12. Young black males reap what they sow, says Mr. Taafe

Trayvon Martin, a young black male, has reaped the harvest planted by the other young black males, get it? You plant corn, you get corn. Haha! But don't worry. Mr. Taafe is "not racist," and probably has "lots of black friends." It just "is what it is," you know? It is mysterious how Mr. Taafe knows the identities of all the burglars since they, you know, "always get away," but that's beside the point. You plant corn, you get corn.

I hope the Zimmerman Fan Club is proud of the company they're keeping here...
