Ironically, with today’s technology providing information so fast and media desire to be first over accurate, we are the one that are trigger happy with this case. Sure, there are some things that are odd about the case like the 911 call, but the spin the media plays out is horrible (like a picture of an 8 yr old Martin).

What’s sad is that the trial will most likely not be able to be fair due to high profile and emotions this case has.

Probably none of those options are accurate, but the journalists are having a field day because it is possible to make some dramatic stories around any combination of them.

We have all the cliches for a deep south racist drama.

• a southern location
• lazy biased cops
• unmotivated thrill seeking youth
• the victim’s ridiculous black name.
• his hoodie
• an archtypical white vigilante hero/villian
• fearful residents
• an empathetic black president
• incompetent sensationalist media
• a court room climax

Tragedy, pathos, revenge, injustice, social inequality? Its all there. Write your own drama, the truth is irrelevant.
Which actors would you cast in the main roles?
