Anyone else here too depressed about Trayvon Martin to watch reports on the trial? [View all]

I don't feel like being sad/mad right now. The thought of that kid's character being assassinated over the next few months is too much. His parents look so much older than they did. I don't usually watch trial coverage. I zone out. But I actively don't want to get sucked into this one. Guns, and fantasies of acting out heroics with them, are a American disgrace. I want my head in the sand.
