MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry expressed her hope that Trayvon Martin “whooped the sh*t out of’ George Zimmerman in a speech at Cornell University on Monday.

In video of the speech released by the Cornell Reviewshe remarked “I hope he tried to stay alive, I hope he knew that he lived in a state with a Stand Your Ground Law, and I hope he whooped the sh*t out of George Zimmerman…cause he encountered a stranger who was prepared to kill him, and you know how I know? Because he killed him.”
