Wasn't the lawyer arguing in court that Trayvon was armed with the sidewalk? I think I saw some clips of that.
Yes, and for some strange reason the court allowed him to bring in a giant piece of concrete to demonstrate his point.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also I'm white.
Flaunt your unarmed privilege, why don't you?

What does "armed with the sidewalk" even mean? I mean, really?
I seriously cannot make any sense of this.
You guys, I feel like the Hulk. I am pretty good at ignoring shit, but once I start thinking about it for even one minute, I am insta-rage. That's my secret: I'm always angry.
I hear you, Jesse. Though for me, it's insta-rage that immediately becomes crushing hopelessness.

Yes, they argued that he "weaponized the sidewalk".

I'm trying to come up with a joke about how he must have had superpowers, but it's too fucking depressing to joke about.

Seriously, what does that mean? I didn't read any of the testimony (because my head needs to be in the sand sometimes). Did he throw a chunk of it at the guy or something?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At some point in the fight, Martin hit Zimmerman's head against the sidewalk. I think there was differing testimony about how much force he used -- the back of Zimmerman's head was bleeding from it, though. Thus, he used the sidewalk as a weapon, and so he was armed.
