A different take on TrayVon Martin's Death

Like Everyone else I weep for the loss of an innocent's life. We all know that Zimmerman is guilty. It doesn't matter why Zimmerman made the choices he did: to follow TrayVon after he was told to stop. To antagonize & question this young man. To shoot him in cold blood as TrayVon begged for his life and screamed to listening neighbors for help. Unfortunately for Zimmerman, Florida's stand your ground law does not preclude him from having to prove that he was forced to defend himself.  I personally think that what is worse than the loss of life, is the carelessness in which the Sanford FL, PD treated the entire situation. George Zimmerman went home that night with his gun. Meanwhile TrayVon spent the night listed as a john doe in a morgue tho he had loving parents worried sick as hell when he never returned. There was a cell phone in his possession. No attempt was made to contact his family. I recently read a good editorial, The Curious Case of TrayVon Martin

Recently the Sheriff temporarily resigned, a new Prosecutor was assigned to the case, & the Justice Department has opened an investigation on this case. TrayVon will never come back, but this will cause Florida law makers to take a second look at the stand your ground law, and hopefully add provisions to it, that protect us from the crazy gun wielding Zimmermans of the world, who are actually the antagonist, play the situation to make it appear that they are the victim when left as the last man standing. Zimmerman thought it would be his word against a dead child's.

Alas, I get to my point. Yesterday afternoon, driving down Washington St, Newark headed towards Lincoln Park (around the 500 block) I passed a cop car and one of those huge Newark Emergency Services Trucks with their lights lit. There was a body on a stretcher flat on the ground with a sheet over it. Only a pair of green & white Nikes showing. No one is crying about him. I didn't hear anything at all about him. No one is raising a ruckus about him. At most you hear a 35 sec blurb about a shooting in such in such section of Newark, East Orange, Brooklyn, da Bronx or wherever.Unless its a "good" boy or girl that came from a 2 parent home, that went to school everyday. Is involved in sports, headed to/or enrolled in college NO ONE CARES.
I don't see any marches for our kids in the slums. The crack babies, who don't have mommies or daddies who care. The kids who get stuck in failing school districts. Who come from homes who don't have enough to eat and turn to the streets for that fast money to take care of siblings, or because it's ALL they know. WE have generation upon Generation that only know the struggle, pimpin, crackheads and hoes. They don't truly know the joy of life. I DON'T EVER SEE Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, & everyone else who runs to the spot light hurting for them. Crying for them. Marching for them, Protesting for them. All of the posturing for TrayVon Martin seems Hypocrytical by every single person who keeps posting and resposting and trying to get likes. What happened to him is a travesty.  But it's no different than what happens on these streets every single day. These children are killing each other, these police investigate when they wanna. And no one gives a damn.
