Well, "Generosity" is my middle name (actually, it's "Richard," but whotthehell!).
Just had a thought:
Suppose Trayvon Martin had been the self-appointed block watch person sitting in his car, and he spotted George Zimmerman walking down the street with a package of candy in his hand? And suppose, after calling the police about seeing a white man in the neighborhood behaving suspiciously, Martin had got out of the car and confronted Zimmerman, after being told by the police not to approach him, but to stay in his car and watch?
And suppose during that ensuing confrontation, Martin had shot Zimmerman with a 9 mm. automatic and killed him?
I wonder how Beardedbruce and some others would react to that scenario?
I think that might just tend to put a somewhat different complexion on the incident (grim pun fully intended!).
