I want you to read this columnist's article regarding the Trayvon Martin case.
I admit I struggled with it at first. Sometimes Orlando Sentinel reporters try so hard to be impartial that their articles turn to pablum because they don't bring in anything new. Or because we on the internet have information that contradicts what they write so we just assume the rest of the article is full of holes.
But every now and then, something is said that has never been said before by the paper, and you just go SHAZAAAM! I'll post what was written because it nearly brought tears to my eyes since I've been waiting for fifteen years for someone to acknowledge it. However, do try to read the rest of the article because it's always good to hear both sides of an argument, and better to hear it from this source than Fox News.
This is the clip that popped out of the article:
"I understand why Trayvon's family was screaming for justice — and why the Sharptons of the world were calling for independent eyes.
"The state attorney in Seminole County has a checkered past. He has a proven track record of being wrong and refusing to admit his mistakes — refusing to even investigate them until science later proved him wrong."
Here's a link to the main article:
Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman narratives missing 1 thing: Facts
Based on what I've read about Trayvon Martin, he was a loving 17-year-old who cared for his quadriplegic uncle and played with his 7-year-old cousin.
Based also on what I've read, Trayvon got in trouble at school, used vulgarities and liked gangster rap.
