Trayvon is a 17-year-old black boy. He likes Miami Heat, Blake Griffin, The Boondocks, Tu Pac, Friday, football and going fishing. He left his house, one day, in a predominately white gated community in Florida, to pick up a bag of Skittles for his baby brother. On the way home, he was shot and killed by a white man.

I wouldn't exactly call peeing on dead bodies "maintaining professionalism." Matter of fact, I'd venture to say peeing on dead bodies is decidedly unprofessional. And dishonorable. Not to mention inflammatory and embarrassing. I am humiliated by the actions of those Marines.

Installing ZoneMinder on Centos 6
