re: #280 dangerman

Trayvon Martin demonstrated without question that it’s not about “all of us.”

An armed, grown man followed a child in his car, then on foot. When that pursuit turned into a fight, the child is shot and it’s “self defense.”

The implication of a grown man following a child around a neighborhood—“unofficial neighborhood watch”—with no cause somehow being a neutral act, not fucking creepy and rape-y and stalkerish, is where you can see that it’s not about honor or community or defense.
