Wow! Is he talking about the 10 year old Trayvon? Certainly, he is not talking about the thug-in-training Trayvon.

I have no idea who Les Payne is, but he sounds nuts.
Formerly of Newsday, Payne began writing his column in 1981. The former Associate Editor was responsible for national/foreign and health & science news at the paper; he also served as the paper’s New York Editor.

As a recovering Long Islander, I stipulate that the name “Les Payne” constitutes a barf alert for any knowledgable reader.
On the substance, Payne would have a perfect analogy - if the young Mr. Martin had been 5’ 2” instead of 6’ 2” . . .

When assaulted or raped, the assaulted woman has right to self-defense,and it does not matter who provoked it. The same analogy would apply to Zimmerman, a man who was being physically assaulted and had to kill TM in self-defense, a right that Zimmerman had no matter who provoked the attack. Now this race-baiter is trying to spin it up side down, and apply the analogy to TM, as the one who was acting in self-defense under attack from Zimmerman, the facts and evidence be damned.
