Dr. Phil McGraw offers counseling to the parents of Trayvon Martin in a “Dr. Phil” episode to air nationally Friday.

Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, says to lose his child in such a harsh way tears him up.

Trayvon Martin, 17, was fatally shot by George Zimmerman on Feb. 26 in Sanford. Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder.

“He didn’t deserve to die,” Tracy Martin says. He also says that he wishes he could have taken the bullet for his son.

In another clip, McGraw tells Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon’s mother, that she needs to give voice to her feelings and not keep them inside...

"Keep them inside" is that what he said?

“How’s that working for ya?”

Snort, Dr Phil ain’t ven a doctor, in any sense of the word.

Thanks, Oprah!

He didn’t deserve to die,” Tracy Martin says

Sorry Tracy the evidence says otherwise.

The physical evidence and the statements of witnesses indicate that your son was acting in such a way that any reasonable person would assume that he was trying to kill George Zimmerman.

Given the available evidence a jury should aquit George Zimmerman of all charges.

Given the available evidence George Zimmerman should never have been indicted.

Thank GAWD...as a “soccer mom” I didn’t drink the Oprah “Koolaid”.

I swore I thought I saw Dr. Phil at the DNC applauding.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

At 17 teens year old, this “child” could have enlisted. All He needed was “Daddy’’s” permission. Ain’t no kid.

“He didn’t deserve to die,” I’m sure Mr. Zimmerman was thinking similar thoughts as in I don’t deserve to die at the hands of this thug.

Thanks, Oprah for the Dr. Phil and now for the Dr. Oz with his political brain washing and the interview of Mochell Obama.

In a statement, McGraw says of the family: “They’re left with the questions about what should they or could they have done to prevent this. They’re trying to make sense out of this tragic loss and they’re lost.”

Lost ehhh -- Face up to it -- he was at fault that night and paid the price for it.

This so called child was over 6’ tall and a football player, familiar with martial arts.
