Michael Vick killed a dog he went to jail [View all]

Plaxico Burress shot himself in a club and was sent to jail and still fighting with NFL teams to play him.

Marissa Alexander from Florida was sent to jail for 20 years for shooting the ceiling by this same Prosecutor
that prosecuted Trayvon Martin's case yet George Zimmerman is acquitted from all charges for killing a
17 years old boy and he gets to keep the gun that he used.

Where is the justice????

Try explaining this to your kids as an African American?
