Btw, thanks for the Urban Dictionary cut-and-paste. What a resource that place is. Skittles indeed.

You're welcome, though I doubt the "Skittles" drug slang reference applies in this case. Do you know where the reference comes from? Did he (Trayvon) mention buying 'Skittles' prior to the incident? Still, that alone, even if he meant buying drugs instead of the candy, wouldn't justify the shooting. The nose and head injuries might, however. I'll bet it was a 'sucker punch' that floored Zimmerman allowing the skinny punk the opportunity to then pound him in the head while he lay on the ground.

BTW: it wasn't a cut & paste, but rather a cropped screen capture. :)

I read that his father said Trayvon was going out to buy Skittles for his younger brother, prior to being shot. After having been wrong once on this thread already, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of that quote. It seems that some things which came out early in the incident are simply not true.

As for the cropped screen capture—thanks for explaining that. I knew it looked really good; I just had no idea why. ;)
