2. My oldest son was the victim of what I considered a murder. It was ruled an accident.

I understand their pain. I understand why they want justice even though nothing, not even justice can completely ease it. The travesty of what occurred tears my heart apart because it is not only unjust, it is final. The bottom line is their lives will never be the same. All because someone hated, not their son, because he did not even know their son, he hated simply because their son was a wee bit different. It is why I am appalled by those that today call themselves Christian while they spew hate. It is why I cannot abide the Jan Brewers of this world, or the Eric Cantors or the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks. Their total disregard for those that they consider different, whether by color of skin or nationality or religion. They all claim to be somehow greater, more pure but instead are the problem. They are the ones responsible for what occurred that night. And my one regret is because they love to spread their hate, this will not be the last victim we as a nation will have to deal with. And as a nation we will mourn injustice again.
