You don't know that. I follow Martin Luther King's mantra of ignoring their skin color and judging by their character. That picture doesn't elicit the character of anyone heading anywhere good white or black.

Like a good little liberal you think you know more than you really do.

I think its worth noting how obvious it is that you don't subscribe to such a philosophy.

If I saw a white kid behaving as Trayvon did I would be just as critical of him. A punk heading towards a probable dead end (and possibly short - if not for Zimmerman then Martin might well have pissed off someone else and paid the consequences). The way I see it is a thug started a physical confrontation with a seemingly helpless victim - but who was armed. That qualifies him as a potential Darwin winner regardless of race.
So you guys see a picture of a kid "flipping the bird" and you draw the conclusion that he's going to prison or he'll soon be dead? Black and white doesn't enter into the equation? That one picture of a teen acting badly gives you that window into his soul? From one picture you have determined the "content of his character"? Do you realize how ridiculous that is?

Not from one picture. You are trying to minimize Trayvon's previous behavior of which that picture was just one example.

I agree. I have been a mod on other sites and in my opinion not worth the aggravation.

I tend to agree ...
Going by bretts post, this is all he needed to see to know the "content of his character".This image is all I need to see to know who their son was. Just another black urban youth who was on the path to either earning his own prisoner number or an early grave for doing something stupid. I guess we know which future won out.
That seems a bit authoritarian of you.

Interesting scenario. It appears all the media flub over George Zimmerman has inspired the mentally challenged to try to make a name for themselves. It doesn't surprise me at all that there are people out there who believe they would get a hero's welcome if they killed George. I am glad I am not in his shoes, and I still believe to this day he was in the right when it came to the Trayvon incident.
