I don't think you can blame the parents for that. They lost their son, and the situation was compounded when his killer went free without even a trial. I haven't seen them do anything at all objectionable, which is pretty admirable considering what they've been through. It did initially sound kind of odd to me that they copyrighted Trayvon's name, but then again, there are no doubt people who would try to merchandise their tragedy, so I certainly can't blame them for wanting to prevent that. The real villains here have been the media for its intemperate coverage (to put it mildly), and the race hustlers (NBPP, Sharpton, Jackson, etc.) who have been trying to ride Trayvon's corpse to relevance. |
Yeah, I don't even know what to think of this case anymore. At first it seemed like a young boy had been murdered in cold blood. Now it seems that Zimmerman followed him after the Police Dispatcher told him not to, they got into an argument, and Trayvon beat his ass, so out of fear he shot Trayvon from the ground. I will now wait until the trial to pass final judgement. As it stands now my opinion has changed from Murder to Manslaughter. Both men acted poorly, but I still feel like Zimmerman shouldn't have followed Trayvon after he called the Police. I am glad that this is going to trial, the facts need to get out.
