The media has created as they always do a personea, a poster boy for the cause. Any information to tarmish this as the truth comes out is considered racist. The door has been shut the idol has been created much like what they did with zippy the a##clown
I was under the impression he liked weather because he wanted to be a meteorologist. The media said he was “college bound”.
No, no, no.
He was interested in weather because of his deep-felt convictions with regard to global warming.
One suspects that the 'weather' is warm where he ended up.
“The media said he was “college bound”.”

That is funny and sad because his friends said he was headed to “Trade School.”
I am so tired of yellow journalism.

Probably no relevance for the criminal case, but for the civil case to follow, where the threshold of proof is much lower it will be important. Assuming that the police office is convicted of wrongful death it is typical to determine how much money the dead person was likely to make over the remainder of their working life.
The plaintiffs will argue that he was on his way to being a successful brain surgeon, or something. His social media records can be used to counter that. At the end of the say the jury will be asked (or axed) to come up with a number and the cop will owe that to the family.
It seems almost impossible that they won't bring such a case. I don't know if Trayvon's parents were suiing Zimmerman. I thought so, but haven't heard much. OJ lost the civil case and owes millions to the families of the people he was found not-guilty of murdering.
If they did the calculation honestly in this case the State of Missouri should probably give a check to the cop.
C-I-L-L my landlord. Dead.
as someone put it he was not unarmed, he was strong armed
