Whether he was wearing a hoodie or was running around starkers, his clothing is not in any way responsible for his death. He was chased down and shot (while screaming for help) because Zimmerman is compensating for his "masculine shortcomings." A wiry teenager armed with Skittles walking through the neighborhood is not a threat worthy of deadly force and his sartorial preferences don't raise that threat. Well, maybe if it was a sweater-vest, then Trayvon would have deserved it?
