But the poor child's face will forever be in my mind.

I don't understand how this could happen in 2013. This isn't a kid who was in trouble in any way, but because of the color of this kid's skin, it was okay to kill him.

I am ASHAMED of this country. ASHAMED. Women, gays, and people of color don't count.

No way in hell this was a justified killing. I'll say it right now-The law in Florida is wrong if it lets that killer go free.

Time to start putting out pictures of Mickey with a gun and let FL know tourists don't want to bring their kids to a lawless state with too many guns. Hit them where it hurts- their wallet.

Excuse my foul mouth (keyboard?) but fuck "the greatest country in America". That's done and gone. I have dual citizenship to any EU country, so that's where I'm going (in 5 years).

Racist and corporatists run the US now. Fuck this place. AND i am a mayflower descendant. Fuck the latter-day "Patriots". The minute the moral majority started drowning out the Enlightenment, we were done.
