Why he might be annoying:

    He shot 17 year old Trayvon Martin, who was armed with nothing but a bag of skittles.
    He was the self-appointed neighborhood watch.
    He pursued Martin for no other reason than he 'looked suspicious.'
    He continued to pursue Martin even though the 911 operator advised him against doing so.
    In the 911 call, he can be heard making a racial slur under his breath while pursuing Martin.
    He was arrested twice before, once for battery of an officer, and once for domestic violence.
    HIs ex-fiancee has a restraining order against him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    As the neighborhood watch, he apparently had stopped a few attempted burglaries.
    According to friends, he cried for days after Martin's killing.
    Some believed he would be unable to get a fair trial because of the media coverage of his case.
    According to Geraldo Rivera, the whole incident was Martin's fault for wearing a hoodie.
    The New Black Panther Party offered a $10,000 reward for his 'capture.'
