With what happened in Florida and what's going on around the country at some point the citizens have to look inward and understand society is broken when it comes to it's citizens.

Vigilante Madness in Pearland...Not Just in Sanford, Not Just Trayvon Martin!

At some point those in positions of authority should be held accountable. In times of war we all step forward and fight but at home some people are just plain catching hell.

It's like it's " We the people" and them. When will it be and justice for all? It's sad to say but probably not in our lifetime. The world is watching.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. How about an America where squads of black or hispanics form to gun down any whitey who is stupid enough to walk the streets of their neighborhoods? After all, if he is a whitey he has to be a threat!

Remember we already have a good start with groups like the Crips, Bloods, 18th Street gang, the Latin Kings and who can forget MS 13.

Why is it some parents allow their children to engage in all sorts of extremely dangerous and illegal activities, then throw out the race card when someone confronts them about it.

Was this "go-cart" a licensed vehicle with headlamps, side markers, turn signals and stop lamps as required by law?

Was the operator a licensed driver?

Were the parents aware the children were operating a "go-cart" on the public streets?

If so, have they been arrested for child endangerment?

As for the race rag that carried this story, when did she mention race?

What is the evidence against her that she did anything except step in to prevent these kids from really being killed when the parents obviously didn't care?

An obsession with legalistic meddling, regulation, and Political Correctness won't work any better than minding one's own business.

Life is messy, change is painful, and you can't find absolute security on this side of the cemetery; One way or another, (entropy) happens, and occasionally, a fool falls through the cracks.

The American problem is the slant media now must put on stories. It would be nice to hear the other side of the story.

This is a Black website designed to tell the Black story. Too bad they don't tell the whole story.

You mean the side where the police told the man not to follow the teen?

Okay, were you there in Sanford when the shooting happened? So far from what I've read there has been no definitive conclusion as to what happened. Maybe Zimmerman's story is not true and he confronted and attacked Trayvon for no good reason, in which case he should never walk the streets again. Or maybe it is true and he actually was attacked by Trayvon.

Killing someone for no good reason should obviously never be OK, but it seems everybody on both sides of the argument knows EXACTLY what happened even though they were not there.

And as for those little cowardly gangs you've mentioned, they're just one step above terrorist organizations as far as I'm concerned. Surprised you didn't include orgs like the Aryan Brotherhood as well. Hang 'em all I say, they contribute nothing to their communities.
