So you have to take it – as a parent, when you tell your child, when you see a grown person following you, run away, and all that.

You’re a goddamned idiot and/or disingenuous AF.

Violent adult male criminals are raped in prison all the time; I guess you would have them “de-escalate” those situations?

A six-foot tall unarmed man can easily be raped, abducted, robbed, or (wait for it) murdered by a short hothead with a gun.

If Trayvon was “violent” for having been in a schoolyard fistfight, what would you call a guy with Zimmerman’s history?
