Quit while you're ahead. Many 17 year olds, Black, White Green, Red or blue....Can be and ARE threatening!!
Just pointing out a Reality.
Don't try to use logic here....it might take a few months for everyone's heads to stop spinning from all the racial aspects of the story. Just think, if the media had mysteriously left out the ethnicities of the parties involved.....it's a good thing they never do that
On the surface, it sounds like perceived racism is the only driving factor here. Otherwise, wouldn't there be more concern for all of the black men who die nationwide on a daily basis?
What gives?
Probably around the same time that a minor goes out to get a chocolate bar and is shot to death in his own neighborhood by some wannabe cop moron and the guy who kills him gets away without a charge.
Probably around the same time that that happens you'll hear about it.

And another pic that is heavily circulated in the media also looks like an older shot. I'd venture that this image is used more because he's wearing the hoody:
My son has a hoodie like that. Let's pray some fat man with a gun doesn't think he looks suspicious one day.
Only stupid people are concerned and distracted by media engineering.
The problem is that it's the stupid people that are fooled and lead along by media engineering. So those of us who don't consider ourselves stupid have an obligation to point out their missteps right?
The media pulls strings wherever it can benefit. It's commonly seen in the "missing white girl" syndrome, and it can be seen in these white-on-black incidents also. The electronic media's had decades now to figure out the best way to tug on the heart-strings of the population.
I mean, really! What is the big deal here? Why such the hoopla?
If this was a:
black on black crime
white on white crime
hispanic on hispanic crime
black on white crime
Would there be an outrage? Probably not. The liberal media would sweep it under the rug like they do everything else that is not rating worthy. Obama would not have come out of the woodwork. Nobody would have cared less. I'm sure some other posters on this board have noticed this nonsense, but it is amazing nonetheless.
Yet, somehow, this case is occupying 4 or more threads on this board.
This has been explained, ad nauseum. If you're really seeking an answer, search any of the threads re: Trayvon.
