Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsZimmerman has raised over twice what Trayvon's parents have raised
at least as far as online contributions go. And Trayvon's parents are raising the money for a foundation, not for personal gain like Zimmerman.
Depressing.
And sorry, I don't have a link. I heard this a couple of days ago.

This is so offensive to see the victim being used to stir racist donations for the killer. It is so depressing to fathom.

to Los Angeles last weekend for a huge event in Trayvon's honor, and the boy who was shot in pasadena. The Martin supporters are not going to walk away from the Martins. And like OJ, there will be surely a civil trial after the criminal trial.....

Quite remarkable, really. It is an indication of the possible fear/hate that Romney can gin up to use against the President.

boggling. nt
