If you had been on the jury (Zimmerman case)

It seems you have problems with Trayvon Martin being a symbol, since it's one of your first posts in this thread. This is before I said anything about him being a symbol or anything to that effect.

1. i point out that he's a symbol to some people and state my issue with that
2. you say that he is, in fact, a symbol to you and state your rebuttal to my issue
3. you say "well, its your fault, you brought it up first."

???????????????????????????????????????????????

I said he's a symbol to a lot of people, which means he's a symbol in the objective sense. Kinda of like how Jesus is a symbol to a lot of people but he's not a symbol for me.

I don't really go for the symbol thing, but I'll throw my support behind things I find worthy. Punishing Zimmerman in some way, I think I'll stand behind that.

I have never said that Travyon Martin is a personal symbol for me, he's not, he's a symbol for a lot of people however. I don't know how anyone can deny that. I treat him as a "symbol" for other people, which I think even you have recognized.

He's not a personal symbol for me, I'm not even sure I have any personal symbols, he's just a dead kid who I think was killed wrongly.

EDIT: I actually do have a symbol, Bruce Lee ^_^
