Even Alan West took Trayvon's side initially, until later info made that untenable.
Dumbass move.
He should have known better.
From my reading, it seems this young man was pursued and there was no probable cause to engage him, certainly not pursue and shoot him .against the direction of the 911 responder. Lets all be appalled at this instance not because of race, but because a young American man has lost his life, seemingly, for no reason.
What he read was the "press" coverage that was intentionally distorted to the point of outright lies. Is that an excuse? No. But it does not diminish my respect for Allen West.
If West is that quick to judgement, he is pandering to the brothers, and no better than Hussein.
Certainly not national leadership material.
