminal. Pure speculation --- something happened in summer 2011 to cause a troubled spell that he may or may not have come out of eventually.

Skipping school and pot use are not indicators of a future criminal. Listening to rap music doesn't make him a Grape Street Crip--it makes him a normal, if somewhat unruly, teenager.
That's the key word there btw. TEENAGER. Not a child, but certainly not an adult. A teen.
You're right, they are not signs of a future criminal, they are signs of a current criminal.
We aren't talking about joining the military..We're talking about a murder trial.
People as young as 14 are/have been tried as adults. 17 year olds get tried as adults all the time...depending on the severity of the crime.
Did you see the post I responded to ?
child, adult mean different things for different purposes under Law. Neither word is sensible to apply to tm in normal, everyday speech.
