I think it's just the way it's presented that's coming off as though this is something to be humorous about. All I know is that it is being presented in a way that makes me uncomfortable.

I don't think it helps that I not only live in the county right below the one where Trayvon was killed, but stuff like the racial profiling of Hispanic and African American men as "dangerous" and being shot and killed for senseless reasons is something I see on a regular basis here in Florida. I've had a few friends in high school who have lost a friend, a family member, or a significant other in this way. So I'm a bit sensitive to how stuff like the Trayvon Martin tragedy gets presented the media, mainly because this sort of thing is never an isolated incident down here.
