I Met Trayvon Martins Cousin Last Night in Tacoma

Tacoma had a vigil last night to observe the senseless death of Trayvon Martin at the hands of George Zimmerman. He delivered a compelling voice and said he was in Orlando the night Trayvon was murdered and did not find out until 4 days later. He really put this into perspective. I spent two minutes speaking with Cedrick President Turner.

And make you post incoherent replies questioning why the OP posted in the first place.

The OP posts that he spoke with TM's cousin but can't say anything about the conversation. My question to the OP- is why post it then? I think it's an honest question. How does that make me angry?

a state of suspended animation waiting for SOMETHING to happen. Like Zimmerman's arrest would be nice.
