I avoid this thread because its, well its lame.
17 year olds can and have served. We call the young man a child? Yet many of you calling him a child defend someone the same age of being responsible enough to have sex with legal adults. Which is it? Under 18 are children there for should not be allowed any adult decision space or they are adults?
Young men young than the Trayvon are tried as adults for murder. Why? How?
Because they are not children.
I have faced down the barrel of guns held by younger men than Trayvon. They weren't children either.
Trayvon Martin had been 17 since the first week of February; he made it a whole 3 weeks at 17, hardly time to glean a lifetime of experience. In reality, he had the mind and experience level of a 16 year-old. Your personal experiences aside, Trayvon Martin was no guerilla fighter or gangster wannabe. He did nothing in his short life that merited his death at the hands of Zimmerman.
Then why are you here? I have a son that is about to turn sixteen next month and he is very much a child. I certainly did not think the same way that I do now at the age of 17. Did you? Legally, Trayvon Martin was still a minor. A human male can grow up to the age of 25. Either way, what does that really have to do with Zimmerman ending someone's son's life prematurely? Why argue about what the definition of a child is? The issue is whether or not Zimmerman killed him in self defense or not. Was Trayvon's death Zimmerman's fault? Could it have been avoided? If you think that the thread is lame and don't want to discuss the topic at hand, why bother commenting?
Sorry I can't rep you again.
I am very much agreement with you. When my son (who is black) was 17 y/o he was a young naive virgin in every since of the word. He attended an elite boarding school on an academic scholarship (Lake Forest Academy, Lake Forest Illinois) and is extremely intelligent and articulate. For those who prematurely judge a book by it's cover are really sad. The fact that a teenager was being stalked and then killed by a grown man because he dressed or looked a certain way is beyond disgusting and disturbing. For those who assume that every young black male is a thug or gangbanger, surprise you are so wrong.

Yes, it's true. Some youths are tried as adults. In fact, Angela Corey prosecuted a 12 year old as an adult after he killed his 2 year old sister IIRC.
However, what you wrote has nothing to do with this case, since Trayvon Martin is not on trial. He was the victim who was just taking a walk.
I know what Crump said in his letter, which you automatically accept as true. What was His source for the accusation ?
Show me the affadavit.
So what you are saying is that a member of the Florida bar wrote a letter to the US Dept of Justice about an affidavit, but it was a lie? Is this a new conspiracy theory?
I couldn't find the aisle with the peanut butter when I went to Publix, so you'll have to ask someone else to look through the court records.

That is all about you. This is about the unjust, uncalled for murder of a 17 year old kid. Kid, Man....nomenclature....... He was Murdered.
Nah. There would be no justifiable cause to use deadly force in this case. If you called a Tea Party member a *******, he'd probably drop dead from a heart attack or turn the gun on himself.

They are considered a child until they reach the age of 18 in FL.

Now I just dod a quick google and found that florida does in fact charge young adults under the age of 18 as adults.
Trayvon was a wanna be who met another wanna be. Two idiots collide.
Zimmerman deserves whatever he gets for his part in it. Trayvon already got his reward for being bad decisions that started long before that night.
