As it was, it took several weeks for media to find this story -- or for the family to find the media. Now, it's a circus with all the normal firebrands yelling about racism. Until we know more, I wish they would all be quiet and remember we lost yet another child. The killings need to stop.Betsy Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871010122475160477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544313573726082343.post-44052949784305691852012-04-02T21:10:51.985-04:002012-04-02T21:10:51.985-04:00There is nothing unique about this case. The only ...There is nothing unique about this case. The only reason it's in the news, imo, is because Zimmerman isn't in jail right now. That's the catch, the shock value, the selling point that keeps our morbid population viewing.<br /><br />But children are gunned down on the hour of every hour in our country. Children go missing every minute. Many, many black and Hispanic children. Many white children who are not the typical rich, blonde hair and blue eyed darlings we see on television.<br /><br />I don't think the news does anything to help any of these children, or future victims. It doesn't inspire us to "help", just to watch and wait to see what happens next.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454406837183787620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544313573726082343.post-47881805561850005562012-03-29T17:25:11.202-04:002012-03-29T17:25:11.202-04:00Sharon,

I know it wouldn't work, but I get so frustrated with loss of lives for seemingly no good reason.Betsy Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871010122475160477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544313573726082343.post-34839941966762670112012-03-29T16:56:00.559-04:002012-03-29T16:56:00.559-04:00Nice post.
