An innocent teenager ... Except there was no innocent teenager. Innocent teenagers don't ambush the neighborhood watch and attempt to murder them.

>> An innocent teenager is dead because some wannabee cop decided to profile him. Where is the evidence? Why did the prosecutor stand up today and talk for two hours about everything BUT the relevant facts? That is, did Zimmerman fear for his life when he pulled the trigger. None of this other crap is supposed to matter, at least under the law. The prosecutor spends considerable time on total non-issues like whether Trayvon was followed (irrelevant), whether Zimmerman wanted to be a cop (irrelevant), and even arguing before to try to give the jury a way to convict on "child abuse" charges. Fucking ridiculous.

Except for the fact that Trayvon was far from innocent and GZ did not "profile" him....you might have a point.

here's your little boy Consider the following exchange from November 2011, three months before the shooting. After Martin told a female friend he was "tired and sore" from a fight, she asked him why he fought. "Bae" is shorthand for "babe." MARTIN: Cause man dat nigga snitched on me FRIEND: Bae y you always fightinqq man, you got suspended? MARTIN: Naw we thumped afta skool in a duckd off spot FRIEND: Ohh, Well Damee MARTIN: I lost da 1st round :( but won da 2nd nd 3rd . . . . FRIEND: Ohhh So It Wass 3 Rounds? Damn well at least yu wonn lol but yuu needa stop fighting bae Forreal MARTIN: Nay im not done with fool..... he gone hav 2 see me again FRIEND: Nooo... Stop, yuu waint gonn bee satisified till yuh suspended again, huh? MARTIN: Naw but he aint breed nuff 4 me, only his nose The fight followed the mixed martial arts (MMA) format. A day later, Martin would tell a friend that his opponent "got mo hits cause in da 1st round he had me on da ground nd I couldn't do ntn." As the girl complained, Martin was "always" fighting. He was also something of a sadist. His opponent, after all, did not bleed enough. Why might this be relevant?
