8. The police also gave his killer a benefit of the doubt as wide as the ocean

and then only started to investigate under intense public presure on a national scale

9. You haven't over simplified.

It is that simple!

10. You left out that the person who killed Trayvon should not be judged

in the same way that the person who killed Trayvon, judged Trayvon.

Out on the street, you are presumed guilty, until you explain to ME what you are doing.

If I kill you for not complying, or because I "feel threatened" by you ... well, I'm not guilty of anything, because I'm innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

See how much sense that makes?

12. You got that right

Depriving his family of his graduation, college years, careers, marriage, grandchildren, promotions, home ownership, etc, in trade for a funeral. All that is lost because he was profiled in a hate crime. I hope any and all extra punishment is given because it WAS racially motivated.
