He certainly isn't going out of his way to say that's an outrage that a black kid in a hoodie can get shot. Apparently black males need to just shut the fuck up and watch what they wear, and where they walk.

Martin was visiting someone, hence he was welcomed by a denizen of the neighborhood.(Yes, I used the word Denizen).
Amazingly creepy how he would use the word hood.

I also want to add that in bizarro, alternate-dimension America, any self-respecting news organization would fire any high-profile employee who tweeted those comments, and the general public would be shaming him to obscurity..
