He wasn't staggering around????? And he didn't threaten the clerk?????
Amazing. You'd think he was a normal person.

(32,019 posts)9. exactly what i've thought. if Trayvon REALLY were of an evil character,
he would've stolen his snacks and even beat up the 7-Eleven clerk before starting the fight vs. GZ.

Trayvon handed money to the clerk. Small thing I know, but I'll stick by my conclusion from dealing with thousands of customers. Trayvon was courteous.
This whole shooting of an unarmed teenager makes me sick, and I know it happens a lot more often than this one instance.
