Disappointing is not the adjective that I would have used. I am totally revolted by the entire situation.
Yes I am sure that GZ's Daddy made some phone calls, that is most likely the reason that his prior arrests were eventually dropped as well.
I just hope that their higher power will give Trayvons family the strength that they will need for this fight, and I hope they sue everyone in the Police Department, the HOA that allowed GZ to be their neighborhood watch captain, GZ, and anybody else that they can right down to their socks, scratch that, I hope they get their socks too!
I know that they would prefer simple justice for their child, but it begins to look as if they are going to have to do some financial damage before any of the responsible parties in the whole farce will even notice.
How can it be self defense, when GZ hunted down a kid for walking in his neighborhood and being black in a hoodie? Why does LE not even treat it as if it was a shooting, they act as if GZ had run over a dog or something, no questions and never even under arrest.
For everyone who just sits back and says, well it's the law, I hope you don't have kids, and that nobody decides that your kid looks suspicious because they dress funny or have piercings or tattoos, or is the wrong color, or is too loud....If we just let this go, don't be surprised if the next time it's someone you know, or even your own kid, This is just sooo messed up.
