The mother of Trayvon Martin said Monday that she believed Florida’s Stand Your Ground law played a role in her son’s shooting death, but she wasn’t ready to support a boycott of the state for not changing the self-defense law.

Aside from the fact that neither side even mentioned SYG during the Zimmerman trial, the thing that played the most central role in Trayvon Martin's death was his ill-considered decision to assault Zimmerman in a felonious manner, with the apparent intent to cause grievous bodily injury or death.

I wonder why she failed to mention this. (/sarc)

Re. she wasn’t ready to support a boycott of the state for not changing the self-defense law.

Translation: she is walking back the boycott talk because they now know it would be a dismal failure, embarrassingly so.

Does anyone believe that if they thought they had the support they would not do this?

How white of her.
