(from the article) :"Trayvon Martin had an average American family upbringing in southern Florida.
He had his faults, but was no criminal, his mother said."

Thank goodness you found out that it was the color of his skin that caused his death.
Otherwise , it might have been the stolen jewelry in his backpack recovered ,unmarked , at school, or
the crank juice he was bringing home, or
the weed that was already in his blood system, or
his assault on a "White-Hispanic" in MMA style , or
the folks that he was running with in the streets , or,
the photos of him holding a gun and lots of money , or
the fact that he wasn't missed for a day by either parent.

OMG! You expect facts and logic to interfere with the hopes and dreams this excellent mother had for her rising star of a son? lol

He was on suspension because he was a victim of circus pants.

You left out one critical piece that needs to be repeated.

Per Rachel Jeantel (sp?) in her Piers Morgan interview, Martin thought that he was being stalked by a homosexual rapist.

So his assault on Zimmerman can be seen as a gay-bashing attack driven by the same “gay panic” argument used by the thugs who murdered Mathew Sheppard.
