Having an identity is one thing. Being born into an identity is quite a different matter.

The fact is, in the minds of many, Trayvon Martin received the appropriate punishment for a true crime: He was black, male and dared to walk outside. In life, young Trayvon was just a teenager; in death, he has been transformed into a scary, lurking, suspicious, prone-to-violence spook.

From Henry Rollins

Trayvon Martin did not need to die.

From Henry Rollins

I don't hate the government. I don't think the Second Amendment is being infringed upon.

From Henry Rollins
