walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

. . . but maybe some good will come of them. Hope so.

What is the "good" the protestors want?

Besides Zimmerman dead.

I can't read the protesters' minds, but I'm listening to their words.

From what I've heard/read, many of the protesters feel that George Zimmerman racially profiled Trayvon Martin. Had Trayvon not been black, he'd still be alive. They want a message sent, via civil rights violation charges or some other means, to minimize such killings in the future.

Others feel that some laws allow people to too easily target or profile anyone, kill them, and not be held accountable. They want to see the laws reviewed and possibly revised.

P.s. I've seen a couple of those stupid t-shirts with George in the cross-hairs, but I haven't heard protesters demanding death to Zimmerman. Doesn't mean there aren't some extremists who are doing so, I just haven't heard/read them personally.
