It's very frustrating to hear about George Zimmerman's 'innocence' when compared to Trayvon's 'innocence'. You've got George Zimmerman, a full adult with an adult's lifetime of experience, plus a gun, and then you've got a (possibly sketchy-looking) kid in a bad neighborhood. Both are already probably paranoid because of the recent robberies, Trayvon even more so because no teenager wants to be followed and then approached in the middle of the evening. Kids are hard-wired to think 'rape' or 'murder' when that happens, not exactly "Hi, i'm your friendly neighborhood watch!"

I saw your promoted advertisements everywhere for days before this AMA actually popped up. Do you or your promoters/team pay for that advertising, or is an agreement reddit/ their marketing team? If you or your team do pay for those ads, what's the tangible benefit to you?

I love how experts on topics like this are around on reddit and just find AMAs like this. How excited were you when you saw that your long-time cartoon followee was being debated over on this thread?

Why was speaking in court so impossible, if you don't mind me asking?

I know this isn't nearly as bad as what your family went through, but when my parents divorced, it was messy, and emotional and physical abuse was involved. I wanted to speak in court because I knew that judges take the word of a victim far more often than they take the word of a lawyer. They also take the word of children over parents. However, my mother refused to let me testify, and because of this, my younger brother had to continue part custody with my father. There are officers and protection in the courtroom and you can stop talking at any time, so why did your sisters settle for doing so little when your father could have been locked up for life and protected from harming more people?

Fascinating.
