Details continue to slowly dribble out regarding the shooting of Trayvon Martin. But it seems clear at this point that an armed, overzealous man who was on neighborhood watch appointed himself judge, jury and executioner when he saw a “suspicious” black youth in his community. The indignation and calls for justice continue to build, and rightly so.

Worse yet, we have the Slinger shooting case, another minority male young person shot down on private property, thanks to Wisconsin’s newly enacted “Castle Doctrine” law. The young man was hiding on a porch from police raiding a beer party next door. See today’s Journal Sentinel front pager on this horrible incident.
this comic inspired me to do a comic on this situation… and by the way your comics are awsome!… gonna keep my eye on you…
Does it disappoint you to see the “good boy” image of trayvon disappearing, and the reality version of him showing up? Oh yeah, and the facts of the real version of that night showing up, and not what the media portrayed it as? Did seeing an NBC producer being fired for doctoring the 911 call disappoint you?

Nice of you not to post my previously submitted comment. Do continuing news stories showing the truth of the situation make you feel like an idiot yet?
