And the parents and lawyers have agreed to set up the Trayvon Martin Skittles Scholarship foundation for disadvantaged students who demonstrate a scholarly aptitude on par with the slain angel.

Not.

“That leaves the parents $300k each, or $170k after taxes.”

Insurance settlements are not taxable.

Real men don’t run from gunfire, they run towards it.

Two years from now they’ll have pissed it all away on Escalades and bling and blame whitey for it.

Given a runaway jury, everyone in the HOA could have lost their homes defending a principle. I agree with you, that it is a morally repugnant, but that is what this country has come to.

Would have cost them $1 million to defend.

Either way.

Love this joke at the comments:

When I was young my intent was to go to medical school, but I was confused by the entrance exam.

One of the questions:
“Rearrange the letters P N E S I to spell an important part of the human body that is more useful when erect.”

Those who spelled SPINE became doctors.

The rest ended up as lawyers.
