You are making something very clear, but it's not what you think. Not only are some of us clear-eyed enough to realize Glenn & John were after the truth re The Trayvon Hoax, but also that they found and exposed it. If you watched the trial, start to finish (as I did, as did the jury that found Zimmerman not guilty) you can't unlearn the facts of the case - unless you wish to protect your own willful ignorance at any cost. And then there are the facts not even presented at trial - their absence actually favored Travon, but still, the defense won without them because of the facts that were presented.

John & Glenn (heard their original 2 videos on this, not yet this current one) didn't even really delve into what Florida's "Sunshine" (transparency) laws revealed about Trayvon, which didn’t match the sweet, innocent victim we kept hearing was all we should associate with him - the other side of him that wasnt laid out at trial. But I will. Trayvon had fallen into badass teen, doing bad things, violent things. He only crossed paths with Zimmerman because his mother, in desperation, sent him to stay with his dad during his latest of several school suspensions. Now if this truth offends, so be it: he was a troubled teenager who did troubling things and they were escalating - his texts show he actively sought out physical fights, bragged about it, was trying to get hold of a gun, etc. I am not saying that was ALL Trayvon was, but whatever else he was on the positive side of the ledger, he was also THAT. 



And it was that which put him where he was and caused him to double back and violently confront Zimmerman. So Trayvon jumped him and relentlessly pounded his head into the cement. You could hear Zimmerman’s cries for help recorded and played at the trial as neighbors called 911. But the pounding continued and he logically thought he might die before help arrived. So he shot and killed Trayvon with his legal gun. In self defense. 



That’s the truth, tragic though it may be, and here’s something else I find to be true: When you intend to make yourself a danger to others, you end up being a danger to yourself, as well. Trayvon. Others. Far, far too many others.

As a sidenote: It's plausible that Trayvon was angry that the "creepy cracka" (as a witness claimed he called Zimmerman while on his cell with her) was a lurking 'perv', who was interested in him sexually. Feels like somewhere on the spectrum of recent news of Kidd Creole of Grandmaster Flash/Furious 5 fame, who just got put away for manslaughter, for stabbing a homeless man to death who he thought was digging him “that way”. The guy called out a greeting to him, no threat at all, and Glover (aka Kidd Creole) should've, could've, just continued on his way to work instead of choosing to confront the man and violently 'defend' his 'manhood'. How tragically absurd. If he had really been a man, he wouldn't be a killer, locked up in prison, and his victim wouldn't be dead.
