(550 posts)It's just a couple things that nag slightly. I sure wish the police would have done the interview much sooner without being forced into it by third parties and politics.
One thing she said reminded me of myself in high school. Heck, i was a momma's boy. in more ways than one.
For one thing, I had trouble displaying masculinity in front of females, both young and old. Wasn't weak or shy in any other way. Almost a jock though not a fighter/bully. Funny how many girls gravitated towards the latter.
One day I purposely picked a fight with a guy over a stupid slight which normally I would laugh off. I wanted to impress a girl that was watching us.(which I did) Felt bad about about it later but hey, it got results! Or at least I thought it did
Listening to DeeDee I wonder if the same thoughts occurred to Trayvon. Could it be that's why he stopped outrunning the old guy, held his ground, and fought?
Could it be If he wasn't on the phone with DeeDee he might still be alive? Nobody to prove to?
Boys can definitely have bad judgment, not that justifies their death but it does have consequences.
