Trayvon Martin shooting thrusts hoodies into spotlight

By Sapna Maheshwari
March 27 (Bloomberg) -- Nationwide protests calling for further investigation into the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin a month ago have used a familiar garment as their rallying point: the hoodie.

Playing the devil's advocate once again. Based on the little known actual facts about the case.  It appears that there is now a media campaign designed to smear the alleged victim's reputation, regardless of age of the aforementioned.
Do you feel strongly against or for the issue I have just raised in this case?  let me know I would love to hear from you.

Capitalism at it's finest.  Where are you going to go?  What are your thoughts?   The opportunities are out there, thinking outside the box.

There are 2 types of people in the world. Ones who wait for opportunities and ones who make their own opportunities and seek out on their own. the latter are the ones who make their own life. live life on their own terms and live life how THEY want to.
No one got to where they were without brick walls or stumbles along the way.
You are your own driving engine. YOU are Your own brake. YOU are the only one who can determine your own fate.

Fast and Furious Beware

"ieiunium et furens Cavendum"

Speeding tickets.  What are your thoughts on receiving them?  What is your experience when the officer asks: "your driver's license and insurance please?....  Are there feelings of anger, despair or guilt?  Let me know your opinion.
When lead-footed drivers get snagged and ticketed, their downfall might have been passing a speed trap where a cop was using radar or a laser, or maybe the driver passed a speed camera. However, as technology improves traffic enforcement, it is also progressing on the side of the speeder. Now joining the radar detector is crowd-sourced reporting of speed traps, a virtual warning system using the Internet and a mobile app.

This list of the 10 most-active cities for speed traps was compiled by Trapster.com
