Unfortunately, the press has done little to improve that image with its coverage of Trayvon Martin's death. Instead, reporters took a tragic situation and sensationalized it, igniting racial tensions rather than focusing on what many see as serious gaps in our gun and self-defense laws.

Right for the wrong reason. Thinking Americans understand the right to self-defense and that this right is not granted by government. The focus should have been on the facts -- SYG was not a factor and Zimmerman acted in clear-cut self-defense -- rather than on Obamaesque race baiting.

Gotta question for you. Did Trayvon Martin first go to his Dad’s girlfriend’s condo, drop his goodies off and go back out and confront George Zimmerman after the initial meeting?

A friend of mine says he didn’t. I didn’t follow the medias rendition of this nor did I follow the case here...I just don’t give a damn, really.

I would like to know if the little thug could have stayed indoors and would have been alive today or did he go back out and start a fight?
