"WANTED - Dead or Alive..."

I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to read about it. What am I talking about? The Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman altercation and subsequent death.

I DO know that here in the United States we still try cases in court, and not on the streets, as the Black Panthers are suggesting by putting a $10,000 bounty on Zimmerman's head, dead or alive. And why isn't anyone saying this is wrong? They are not the Supreme Court. This isn't the wild, wild west, is it? Is THAT what we're coming to? We are not innocent until proven guilty any more??

We all know there are two sides to a story. And I'm not siding with either side because I don't know all of the details, but then I'm not in law enforcement, so it's not my job. Does anyone else besides me think that this nation is a whole lot more racially divided since Obama became president? It seems much more so in the last three years. And then the Prez comes out and says that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon... Say what??!! That is so BEYOND presidential. It is so BEYOND reason to even SAY that. And why would he seemingly choose a side before he even had the facts? Do you remember early in his presidency when he also rushed to judgment with the cop and the black professor, and they ended up having a beer together in the Rose Garden for a photo opp? Yes, there is this template of evil non-blacks being racist against blacks, and Big Media are willing accomplices to fill in the templates.

From what I can see, the really upset people who now want George Zimmerman's head don't want to hear facts. They don't seem to want to hear that there are witnesses and friends who have evidence and history to the contrary. No, those facts just get in the way of their hatred and anger. They want someone to rage on.

And then there's the whole merchandising angle that shows how sick our society has become -- hoodies are now the big symbol for this incident because of Geraldo Rivera's comment, "I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as much as George Zimmerman was." And does anyone else find it disgusting that Trayvon's mother is trying to TRADEMARK Trayvon's name, so that she can get a portion of the money being spent on the merchandise being sold??

Heaven help us...
