As for what crap? The fact that you classified a young boy walking home as a future felon, and his death no big loss. That was an awful thing to say.


I didn't say Treyvon would be a future felon. I said that, or at least meant, if he reacted violently simply because he was confronted, that very well may have shown behavior problems that could lead to a future prison stint.

And while manslaughter is probably more applicable, the prosecution will likely go with 2nd degree murder so they can get Zimmerman to plead out to manslaughter.
