Would it be equally honest if supporters of the current Syrian regime came out with a similar poster? Something about people who have had their neighborhoods destroyed by vigilantes and the hearts of their dead sons eaten know how Trayvon's parents have suffered?
I sincerely doubt ReBeL would approve.
Point is that neither side of that civil war have any stake in the matter, nor any relevance to it. They're just milking a dead kid for publicity.
By that argument, everyone should just STFU whenever one party with the fattest "badge of dishonor" by being the most aggrieved people enter the room.
22 kids die from free school lunch poisonings in NE India, but since I'm in Syria and have suffered more that entitles me to tell them to fuck off with their petty concerns and listen to me instead?
Syrians have zero skin in the game. The only reason to bring it up is to use a dead kid to help sell their political cause.
Politicians do that and we call them heartless weasels. But if a bunch of grungy-looking participants in a civil war in another country do it with a banner to get attention, they get a free pass?
Neither side of the Syrian civil war has any moral right to claim a dead kid's memory in another country as a sleazy means of promoting their personal causes. Just as it would be inappropriate and sleazy for a bunch of street protestors in Oakland over the Martin case to brandish a poster of Muhammad al-Durrah to tell Palestinians to support their cause.
Oooh, that's good. And true.

Being a gang banger is definitely for the lazy people 
what happens inside is what really matters, mental laziness is what is referenced here. Letting yourself become a "victim" and get caught up in the path that was "drawn" for you is laziness in a society that provides you with enough opportunities to escape destructive behavior. Are there some clinical cases? sure, but i dont think we give humans enough credit when it comes to overcoming adversity.
