Everything About The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin Trial Is Awful

Everything about the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin trial is awful. Everything. First and foremost we saw the horrific pictures of a dead Trayvon Martin. The news media cameras turned to Trayvon’s parents as they showed them, hoping to catch their grief. I see Trayvon’s mother look away, and my heart breaks into a million pieces for her. I have a 16 year old son. I imagine for a moment it’s him, and I close my eyes with all the anguish I feel in just imagining it. Even if you feel Zimmerman should be acquitted, don’t forget the grief of these parents.

I’m following it, watching it live, trying to look at it objectively, the way a juror might. I follow along with twitter. Twitter seems to bring out the worst in humanity when it comes to race, on both sides. Trust me, if you are following this trial, don’t follow it on twitter.

Why do we feel a need in this society to tear apart people who are involved in a story? We know how everyone came down on Rachel, the friend of Trayvon who was on the phone with him that night. She was not the most articulate witness. God, I hope she didn’t put her name in the search engine of twitter. And believe me, it was bad stuff from both black and white people. Then there was a picture of the daughter of Zimmerman’s attorney eating ice cream with her Dad celebrating his work that day. Not the best idea, but does that justify photoshopping her hashtags with racial slurs to make her look bad? Because people were retweeting it, and thinking she wrote that. Then there were those trolling her friend’s pictures on Instagram looking for something to embarrass her with.....

They are failures. They are memorable only as an example of what not to do.

What color hoodie was Trayvon wearing at the 7-11 ?

BUT... there is a DEE DEE involved in the Brandy Green/Tracy Martin home (used loosely). I think I found out who she is.

Thanks for the laugh! I was cranky, it was late and I had lost my sense of humor regarding the whole sham.

Thanks :)

If the parents never come to grips with the fact that they raised a wannabe thug, then they shall never find peace.

They cannot find peace, for they can never admit the truth.
