No, the point is that I am not even taking issue with your (ridiculous) idea that you think Zimmerman is a neato neighborhood watch guy just doing great justice for all of America and your false assertion that anyone is trying to talk about how Trayvon Martin is a model citizen -- whether he is or isn't matters not even the tiniest of bits.
I don't even care to have that tired argument. It's stupid.
In all seriousness, the point actually is that what Trayvon Martin did or didn't do in the years before that day are completely irrelevant to the one day that matters, because George Zimmerman had no way to know any of it, and therefore didn't consider him a threat because of those things. "Oh, but he's a bad kid" doesn't change anything about the fact that he wasn't being a bad kid that day.
His history before that is irrelevant. That's all.
