“A boy’s blood had been spilled on a rain-soaked patch of grass behind a row of mustard-colored condominiums by a man who had pursued him against the advice of 911 dispatchers. That man carried a 9-millimeter handgun. The boy carried a bag of candy.”
The cascade of lacromosity...
Is that a real variation, or the new way to spell forms of the word lachrymose?
My question is, what the heck was Trayvon’s father doing, much less thinking? Did this man realize his son had been suspended for some pretty bad behavior that year? Did he have a clue that his son was stealing from people?!!! I mean seriously, when I grew up, if I so much as did half of what Trayvon Martin did, my father would be administering corporal punishment, which in my day getting a whacking from your parents to give you a clue that you did something that was incredibly defiant, disrespectful, or uncalled for. However, instead of noting Trayvon Martin as a troubled, undisciplined kid who met a tragic end. If anything, one person who infuriates me is a father, or any kind of parent who gets away with pretty much not caring whatever it is that a child is doing. That’s what infuriates me more than anything, is the fact that Trayvon’s family doesn’t seem to even so much as recognize what was going on with a grown kid who was seriously on the WRONG PATH.
