>>. Inode, my issue is that you seem to feel more for those kids who died because they were dealing in illegal narcotics than for Trayvon Martin who was dealing in a bag of Skittles.

Not the case at all. I have a problem with Obama using it for political purposes while he turns a blind eye to all the innocent, and sometimes not so innocent, lives lost in this idiotic drug war.

I think what happened in the case of Trayvon, from what I've seen of it, was murder. But it is no more a murder in my view than was what happens in every city on a daily basis which Obama and almost all other politicians just look away to avoid.

If Obama really wanted to make a difference he would try to do something about thousands of drug related murders, rather, he chooses a politically convenient one to speak out about. It is sorry.

A three year old kid gets gunned down in a Miami neighborhood and he has nothing to say about it. Gunned down because of stupid drug laws. Where was he then?
