In the 1970s....if you’d been suspended from high school five times in my home state....no school would have accepted you and you would have been idle for a year to pass before granted entry again. This kid was trouble, and the Parents were never part of his supervision.

It is sad that a young man like that died (probably from getting himself killed), but I agree that from all we learned the kid was behaving like future gang member trash.
Trayvon seemed to lack the guidance all along the way of the very mother who has shown up at these hearings. I know she was one of the ones who showed up for the city's big money payout to the family though, right?
The parents IMO were trash raising trash and we don't need that in this country (and trash raising trash has zero to do with race. All races have trash parents among them raising trash kids).
