thanks everyone and yes Harry I agree with you on every point...it is a shame that they keep letting him get away with breaking the law...maybe the next time he hurts or kills someone they will do the right thing?

I am with you Harry and Lisa. One good thing is at least they are looking at the iPad for evidence. They have not ruled out charging him this time. He is a very dangerous man...great poem Lisa!

Justice for Trayvon
death of their son
is the death
of all of our
dear sons
root of hatred
runs deep
within a fearful
mind and soul
self-appointed
neighborhood
watcher man
who thought he
was the man
committed
the ultimate crime
against mankind
and took the life
of a "suspicious"
looking young man
who was wearing
a hoodie and
who was "armed"
with a can
of Arizona tea
and a bag
of Skittles
a life of promise
and a kid's dreams
of playing football
and flying airplanes
erased in seconds
a mother, a father
forever left grieving
for their son’s laughter
and loving embrace
for the remainder
of their lives
they will forever hear
the recorded
sounds of their
son’s last frightened
screams for help
all because
their son
was a young man
whose only crime
was walking down
a dark street
while Black
cries of injustice
speak louder
than the reckless
actions of this
one lost man
a call for calm
has been made
to try to quiet
the brewing storm
within
engulfing winds
screams justice
for Trayvon

WOW Lisa, you had your hand on the pulse of a serious and disturbing underlying problem in our inner cities....with all that is going on in St. Louis and Ferguson MO, you certainly could foresee what was coming around the corner...you are a prolific and profound writer that I treasure!
