Martin had no criminal record. There were no charges to reduce. There was no violence in his history. He was suspended three times. Once for marijuana residue in a bag, which was not enough to arrest him for. Once for truancy, which would not usually be considered a crime. And finally, for probable graffiti, which the school punished internally. He was found with what might have been stolen jeweler, but nothing was proven, so no charges were pending.
None of the behavioral issues had anything to do with violence. He was not a perfect teenager, but teenagers are not perfect. Obama had nothing to do with him. Criminal punishments are decided on the state level, and Obama has never set state laws for Florida.
How would you feel if Zimmerman made sure that someone close to you never steals? Or how about we let Zimmerman makes sure you never steal?
Zimmerman cannot just walk the streets killing random people to make sure they do not steal.
The fact that Martin took a picture of himself with a gold grill was promoted by the media. The fact that Martin consistently tweeted about going to college was ignored by the media.
Poor Martin; he died as result of being a thuggish hoodlum.
