Happy Monkey: ... Trayvon Martin didn't ask to be "secured".

I used the concept of security referring to the person who did the shooting.

Right. Zimmerman did the shooting. Zimmerman killed in the name of security. Treyvon Martin was killed by Zimmerman. Of course I

turned "secured" into a euphemism for being shot, apparently just to make a flippant connection to euthanasia.

Actually, you introduced the flippant between Treyvon Martin and euthanasia:

Here, I returned to using the concept of security in my original relevant context...

( Zimmerman providing "security" for his neighborhood)

... suggesting that if Trayvon Martin had asked Zimmerman (a neighborhood watch member) to protect [secure] him when they met, Trayvon Martin couldn't have been characterized as a threat and might still be alive today.

If he'd done what? Approached the armed man who's been following him around and asked him for protection from... what? Again, what are you on about?
