In Birmingham there are vigils being held for Trayvon and the city council wore hoodies. I like that the family is getting support. They should be getting it. So much about this case is just downright foul. But I had to wonder at the irony in Birmingham holding a vigil for this kid when we have a high per-capita murder rate, and so far this year almost all of the murders have been of young black men. (14 out of 15) I hope this case can be a jumping off point for cities to look into their own murder cases...I'm sure there are a ton of families around here that wish their children had gotten the same exposure when they were killed.
Aside from that this entire case scares me. How many times have I been with friends that looked/dressed just like him and why would anyone ever just SHOOT them while we were getting snacks or just hanging out outside? WTF?
