21. This HAS to be some kind of line in the sand: "We're all Trayvon Martin Now!!! NEVER again!!!"

It makes my head hurt to try to imagine a more transparently obvious hate crime,
short of lynching or dragging by car.

Hell, in this case, there are very vivid audio recordings of about ten 911 calls to report
that Trayvon was being murdered, and for help from police. One has Trayvon screaming
and crying out "HELP!!" in the background ... then you hear two gun shots ... PLUS the
girlfriend's testimony, that Trayvon was worried, running away, scared for his life, etc.
hardly the kind of persona that the Zimmerman apologists are trying to paint in the
public's mind.

Seriously this case HAS to go viral and draw a line in the sand for these NRA racist nut-
jobs. At least the KKK had to hide under white sheets; whereas this guy is still strutting
around no doubt bragging about having murdered an unarmed harmless 17 year old boy.
