f you thought you couldn't be any more sickened than you already were at the idea that George Zimmerman might actually get away with going out of his way to stalk and then kill an unarmed black teenager who was guilty of nothing more than, well, being an unarmed black teenager, don't go to Gawker today. Because you will be evern more sickened, guaranteed.
Alternatively, if you're just not quite upset enough about Trayvon Martin's death and need an image to get yourself all pumped up, then, we suppose, go check out the photo of the 17-year-old's dead body splashed all over prime space on the site's home page right now.
That (if we decide not to be cynical and say he was just after traffic) seems to be author Adam Weinstein's idea. The headline accompanying the photo of the slain teen reads: "This, Courtesy of MSNBC, Is Trayvon Martin's Dead Body. Get Angry." He goes on to explain why he used it:
This is Trayvon Martin's body. These are the last skinny jeans he wore, cuffed once at the bottoms. These are his stylish kicks, his sockless ankles. There are Trayvon's taut neck, his slack jaw, his open eyes.
This is what happens. Not just when we input "black" and "teen" and "hoodie" and "night" into our onboard computers and output "DANGER," but also when we find the aftermath Newsworthy, and must consume it voraciously from start to finish, but insist that we cannot stomach seeing the bones and gristle on our plates ...

In fact, as gunshot death scenes go, this one is remarkably un-gory.
If a child were accidentally to see this photo, I am very skeptical that child would even know the person in the photo was dead.
Contrast this picture with photos of innnocent, aborted babies -- which are exponentially more disturbing.
Looks like Gawker got it from MSNBC, as their logo in on it. It appears to be from a on air broadcast.
Amen to that.
would it be disrespectful to photoshop Looter Guy and Al Sharpton into the background?
They should post it next to Zimmerman’s bloody head photos and say “The best way to stop this (insert bloody head photo) is to do this (gun photo + dead kid)
MSNBC put that on their channel praying that it would make it to the Internet, where there would actually be an audience to view it.
True.
Wowser!
Call the Waaahmbulance!
This trashy OffenJuden wants to see rioting so that his socialism can be forced upon those mere untermenschen who reject the wonderful world of socialism he envisions.
Mr. Adam, your 'Saint Martin of the Purple Drank' died because he was engaging in felonious behavior and was a reasonable threat of serious injury or death to Mr. Zimmerman.
Your post may well spur blacks to riot and then they will also be liable to be shot when they are a risk of serious injury or death.
‘Tis a pity you can't be held equally responsible for the deeds of those whom your writings motivate to crime.
So what? A punk ass thief and thug’s dead body on the ground. They laid out Dillinger on a table for the photographers. If his killer were a Black man or he was a White man, you never would have even heard about it.
I see a dead mugger, that’s all I see.
Or a pic of the white guy who was beaten, thrown into traffic, and killed down in ATL over the 4th.
Perps were 4 angry youths .... teenagers .... Amish ...well, whatever the current euphemism is...
But, shhhhhhhh. Stories like ours don't fit the narrative.
I’m sorry Trayvon Martin is dead. He thought he was a badass but he found out the hard way that he wasn’t. Life is badder than all of us.
I sat here (I am disabled) through near every second of this trial and closing statements. Proof of Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt has NOT been met. I hope 6 ladies are smart enough and brave enough to do the right thing and return “not guilty on all counts”. This trial was a travesty and waste of tax payers money.
This is what happens to yo if you jump on and try to waste a guy with a gun.
And he ran into a guy who wanted to be a hero cop. Just a bad perfect storm.
Badasses always eventually run into someone badder.
Guess is Facebook (or whatever) name was inaccurate.
Amen, but we will never see that on gawker, though they no doubt know about it and have the means to access that photo if they wanted.

Now let’s see all the young balck thugs who were murdered in Chicago last year by other young black thugs.
