I'm amazed that these 'parents', who shuffled their kid off to the grandmother to be raised, put more effort into getting Trayvon's (TM) name trademarked and trying to make a buck off the wannabe thug's death than they did raising him.
The only person I have seen more shameless is the clown we have in the White Hut.
Very few people, outside of Hitler, “deserved to die.” Nevertheless, smoking (a liberal bugaboo) WILL make you more LIKELY to die...one reason that all thinking parents TEACH THEIR CHILDREN NOT TO BEHAVE IN THIS WAY to keep them safe. I have done this with my kids. I would also council them “don’t under any circumstances corner someone you don’t know in the dark if you don’t know if the are armed and beat their skull against the pavement, beating them to the ground. Beating someone you don’t know could get you shot. Oh, and also, don’t post pictures of you online smoking pot and doing gang signs. Because I love you too much to have you act like a thug and a moron, because no matter what color you are, we are NOT thugs, and I won’t have you acting like one.” Also, kids...don’t stick your face in a glass furnace. I shouldn’t have to tell you not to do something stupid, but I would be a bad parent if I didn’t teach you what you need to be safe.
