Go tell that to a court of law to convict Trayvon based on what he did. I ask you: Would Zimmerman follow him if he did not have a gun on himself? It is provocation by Zimmerman and not what Trayvon did some other place. Now we are talking about the American justice system. We want to go out of our way to provide Khalid Sheikh Mohammed with justice. Here we have both parties who accept the justice system and I hope the court system will work its way through. Surely not with the logic you are advancing.

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

I didn't say he was an angel. What I said is that I detected no attitude on the part of his entire family. And for that reason, I suspect T. Martin had no attitude although I can't be sure. Unlike you, I am not willing to make assumptions pro or con about his character.

What I do know is that Martin is dead and Zimmerman is alive.
