Trayvon - America Holds It's Breath

Obama no doubt has put himself in the place of Trayvons father since the news broke. It was bound to happen sooner or later, in Jeb Bush's state, no less. The reaction and action from Holders justice department in the next 2 weeks or so will confirm once and for all who and what we worked so hard to elect in 2008. Like it or not.

DOJ has nothing to do with it at this point.

Let the state of Florida deal with it ...Rick Scott has appointed a special prosecutor.

I'm okay with waiting to see what she comes up with.

Peace.

... let Mississippi deal with it's own lynchings during the civil rights era?

But his breath was taken from him by a wanna be. The wanna be should be behind bars this very minute I might add.
