Let it be noted that on this day, Saturday 13 July 2013, it was still deemed legal in the US to chase and then shoot dead an unarmed young black man on his way home from the store because you didn't like the look of him.

What a thorough mischaracterization. TM was shot because he was assaulting someone.

They, too, either can't read cursive, or they are bald-faced liars.

He has enough facts wrong in his first paragraph to qualify for Carney’s position.

>>minding his own business armed only with a can of iced tea and a bag of Skittles.

A Navy SEAL could kill you 20 different ways with those weapons. If it was Chuck Norris, he could blow up an oil rig with them. If it was MacGuyver, he could use them and a roll of duct tape to build a Saturn V and go to the the Moon.

I hate it when people act like the Civil Rights Movement never took place.

Maybe they should focus their energy on places like Chicago.

Crying shame that public stupidity isn’t a felony offense.

Yikes! How’d you like to meet that guy in the dark walking home from the 7-11 with some Skittle and Arizona “iced tea”?

>>There is no doubt about who the aggressor was here.

Yep, and the aggressor forgot that white people pack heat in Florida.

Martin's heart would still be beating if Zimmerman had not chased him down and shot him

It is really remarkable to watch this unfold. It's like watching a toddler repeatedly deny having had his hand in the cookie jar, despite you having caught him in the act moments before.

They are literally.....childish....

He says the facts are not in dispute, then goes on to lie and twist the truth. Odd.

But only if he leaped out of the shrubs, broke your nose and starting bashing your head into the concrete sidewalk.

It’s open season on ANY person of ANY race that attacks another and puts them in fear of their lives who is armed and can then do something to save their lives.

Hope he’s aware that the #1 killer of “black boys” is other black boys.

Hey, Gary — how many ‘black boys’ were shot in Chicago this weekend? And who shot them?

Unbelievable...
