You can't expect much from someone quoting a movie to boast about lacking compassion and forgiveness in their signature on a public forum.
No one is saying Trayvon was an angel. No person, let alone teenager, is perfect. You're supposed to make mistakes and grow (especially as a teen), except that now, because someone decided to play wannabe cop, his life is over. You can try to justify it any which way you choose, but at the end of the day a man took it upon himself to kill a teenager. That is not ok. The fact that this man's father is a retired judge plays a significant role in this, too. The police is notorious for preferential treatment when it comes to their own or family of their own. If you think otherwise, then clearly you also lack much more.
This man has a history of being arrested for violence. Arrests that were all closed when one (resisting an officer with violence) is a felony charge. Maybe if the police didn't keep giving him the benefit of the doubt/doing favors for daddy, he wouldn't have been able to shoot and kill a teen. Too late now. The mistake Zimmerman and the police made with this is that they underestimated the love parents have for their child. He probably thought it would go away just like his other arrests, but not this time. At this point, I'm just going to ignore this bondai man/woman/whatever it is. If God forbid their child was ever murdered, I'm sure they'd be singing a different tune.
Interesting how this video shows Zimmerman after he killed Trayvon, yet he doesn't look like someone who was just fighting for their life earlier. Because you know, when you have a gun and a teenager has a Skittles, your first instinct is to shoot them in the chest to kill them instead of the leg so you can get away.
