Few things:

One example is the pictures posted. The image of Trayvon was that of years prior to the shoot to paint the picture that he was an innocent kid that wouldn't harm a fly. The real story behind Trayvon comes out. Whats to stereotype in an instance like this? Because he's black? Lets take a look at the Titanic. If you have someone dressed and mannered in the upper class no one is going to assume or ask questions. But if you're going up there dressed in a manner that isn't common with the neighborhood people are going to look and ask questions. Funny how things like that work.
This is one of those interesting, strong cultural points that prompts racial questions.
Firstly, I keep hearing that Trayvon was portrayed as a "saint," but the coverage I've seen, both national and local, merely painted him as innocent in the sense that he was young, unarmed, and murdered with no implication that his death was merited. I have to wonder if there was a slew of coverage I missed that portrayed him as the lesser known other son of God or some kind of holy figure, because otherwise I don't understand the reasoning behind the accusations.
Of course race is called into question. What is our problem with the media not initially portraying Trayvon as a criminal? And how is not portraying him as a criminal portraying him as some kind of saint? Mandatory speculative question: Would Trayvon's protrayal of innocence in this sense be such a problem if he were, say, a young white woman?
Secondly, and this is more of a continuation of the first point than an entirely new one, what is up with scrapping at the bottom of the barral to try to portray him as a criminal? So far the only thing that has been confirmed is that he got in trouble for smoking pot, and yet I still see all of this speculation that he was an incredibly violent kid. That is fine and well if there were solid evidence, such as police reports against him, complaints from the school about him, or convictions, but there are no such thing. Some of us seem to have an awful lot of trouble accepting the possibility that he just wan't a violent criminal.

But that proves nothing Amora, he was a harmless kid that never even touched Zimmerman. He never got his head smashed into the ground and zimmerman is just a racist punk! Oh well well well -
photos are finally out.
Do you have a source that is more credible than thehollywoodgossip.com?
As for everyone thinking that Zimmerman is guilty, what are you implying? That he didn't actually kill Trayvon and that this is some kind of media conspiracy? Because we're reasonably certain that Zimmerman did kill him.
On an unrelated note, Zimmerman took a cheap shot by apologizing at his court appearance. He had over 50 days to do it and Trayvon's parents were willing to hear him out at one point, but he decided to do it when he could potentially benefit by winning a sympathy vote. :/
