57. Amazing rant.

Jun 2013

I'm scared that If my children are followed by some strange man, they have no options. What do I tell them? If your chased, don't run, cause you'll look suspicious? I'm pissed that the young man did everything I teach my kids and relatives to do, and still died. And the killer is blaming the victim.
He ran to evade him, he tried to hide, used short sentences; " why are you following me?", he yelled for help, finally he fought for his life. Perfect procedure, that child knew how to follow guidelines. Zimmerman refused to do so.
How is that Trayvons fault? We know teenage boys are sometimes abducted for sexual purposes.
Remember Ben Ownby and Shawn Hornbeck? I think he was worried about that.
How can people defend the actions of a child killer?
