To: Let's Roll

My sentiments exactly To be perfectly honest, I didn’t hold our much hope for justice... I pray we can all put this behind us. It was a tragedy for all concerned. I hope God helps Travon Martin’s parents to find peace.

**********************************
As I’ve understood all of this, Trayvon hasn’t lived with his parents since he was about 3 y/o. Another woman (his step-mom?) raised him, but was not highlighted during the trial other than giving an interview on some TV channel.

He was a druggie, burgler, thief who was expelled from school and kicked out of the house by the woman who actually raised him. That’s when he went to Sanford FL to live temporarily at his dad’s girlfriend’s apartment.

I think it’s dispicable that the media played up the bio parents so much, when they had very little to do with raising him. It’s ridiculous that the ambulance-chasing lawyers representing the “family” were able to get a monetary settlement from the gated complex where the thug died!
