he was charged with the crime of ‘walking while young, black and male’;
and he was quickly executed for his crime by George Zimmerman.
And Florida enabled this execution by way of the racial and, yes, legal tone it set a long time ago for Zimmerman to kill, to avoid arrest for two months, and to get acquitted.
Didn’t matter that Florida’s so-called ‘Stand Your Ground’ law was not used during the trial since it had already served its purpose. Zimmerman, a wannabe cop, was likely aware of it, and under the law, the police won’t arrest if there is quote-unquote “probable cause” the person “acted in self-defense”.
