The mystery of the 7-11 and the Skittles

SANFORD, Fla. - The family of Trayvon Martin will sit in the same courtroom on Friday as George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed their son, for the first time.
Benjamin Crump said the Martin family is attending the hearing at the request of special prosecutor Angela Corey. Crump said the family is bracing themselves to be the same room with Zimmerman and will be hoping he doesn't get bond.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said Zimmerman would like to meet with the Martin family.
"There's no reason not to have a conversation," O'Mara said Thursday. "It should be personal, it should be private."
Crump said the Martin family has considered Zimmerman's proposals to meet, but have said no.
"The meeting is not appropriate right now," Crump said. "We think that it's self-serving right now to say 'I want to apologize the day before my bond hearing.'"

Thanks. That’s much better. ;-)
We each need to rebel against what some call the “natural man” in our own hearts - the seed of which is envy of God. And since with Him, all things are possible, real change of heart and consciousness is possible. It is a never ending adventure...
Thank you, George Zimmerman for ridding this world of the violent black thug, Trayvon Martin.
Now Martin will no longer have the opportunity to commit crimes against anyone else, and none of us law abiding citizens will ever have to worry about being confronted and beaten by him.
Thank you, sir, you are indeed a hero.
Don’t bring a bag of Skittles to a gunfight. Trayvon was unfortunately shot. He caused his own demise. Gun powder residue was found on the so called innocent teen. There was a struggle for a gun. The evidence is not on your side.
Comment on another forum from someone in FL who has been actively following this:
Just talked to a local sheriff and he said at a minimum, had Trayvon Martin lived, he would have been charged with aggravated assault which would have probably been elevated to aggravated battery because using the concrete sidewalk as a weapon would count in this case because repeated and intentional blows were used.
Very interesting.
So the little angel was killed during the act of committing a violent felony.
Justice has been served.
