Like most Kossacks here at the site I too have been touched by the senseless killing of a young Black man by a White/Hispanic or whichever race we want to describe the killer`s color of skin. Since this story broke there has understandably been an outcry for justice. What has touched me most is that I too am a father. I am truly hurt for "I think", I know the pain that is being felt by the parents of this young man. I also know, and "I don`t think I know", that this young innocent life of Trayvon Martin is just another Black life snuffed by racism and I also know it will not be the last. I make no predictions, you can see for yourself. Hopefully this video will shine the true meaning of what I have been witnessing for so long. I think you might find it interesting.

Having watched this video and having lived under another similar killing of a young
Black man here in Wisconsin here, I am astounded to hear Chris Hayes on the video explain how ALEC and the NRA have plotted to design laws like "Stand Your Ground" and "Castle Doctrine" around the country. I will ask you to consider if what you see and hear on this video is the culprit of the senseless killings of young Black and Latinos, and whether these laws are intentionally passed by Racist Republicans and gun fanatics.
What I took out of this video is exactly what these proponents for these laws clearly expected to happen in the Trayvon Martin case and the one in Wisconsin. In the video you will also see a man talking to a 911 dispatcher seconds before the man shot and killed two men with a shotgun. The dispatcher told the man several times not to shoot but the man made clear the "Castle Doctrine" law would immunize him from prosecution. He was right.
There is no way I can pretend to know how many of you feel about this tragic killing but I can tell you that I am touched for one reason other than feeling the pain of the parents. I think that the media in Florida specifically have been trying to divide the Hispanic and Black communities around the country by systemically posting the ugly face of Zimmerman`s Hispanic features throughout the ordeal. I know that we have always known that this motive is only to distract from the Florida police failure to have arrested the killer, and to shift blame on a Hispanic, and not those idiots like Jeb Bush who enacted the Stand You Ground law.
Listen carefully to Lisa Graves explain how and why these stupid laws were passed and by who.
I looked around to see if this video has been shown here and failure to find it I
thought you might want to see it. It will change nothing, only perhaps educate us
on how politics now play with the lives of innocent people like Trayvon Martin, and
a spirited young Black man named Bo Morrison right here in my back yard in a small town named Slinger, Wisconsin. Even the name of the fucking Racist town sounds
obnoxious.
