10. Good post. One thought though regarding Trayvon's school suspension

The fact that at first it was reported that Trayvon was suspended for being tardy, and now it's reported that he had a trace of marijuana with him looks clumsy. I know that parents who have just lost a child aren't going to be too worried about public perceptions. I know that having a small amount of pot is pretty trivial. In my opinion the lawyer acting on behalf of Trayvon's parents should have been forthcoming with the truth from the start. In the great scheme of things this has no bearing on the facts of how Zimmerman killed Trayvon, but it certainly adds fuel to the fire for the right wing.
