A big flaming stink

I think you're missing his point

You're correct in saying Trayvon was a child. That's an inarguable fact. It's not being disputed. The mental imagery one associates with the word "child" is usually a person significantly younger than 17. So if you wanted to be more specific you'd say teenager or adolescent or something like that. Can we at least agree on that?

e: oh hello goatman my old friend

i dont know, i think the only reason one would distinguish between a 12 year old and a 17 year old getting murdered would be because they have certain preconceptions about the 17 year old.

for real a kid getting killed is a loving tragedy, and a 17 year old is a kid.
