So (and as someone who works with middle schoolers, this is a very important understanding) when a teen makes a bad decision (as I'm willing to admit Trayvon Martin did that night), should the consequences be FATAL?
I have teen sons myself: I do NOT consent for random members of the community to punish my children for their mistakes by shooting at them.
George Zimmerman was found not guilty. I do not believe that means the same thing as "innocent" or "virtuous". He made the choice to kill someone, with a fig leaf of law.
