Cool Down….


It is unbelievable to see the amount of misdirected emotions going on in the USA concerning this kid in Florida.  The nationwide media is partly to blame along with all of the people who want to make a race war.  If this is what people want please continue blindly protesting and demanding for justice that will never happen.  Nobody is paying attention to the real facts that are coming out.  If this man Zimmerman was 100% guilty of committing this crime he would be in jail right now.

I read about how Spike Lee tweeted an address supposedly belonging to George Zimmerman, but it ended up being an elderly couple that have now had to flee thier home for their safety.  This is absolutely wrong and does not benefit anyone associated with this case/incident.  People need to cool down and take a step back in a very real way right now or there will more trouble.  “Reverend” Al Sharpton is flaming a fire with gasoline and any church I’ve been associated with does NOT incite violence.  Actually they should be praying for George Zimmerman if he had true hate in his heart so that he be free of it, but that is another story.  It is the truth though if you have any knowledge of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I’m not here to preach.  Not my MO, but I thought it should be said.  I usually tell jokes, use curse words, and just write because it is fun to do so.  I’m scared for the fact that without knowing any details of what actually happened that night people across the United States threw common sense out the window and ran head first with their eyes closed.  I would be scared to be at the recieving end of the witch hunt that is now under way.  We have authorities in place to handle these problems and to stay civilized we must allow them to do their jobs.  Anyone can twist facts to support their point of view and it has been done in this tragedy in a way that I’m appalled to see.

The pictures circulating of Trayvon are from a few years ago.  That is just a fact.  He was not the little boy they are showing in the pictures.  He was 6′ 3″ tall and broke this man’s nose.  He then proceeded to smash the back of his head into a concrete sidewalk while George Zimmerman pleaded for help from surrounding neighbors.  This is according to an eye witness and has nothing to do with my beliefs.  I’m not a racist person as I don’t see this as a color issue.  I see this as an incident that happened between two men that both made poor decisions resulting in the death of one of them.  Making poor decisions is NOT always a crime, but sometimes irreversable events do happen in which we must live with them. 

Celebrities and people with influence need to be very careful with their actions because if innocent people like the elderly couple get hurt, I would personally hold them accountable.  In fact if something happened to them after Spike’s tweet he should be put in jail.  That is more irresponsible than both Trayvon and George combined in my mind.  They did nothing wrong and because one person wants to support “the cause” with complete disregard for facts should be a punishable offense.

There is absolutely no way this country can EVER overcome racial matters if both sides insist on identifying people by color.  Again I make jokes and talk shit about all people from all walks of life because I think it is funny.  In fact everyone does behind closed doors, I just happen to open those doors and not care what people think.  I have lots of friends which happen to look all kinds of different ways.  I enjoy them for who they are and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.  This entire situation is blown out of proportion by a grieving mother and father that have been taken advantage of to support a racial cause that is NOT going to help anyone in this country.

They are angry because they lost their son, I don’t blame for being such, and I can’t imagine the pain they are feeling.  It is under extremely unfair circumstances that they did, and my heart truly goes out to them. Although unfair and as heartbreaking as it is, Trayvon did attack this man and he is now dead because of it.  Had he not done this he would be just fine today.  Making this a national debate and a “cause” isn’t going to change the facts or help this family get through the grieving process.  Please talk with your kids and let them know that only seconds of poor decision making can result in a lifetime of pain and suffering, or worse the loss of a life altogether.

    Very good! We agree whole heartedly! Unfortunately parents don’t teach their kids to be respectful, but rather you don’t have to take any crap off anybody. So kids puff up like banie roosters as soon as someone questions them rather than thinking someone might have a concern. It all comes down to having respect for others, and not being afraid of people. Your grandfather told me about an incident during the war which I think says alot about what we were taught. In the prison camp they had a Jewish doctor come in to help the prisoners during the process the guards decided to attact the doctor – at some point your grandfather (a prisoner) stepped in and told the guards to stop “Enough – you’re a man, I’m a man, he’s a man. Enough” .
    Luckily they didn’t kill him, or there would be no Bucky to rant. I agree he missed the boat on lots of things, but he did get this right, and I’m proud that all of you kids got it right. Love, MOM
