In reply to the discussion: Re: Trayvon Martin [View all]gordianot
(15,226 posts)35. There are forces at work here far from targeting and killing a teenager.
Not only are there obvious racial profiling targeting by a civilian who had no justifiable to shoot this young man, now the right wing monsters who cheer capital punishment seem to have injected support for the unsupportable. This was murder committed and almost allowed to be ignored by those paid to maintain justice. The same people applauding capital punishment appear to be willing to allow public slaughter of a teenager with iced tea and skittles.
What or who will be the next?
