I'm sorry Adub, but Trayvon not hitting him would have avoided the confrontation.
If Trayvon would have said, "My dad lives here" that would have been it. He didn't need to run away or hit the guy. And he did hit him. And bad shit happened after that. How can that escape you? Is it okay for people to just knock the fuck out of each other? WTF?
She said something about people assuming they had negative intentions because of the color of his skin and the hoodie. I think it would be great if young black men didn't commit crimes wearing hoodies, but that's just NOT the way it is.
Somebody pays for that shit. The victims of crimes perpetrated by these criminals AND their own community. OWN IT.
