Unpopular opinion: Innocent people are murdered every day. Guilty people walk away with no punishment every day. Why are we making such a big deal out of this now? I mean, there were students on my campus (which is across the country) who did a hoodie march and chanted about wanting justice. They just went through campus doing it, but what's that gonna change? I mean, yeah, it's awful that this happened and it's awful that the guy wasn't put in prison, but stuff like this happens every day, and seeing something on the news then putting on a hoodie doesn't make you an activist.
That's my opinion on the Trayvon Martin thing. It's WAY blown out of proportion.
“I can only hope that they’ll turn that anger and frustration and madness into something positive, so that two, three, four, five hundred will step forward, so the gay doctors will come out, the gay lawyers, the gay judges, gay bankers, gay architects … I hope that every professional gay will say ‘enough’, come forward and tell everybody, wear a sign, let the world know. Maybe that will help.” Harvey Milk, 1978
