It is clear he was on a track (statistically) to die, young, in a pool
of blood anyway. (black, school failure from a broken home and an
increasing criminal record)
The only anomaly was that a white guy shot him.
If it was just another black guy doing the shooting, this would not
have even made the news and it is likely nobody would have been
charged.

I disagree with your assertion of Martin having an "increasing
criminal record". He doesn't have a criminal police record period.
He was under suspension from school for having some pot residue in his
locker, but he doesn't have a criminal police record.
We don't really know that. It is clear he was "known" to the police
from the jewelry and burglary tool incident but any juvenile record
beyond that is sealed.
It is clear that his trajectory was down. He certainly did not seem to
have much parental supervision.
He was missing at night for over 4 hours before they even looked
outside to see if he was there.
It makes you wonder what dad and the "girl friend" were doing if they
missed a gunshot, EMS, a bunch of cops and a crowd scene right outside
their door.
If my kid said he was going to the store for a bag of candy and he
didn't come back for over 4 hours, I would be out looking for him long
before that.
Zimmerman was "clearly known to the police" as well, from the assault on
an officer, the assault on his wife, and his constant calling them.
I read "on the internets" somewhere there's a betting pool on Zimmerman.
Haven't seen the actual pool, though.
