Are we racists for having looked at this public information with perhaps a slightly more critical eye than the Left.
As Jesse Jackson said, let the light from this martyr illuminate his murder.
You know what I find so sad...
Looking back through Trayvon’s MySpace, he was such a good-looking kid, there are pictures of him doing aviation work and assorted things that shows he was a young boy with ambition and big dreams. Pictures of a young Trayvon fishing with his father.
You can also see through the photos that a change had started. Gold grillz, tats, using rap lingo and dressing more gangsta. It also would appear that drugs had started becoming a part of his life, too. Mom had sent him to his father because he had also started to have problems in school.
As the story is told, the father then takes a visiting and troubled Trayvon over to the dad’s fiancee’s home, leaves him there and goes to dinner with his fiancee. Then dad doesn’t report Trayvon missing until the following afternoon—assuming Trayvon was off with a 20 year old cousin. I would think Trayvon was with dad for dad time, not to run around with an older cousin.
I wish Zimmerman wouldn’t have shot Trayvon and I wish this whole thing hadn’t happened. I also wish the dad would have forgotten his girlfriend while Trayvon was staying with him. Maybe took Trayvon on a long fishing trip or even took him to dinner with him that night. Basically, I wish Tracy would have devoted all his attention to a troubled Trayvon.
I suppose it is judgmental but that is my thinking on this. This case is as much to do with the break down of the family in this country as anything else. God bless Zimmermna, Trayvon and their families. So tragic—all of it.
