A Gangsta's Death....and two legacies

     Trayvon Martin's father, Tracy wants to name a gun control law after his "innocent son."
     Let's be completely honest here.
     Had Zimmerman started the fight, then fired his gun when he was losing, it would be murder. The law does not allow you to pick a fight. The law does not allow you to pick a fight, then use deadly force when you're rightfully getting your ass kicked.
     Tracy Martin wants us to forget "young, innocent Trayvon" threw the first of many punches. BY LAW, that makes him the "initial aggressor." Following someone is NOT aggression. Nobody can dispute Martin approached Zimmerman.
     Tracy Martin wants us all to forget that beating someone's skull against the ground is as deadly as using a rock. 
     Frankly, Trayvon broke the law. The "media narrative" before the trial of a young, innocent kid packing Skittles and tea was sorely intended to inflame racial tensions and influence potential jurors.
     The media narrative is still driving the racial tensions from this incident and gun control. 
     Tracy Martin's narrative of "innocent, young kid minding his own business" doesn't stand up to the pot smoking, ho-dissing, finger-flipping, gun-flashing (called "fronting") images on Martin's cellphone.
     Trayvon Martin got a gangsta's death. His legacy is being an eternal object of scorn and derision. Summed up it is, "Little wannabe gangsta thought he could play badass and got what he deserved."
     His parents have a legacy now. They failed as parents.
     When I was 14, I had to get a signed note from my parents to participate in the JROTC rifle team (SUPERVISED ACCESS of a single-shot 12lb .22 target rifle). What kind of a parent lets a 17 year old have unsupervised access to a 9mm semiautomatic handgun?
     What kind of a parent lets a 17 year old have a tattoo? I knew only of one 17 year old when I was growing up who had a tattoo only because he joined the Army at 17 and came home on leave.
     My parents would have skinned me alive if they caught me smoking pot.
     It's clear Tracy Martin wants to avoid personal responsibility by honoring a wannabe gangsta and disarm law-abiding citizens.
