All I did was say that the two of them would have been able to continue on with their lives as they had been. Martin was on suspension from school for cutting classes and writing graffiti on the school lockers at the time of his death, Zimmerman was working in the insurance field as a day job and doing neighborhood watch in the evenings. My bad, I just assumed that someone that has mentioned several times about how closely they are following this story would have known these details .
"The son of divorced parents, he grew up in working-class neighborhoods north of Miami's downtown. He and his father, a truck driver, were active in the Miramar Optimist Club, an organization that runs sports and academic programs for young people. Tracy Martin, the teen's father, coached his son's football team.
The boy was a swift athlete, according to a friend, and played a range of positions up to about age 14. After he stopped playing, he remained active in the organization, volunteering six days a week from June through November of last year to help run the team's concession stand.
Martin cooked hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken wings alongside his father at the stand. He loved talking to the kids, asking them what position they played and whether they were good, Horton recalled. He would call the mothers "Ma'am," and if they had a stroller or an item they needed help with, Martin stepped in.
"Everyone out there loved him," Horton said.
Martin was tall and lanky — only 140 pounds, according to the family's attorney — and his nickname was "Slimm."
The teen spent a big part of his week living with his father in a one-story, peach-colored home. Neighbor Fred Collins Jr. said he would see Trayvon Martin outside every week mowing the lawn and trimming the trees. The teen also helped Collins' son learn how to ride a bike." So I guess your claims are valid and that in fact, I don't follow this case to closely. And you seem to think that zimmerman is some f***ing saint while Trayvon NEVER did one good deed in his SHORT 17yrs of life, even at the time of his killing!!! Got it! Carry on....
