The Word - Hoodies: Dressed to Kill

The unfortunate and sad story of Trayvon Martin, a Floridian teenager who was pursued and subsequently gunned down a month ago in broad daylight by what appears to be an unstable, racist vigilante, George Zimmerman, for the crime of wearing a hoodie and being armed with an iced-tea and some skittles while not belonging to the neighborhood, has rocked the nation, especially because Zimmerman, to date, has not even been arrested...

As is the now regrettably predictable outcome in these scenarios, politicians, the media and others will go to ridiculous lengths to exploit and squeeze every drop they can out of such a tragedy to score their own ideological points, and, as Stephen Colbert shows, to point fingers in all the wrong places...
