Default Kid?

The perception that Martin was a "kid" seems to have originated with the media's constant use of his angelic childhood photos rather than his more-menacing recent ones. If you put a 17-year-old in a uniform and give him a gun, he is no kid; he is a "soldier", whose job is killing people and breaking things.

My point is: The fact that Martin was 17 is irrelevant. He either deserved to be shot or he didn't. I have no opinion on that since I don't have all the facts, and neither do you.
