I was listening to a Tampa based radio show while walking the dogs this evening and heard the black community’s first rebuttals to this new evidence. One caller’s theory is that because trayvon TUABY (the unarmed black youth) was ...unarmed, it was unfair for a grown man to introduce a gun into a fist fight. I am going to call this one the “take your beating and hope for best” theory. But my favorite from today’s callers was the man who insisted that it not possible to beat a bald man’s head on the ground against his will.
The scariest thing that I heard was a couple of callers who had listened to the 911 tapes. Their take was that someone needed visit the houses nearest the shooting and convince some of those people to “admit” what they saw that night. I feel so sorry for the people who cannot afford to get the heck out of that community. It is likely to get a whole lot crazier before this is over.
How could anyone want to leave all that strength that comes from diversity?
