None of that family has an ounce of attitude. They are well educated, articulate and come off fairly sane.

So does Zimmerman's family.

Who knows might also be a bit of black vs hispanic tension Trayvon had built up living in very polarized Miami while Zimmerman saw it in his world of high crime racially and economically divided Sanford area.. But one was a 17 year old kid and the much older guy had the gun..

I find the political spin on both sides quite amazing and stunning how most stick so strongly to their ideological corner.

I suggest you look at clips by Trayvon's parents and his brother. None of that family has an ounce of attitude. They are well educated, articulate and come off fairly sane. Now its possible that Trayvon was the exception but, frankly, I doubt it.



Sure he punched a school official, dealt drugs, presented himself publicly as a thug, used drugs, stole jewelry from lockers, but frankly I don't see how anyone could think he's anything less than an angel.
