Why would Zimmerman follow Martin for no apparent reason.

I saw this article today about a similar incident with a different outcome.

White kid gets racially profiled walking around in his own neighborhood.

Interesting......

I've heard that term ("put down") all my life, but always in regards to animals. I've used it many times myself when I've had to have an animal put down - dogs, cats, goats, a horse, two ponies.........

I think this is the first time I've seen it used to describe the death of a human being.

It speaks to the character of the poster.....or the lack thereof.

It's not weird, it's intentional deception

And Barck Obama says, If Trevon was my son, this is what he would look like flipping the bird.
Stay classy mr president.

My nephew is 16 right now, and has become "devil child". Is the picture above really that far out of the norm for teenage boys?

Once again, that second picture is not Trayvon. It has already been proven so quit being deceptive.

When I was raising my son, this kind of behavior would have gotten him a mud hole stomped in his butt and he knew it.. Today sadly, I think this kind of behavior is becoming more and more mainstream acceptable in this country... It doesn't paint a very good look into the future..
