If you had been on the jury (Zimmerman case)

[mu4]

talking about how martin is a symbol for oppressed youth IS a tangent. waxing poetic about the difficulties of being young and black in america IS a tangent. using his death as an excuse to parade around your own pet issues IS a tangent. YES.

This is not a pet issue of mine, it's actually pretty low on my priority list. But yet he remains a symbol for millions of people and many protesters. You mentioned him as a symbol first too!

maybe people are riled up cuz its seen as like a symbol of innocent black kids being targeted and killed by cops and how horrible that is, but zimmerman isn't the patron demon of evil cops, he's just one dude.

You are the one that started talking about it first.
