It's starting to feel a lot like the whole Trayvon/Zimmerman thing around here again

Especially with the release of the video by the Ferguson PD.

Some people trying to justify the execution of an unarmed teenager.

I recommend liberal use of the ignore function.

I'm waiting for two people to show up - and when they do? I'm going to use all of their words they used against Trayvon Martin last summer against the cop.

haven't you heard? With Obama in the POTUS seat, we're a 'color blind' society now, hell even justice roberts said it, so it must be true!!!! this country is helped to be like the by the people you're asking about. Don't, won't, can't allow themselves to see it, feel it, admit it. Racism is the root of an immense evil in this country.
