Since your post is about kids born into poor families, thr Trayvon case falls in this category. What happened is horrific and the law passed by Florida is uncivilized. Under which civilized society's law should it be OK for a youth to even possess a gun much less use it. That guy was not properly trained on it's use. This is the situation that Obama spoke about when he delivered his famous "race relation in America" speech as candidate Obama where he mentioned about the prejudice his white grandmother had where she would be afraid to see a burly black human being walking across the street. The kind of prejudice the Cambridge policeman displayed when he saw a black man (a famed professor) trying to break open the door of his house. The other day, I was speaking with a Republican friend of mine, who it was obvious is in the "hate email" circuit like that Montana judge who forwarded the crass email about O's mother. He said that "O would not be where he is today if Mike Ditka decided to run against him for the Illinois Senate seat." what a stupid argument and deep is the level of hate for such a stupid argument.

And I wonder, how could these bastards who harbor such hatred be destroyed particularly when they profess by day that they have God in their hearts but by night they preach hatred. It is sad that a innocent 17 year was denied the opportunity of life when his Creator willed that that opportunity be given to him. And what is worse is that the perpetrator is still not in jail. Imagine, if he was a police officer, he would have been suspended pending enquiry. But this youth is walking the Earth as if everything is normal. Should he not be at least put away into protective custody?
