The article is bullshit from the first two fucking sentences:
On February 26, 2012, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida, because as a Black boy walking in a gated community, he was deemed “suspicious.” Zimmerman’s acquittal appalled a nation often willfully blind to the vulnerability of living while Black.
REALITY:
On February 26, 2012, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida, because the thug attacked Zimmerman, who drew his gun and shot in self-defense. Zimmerman’s acquittal caused chimpouts for some (12%), but was understood as self-defense by a nation which had grown used to seeing black-on-white, black-on-black, black-on-EVERYONE crimes on a daily basis.
