TNC calls Obama's comment "pitch perfect":
Geraldo, on the other hand, claims Martin's hoodie "is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman." Ed Morrissey is taken aback:
I do get what Rivera is saying; I had this conversation with my nephew when he was a teenager, explaining that clothes are a statement of values that get communicated instantly to the people around him, especially to those who don’t know him. That doesn’t mean that baggy pants or a hoodie makes you complicit in your own death when someone shoots you for no other reason, however, and it’s a blame-the-victim impulse to make that argument.
