Brandon ravens football field. Hundreds held candlelight vigil. Momma says he was a good boy. Pics of the vigil straight out of Hollywood all across the front page of the Metro Section. Afro-Americans en masse, weeping and gnashing of teeth. Insurance against a riot? And not one word in this garbage paper about the elderly woman in the wheelchair at the fair who got trampled by these bastards and had her purse stolen. Not ONE WORD. And this POS idolized and given fame and rewarded for despicably bad behavior and making incredibly stupid personal decisions which cost him his life. Including it's illegal to walk across a limited access highway in Florida. Does that fact even come up as an issue???? Guess this is what the Sheriff's Department meant when they talked about engaging in "outreach" to the A-A community leaders to stop the wilding. Yeah this kind of public spectacle will stop it alright. Evil personified and fed to the masses as virtue. We shall overcome. Satan walks amongst us now in broad daylight and doesn't even bother anymore to disguise himself.

She’ll sue and claim that he son had nothing to do with the crimes being committed at the fair, that he was a perfect Treyvon.

[the OlLine Rebel]

It’s possible that he was ejected en masse, just part of the teenage element they didn’t want there.

Either way, he died because of crossing an interstate some 3 hrs later! Why there is concern about the fair, I don’t know.

Painful as it is, we need to stop selfishly trying to pin blame on anyone but the victim. I’m tired of this unseemly behavior. And frankly tired of vigils. It does nothing but look pathetic, like we can’t handle anything, just like the ridiculous constant flag-lowering that goes on now.

Andrew died Feb. 7 as he tried to cross Interstate 4 on foot and was struck by a passing vehicle.

Yeah, that happens. If it happened to my son, we'd say, "We're all very sad, but Tom died of Stupid."

[Veggie Todd]

He was an aspiring rapper and trying to turn his life around.

People who celebrate "heroes" like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and St Skittles, what do you expect?

A significant percentage of our populace is seriously disordered, morally.

[Little Ray]

One of the little $#!+s that ran “wilding” at the state fair, eh?
Society is better for his passing.

[I want the USA back]

They don’t really care about the ‘victim.’ It’s just another chance to wallow in self-pity and victimhood.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Sometimes terminal stupidity prizes.

Thai's have a perfect word for it. สมน้ำหน้า It loosely means you got what you deserved. In my weird phonetics, it's pronounced as som nam naa, but its just one word in Thai and fits perfectly for the little thug.

[ExCTCitizen]

We were at the fair and we saw lots of kids there without their 'parents'. The first Friday of the fair is a day off for the students so they can get in the fair. I'm not sure, but why was the kid - who was kicked out of the fair - not at the fair with his parents?

We decided we aren't going to the Florida Strawberry Fair, because teens are usually without their 'parents' there too. We aren't going back to the Florida State Fair. The Big E is better.

[sarasmom]

He was just 14 years old, and now he is dead.
That's sad.

Perhaps I am just not as smart as you are, but I didn't know this child, and I haven't heard a lot of details on his particular “case”.There are claims that he was among the ejected group of miscreants, but given what I have read and heard, I am not certain that was the case.

I am smart enough to not say hatefull things about someone else's dead child, and the friends and families mourning of his passing.

Are you stating this particular boy was positively identified as being involved with "wilding", assault and/or theft?
What source do you have for that claim?
