Trayvons blood curdling screams still ring in my ears. The screams pierced to my soul. But an all female jury so blinded by hate and racism allowed a child killer to walk free. They refused to see a 17 year old black kid as the victim. THIS MUST STOP!
I am calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to file charges against Trayvons killer. Dr Martin Luther King said Justice delayed is Justice denied. Feb 26th would be a good day to bring the charges! Trayvon Martin deserves justice. His innocent blood cry out from the grave.
3ChicsPolitico will ALWAYS remember Trayvon Martin. We will NEVER forget how the American justice system failed him badly. We wont stop protesting and crying out until Trayvon Martin receives equal justice under the law!

(37,573 posts)946 under the age of 16 and 1,187 under the age of 18.
If these have been average years, over 1800 children under the age of 16 have been killed in the last two years.
Many without their killers being caught.
It has been almost two years since Ranisha Jones was shot and nobody has been charged. The same person, or persons, also killed Keith Barrett and shot a baby. http://fox4kc.com/2012/03/05/woman-remembers-boyfriend-sister-killed-in-kck/
16 year old Jalisa Reed was killed on 17 Mar 2012. Somebody was charged with 2nd degree murder in December 2012, but I cannot find a record, as of yet, of a conviction or even a trial, or an arrest.
Among others.

(6,119 posts)I'm reading biography of Eleanor Roosevelt and how she tried to get (begged) her husband, FDR, to pressure Democrats to pass a bill that out lawed lynching. She invited different black leaders to the White House to convince her husband to do something. He didn't.. and there were more and more torture, lynching, burning.
How many young black men, boys, girls, women have to be shot by people standing behind these inhumane laws, passed by racist politians?
2 years and still DOJ doesn't hold anyone accountable.
