I don't care how many tatoos Trayvon has. I don't care if he smoked weed. I don't even care if at 17 he was a drug addict hard core even. I don't even care if he was dealing drugs. And I don't care if he had a racially charged facebook/twitter account. None of that is why he was killed.

George Zimmerman was not the one to be the judge, jury, prosecutor, and executioner. This is a bunch of BS. When someone is murdered their lifestyle is trotted out after the fact to show that they weren't all that innocent. Utter and complete BS. Many people do drugs, they are not executed for doing so, for good reason. Drug use is a non-violent crime. I have never seen nor heard of a violent pot smoker. The worst I know is a cranky pot smoker, but the pot probably makes his disposition better rather than worse. Putting Trayvon on trial is the same as putting everyone on trial that happens to be black and might smoke pot and curse. If Trayvon was white, his allegeded pot use would likely never come up. And tattoos really, you want to execute someone for body art. What a twisted mess this world would be if we executed everyone that smoked pot, had tats, and cursed or any combination of that.

Zimmerman was a cop wannabe Major Nikon Mar 2012 #22
