Sad but true these days…
Help make a difference: VOTE.
UPDATE
(thatcrowoman – this is for you -)
This fell into my lap today. It’s a website called We Are Not Travon Martin. It’s all about healing and not making any more George Zimmermans. It’s not by one person – many people are stepping up to share their thoughts. Go have a read. I promise you’ll feel better about the humans with whom you share this planet 🙂

Two powerful images in a row, Ozmud.
Yesterday’s is my desktop image now.
“Help make a difference: VOTE.”
Amen, Ozmud, Amen.

I gleaned both of these from my FB feed – I try to refrain from commenting but this second one rcvd a comment of: “The Zimmerman case is not about being black.” and I found myself typing before even thinking about it… I said…
“Not about being black? Are you being sarcastic or are you that stupid?”
Then I thought for a moment and added “I can’t believe that’s all you took away from this. A young boy went to the store for soda and candy – never made it home – and at the end of the day the state of Florida said that was ok with them and all YOU can say is that it’s not about being black? How about it’s about being HUMAN.”
It’s NOT ok. The act was not ok. The law is not ok. Stop watching Fox and pay attention to the real world because NOT ONE THING about this case was OK.
I’m so angry I can’t write about this.

Should be me sending hugs to you tcw – you’re the one in the thick of it! Please stay safe *hugs*
(- also too and – learned a long time ago to write my thoughts/comments in a notepad first and copy/paste them into these windows – I never know what the hot keys are but my chubby fingers manage to trip them – especially after I’ve written something tedious in yahoo emails!)

Many thanks for the update, ozmud.
Too many folks in too many Stand Your Ground states are in the thick of it, but maybe now a change is gonna come…
