"Skittles are somehow more deadly than popcorn (your claim of the only weapon the dead guy had). Fists are fists."

You're talking gibberish. Nobody ever said Travon just threw some skittles at Zim. If that's all he had done I doubt very many people would have defended Zim. If you've got any evidence the victim here was pounding the shooter's head into the ground and saying "I'ma kill you" then please let us know. If you got one shred of evidence the victim did anything to put the shooter in imminent risk of death or serious bodily injury then please let us know.

How Skittles became a symbol of Trayvon Martin’s innocence

This wasn’t about popcorn or texting a babysitter. It was about butthead meeting butthead. Butthead one, the texter, was upset about Butthead two going to report him to management. Heated words were exchanged. Butthead one threw his popcorn at butthead two. Butthead two shot Butthead one.

I’ve seen fights in my life. They don’t end at the popcorn stage. That is the starter’s flag “It’s ON!”
