I live on the border of this town, only 10 minutes from where it happened so the news is covering it all the time.
Shame on Al Sharpton for leaving his mother who passed away this morning to come to this rally in Sanford instead.
Shame on the Black Panthers with their posters saying they want the shooter:"Wanted= Dead or Alive"! That is no better than the hatred from the shooter.
He was a Hitler-nut who called the police almost 50 times over everything going on in the little neighborhood from trash cans to stray dogs to cars parked wrong.
He was a vigilante of the worst kind, but the actions, words and posters of many of the protestors are full of racial hatred and their own vengeance without waiting for the legal system to get the facts straight and the grand jury to convene in April.
The Sanford police dept. has been known as the good ole' boys' club, so now that the chief stepped aside, housecleaning can proceed which is long overdue.
Many of the complaints against the police are valid, but that does not condone a lynch mob to assemble and spew their hatred.
Shame on Sanford, but shame on all of us with our deep prejudices, no matter the color.
This assembly in Sanford tonight should not justify this killing as a right to kill in turn, to not follow the legal steps with the now federal investigation, and to flame the fire with reverse discrimination.
Like the old saying from the past,"Can't we all just get along?'
Personally, I was horrified when I heard what happened to Trevon and how this was treated.
May his family find a way to live with their loss of their son, and may all of us learn from this to love and accept each other as all human beings are created equal.
IMO
