Over the last several months, much has been heard from Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin.
In February of last year, Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, who claims that this was done in self-defense. At the time, Martin was unarmed and seventeen years old.
Since then, his history of truancy, firearms-related issues, and handling marijuana — among other things — has come to light. Nonetheless, Zimmerman was eventually charged with second-degree murder and is now standing trial.
Evidence suggests that Zimmerman suffered head injuries the night Martin died, though exactly how and why remains a mystery. What is certain, however, is that the shooting’s aftermath has been highly polarizing. It has also drawn considerable attention to the oft-overlooked central Florida port city of Sanford, where the shooting took place.
In a recent interview with popular black-interest blog The Root, Tracy Martin said that “(y)ou can’t prepare your child to contend with the warped mentality of someone else. You can only teach them to be good and live by the laws of the land. George Zimmerman acted in a deranged way — and all the evidence supports that. I know how society negatively portrays black boys, and my son Trayvon wasn’t naive. He wasn’t blind to stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.

I don’t think so. Whoever wrote this needs a geography lesson.
In the 1800’s Sanford was an important inland Port City with a thriving Riverboat style trade up the St. Johns River to Jacksonville. There was also a major rail head there for railroad traffic into Central Florida and across to Tampa. A lot of Agricultural Products, mainly beef and Citrus were transported by Rail and Riverboat in that area.
Intracoastal or Intercoastal? Huge difference and I do not know the answer sir.
Ha, the photo is from The Conservative Tree House, man they are on the job over there.
A quibble: he might have been high on MJ already.
Intra. It’s typically between the coastal barrier islands and the mainland but sometimes dredged channels or old canals, sheltered from open seas.
If it were intercoastal it would need to go from coast to coast to make linguistic sense. I suppose it does in a way, since the Gulf has one, too. No idea if the two connect on the southern tip of Florida or not.
Regardless, it’s still intracoastal.
The Panama Canal is an intercoastal waterway.

Someone should post that reaction photo from the OJ Simpson criminal trial verdict.
Cape Girardeau, Missouri too.
I thank you both for your replies.
Sanford is the southern terminus for the Auto Train.
Port city in the hinterland? Just goes to show that today's journalists do not have to know anything about the subject about which they are writing.
"LET'S PICK OUR OWN COTTON."
I’ve just rethought that.
Had the planters done that we would be denied the presence of such stellar human beings as Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and a host of other notables.
it used to be a big port city on Lake Monroe which is part of the St. John’s river.
But only one side has threatened violence if they don't get the desired result.
