ok i wish the poll hadnt closed, so i could register my resounding NO.
is this what we've become now? a paranoid country? why is we will sit here and say 'why doesnt anybody help? why dont people call the police when they see kids in a pedo's back yard? why dont we do something when someone is beating his wife? why wont people search for missing kids or adults?"
because from what i've seen, when people help, people run after them with pitchforks and torches. it doesnt even have to be crime. people that perform the heimlich manuver to save someone's life end up getting sued by that person, cause of a cracked rib. kronk and the tes searchers are being used as scapegoats by the defense in the anthony case. james king rescued nadia from a mudpit before she starved to death and yet people villified him in the newspaper comment sections.
and now this.
i think some of it is obviously that he is black. part of it is hes big. and most of it is cause he's male. if this was a 14 year old girl, white black, whatever, do you think we'd be sitting her debating this? if a white male or female had taken that girls hand and lead her out the store, no one would have even noticed. but now we got some so called 'sex offense expert' (and how is he an expert may we ask?) judging this kid from 2 minutes of video tape.
when the mom went out and found them, there was no altercation. she did not as the police claim 'hold them in the store till police came.' no, in fact he and his mom went back and went shoe shopping. she, from my conjecture, went back to the person who alerted her that he had walked off with her daughter. what ensued then? the mom most likely had said 'thanks' to the kid when she found them. now she is telling the store employee to call police? im assuming the store employee fillled her head with his/her pre concieved prejudice of what the kid had supposedly had in mind. and what happens next? the police come. store employee and mom both want kid arrested. kid is arrested pretty much on nothing.......i mean NOTHING. just a PERCEPTION of what MIGHT have happened. so then the cops parade him out to the media. then they question him for 6 hours and try to break him.....and fail. then they hold him anyways.
what happens next? girls mom says 2 days later she doesnt want to press charges. why the change of heart? most likely her daughter verified most or all of the kids story. but ALAS! the police hear none of it. the girl is 'too young to understand what happened!" of course, what that really means is 'the girl isnt backing up our garbage charges so we're not listening to her or her mom.' and now he is facing bogus felony charges cause he tried to do the right thing.
and then we wonder, 'why dont kids care about other people?"
it is inconievable to me that, if he really was trying to kidnap the girl and got busted, that him and his mom would just go back and go shopping. absurd, nobody is that stupid.
our country is falling apart.
