I am sure by now everybody has heard about Trayvon Martin, the fourteen year-old boy shot and killed by a member of a neighborhood watch association in Sanford, Florida. The boy was simply walking home form the corner store with an ice tea and a bag of Skittles when Zimmerman (a member of the neighborhood crime watch) confronted and killed him. The boy (Trayvon) was on the phone with his girlfriend who heard the confrontation and the gunshot. Zimmerman had called 911, was asked to STOP following the boy, pursued him anyway,and was heard and recorded by 911 calling Trayvon a "Nigger" before he shot the unarmed 14-year old. Zimmerman claimed it was self-defense. He said the 14 year old attacked him, so he has NOT been arrested. The entire state is up in arms. The FBI has stepped in and the governor has been asked to appoint a special prosecutor...and Zimmerman still has not been arrested.

Then there is Corey Lee Sutton, the 14 year-old Lakeland boy who raped and brutally beat a woman at a Florida hotel. He has been charged with sexual battery, attempted second degree murder, and robbery, among other things. The victim, an employee of the hotel, was waiting in a smoking area for her friend to get of work. Sutton saw her and intended to rob her, but "got carried away". From robbery to attempted murder and rape? Just what wires got crossed in his brain? He became aroused by beating a woman nearly to death?

What kind of country is this that a boy cannot safely walk home from a store or a woman cannot wait outside a hotel for her friend to get off work?
