And then black people like the kids in this article use it as an excuse to get angry at whites and commit crimes themselves. You're angry about the Trayvon case, so you beat an innocent white person you randomly pick on the street? I'm damn tired of all the crazy pointless crap that this case is stirring up. A 17 year old kid got shot, and just because he's black it's all across the states. Rallies and marches for justice, and justice is not what's happening. Slapping him with second degree murder was probably the stupidest thing that has happened in this case. Someone got shot, it happens every damn day in this country, but do we see nationwide rallies and marches for those victims? No. So many people go crazy about this saying it was a giant race issue, and it wasn't. They made it into one. What happened to the equality those people fought for? Because this isn't equality. Not giving a damn about all the other people getting shot, but then blowing this out of proportion because a white shot a black, is not equality, it is racism. This was not second degree murder nor was it a hate crime, it was manslaughter. And people want to make it all about race. It's pathetic.
AMEN!!!
