That long time freepers are being personally attacked for their opinion and if it isn't hoodies, it's tattoos or baggy pants mean something bad and definitely black, and I MUST HATE ZIMMERMAN, it's obvious.

Yeah, I've picked up on that. I've read posts that came close to saying "he wore a hoodie; he needed shooting." Or "he had on a hoodie, that's proof to me that he attacked Zimmerman, and the underlying, unspoken part seems to be 'he had on a hoodie [and he was black], that's proof to me that he attacked Zimmerman'." I think of the outsiders reading FR and I simply cringe.

I have my distance glasses on. Sorry for the statement there about fearing fear itself which came out wrong.

Nobody knows how long this is going to unfold. I just can't imagine the vitriol could possibly exist at this level until a final resolution. It takes a lot of negative energy to post such cringeworthy statements. I'm hopin' the vitriol tapers off.

The kid's official pages are tame. Maybe they have a PR person running their pages but they're not going out of bounds imo. I bet they have a PR person which was a smart thing to do.
