This is getting beyond ridicules, people need to just let this case die.
An asteroid will be named after Trayvon Martin, if William Lowell Putnam, III, has his way. Mr. Putnam is the trustee of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, where, 13 years ago, the asteroid was discovered and named 2000 TM61. It was when Florida thug Trayvon Martin was shot in self-defense in 2012 that Mr. Putnam submitted the name-change nomination to the Minor Planet Center, which decided that the naming was "premature" (but clearly the real reason was that they were racist)
