"It shouldn't be about color, race, religion or anything else. Unfortunately it is now whether or not it was that way to begin with. I apologize if my opinion is hard for some of you to understand. Nonetheless, it is intended with no disrespect to the loss of this young man's life."

This isn't difficult to understand, and IMO is not a hard opinion, rather facts.

I've avoided posting on this subject because I do not want to be misunderstood. There are posters that I have grown to care very much about who are on opposites sides of this "debate" (want for a better term).

There is no doubt that a travesty in justice has happened here, and that travesty has resulted in a young man losing his life. NOW, I don't personally give a damn about the color of his skin or the race/creed/religious preference of his killer. None of those facts change the ending result in the slightest, and it is STILL a horrible situation.

I, too, believe that Sharpton and a couple of other people have used certain outlets as a means to spread this terrible incident and to slant facts about this young life to promote their personal agendas. Whether the shooting was racially motivated or not, they have indicated that it is.

Using this young man's death as a means to promote their personal agendas is sickening to me.

You are pretty much a new comer to this board granny, but I can tell you how it would go on here if it was a white kid that got killed by a hispanic. The usual suspects on this board would be calling for locking down the borders, and going on a manhunt for the Mexican that killed the kid. That's a fact, I heard this crap from them for years now.
