WHAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN
After the verdict of not guilty came down I was angry as hell. I can't imagine another person walking free after committing a crime. The death of Trayvon Martin could have been avoided, and no one person can tell me otherwise. George Zimmerman had all the power to avoid what ended up happening but he did not. This is the last entry I plan to write on this subject but I hope it will be the most powerful one. The one right that was violated above all others was a kid's right to life. I don't know any details about Trayvon personally and I don't claim to, nor do I know any details about Zimmerman either.
When Trayvon Martin was killed, every single negative factor conspired in order to make that tragedy a real one. One man's boundless ignorance and hero complex along with other factors made that night a possibility. Was it right? Rhetorical question as anyone with common sense knows the answer to that. Trayvon should still be alive and Zimmerman should be in his house watching Observe and Report while thinking about the release of GTA 5. The way reality went, the ideal scenario is only the dream. There are calls to action with regards to justice, civil rights, and gun laws. This country has a sharp division on opinion.
What we as a civilized society should not allow is real civil unrest and violence to break out. It was one man's antagonistic nature that created this incident, let's not allow that same nature to permeate our society. What our past leaders taught us was that we can make a peaceful stand in order to effectively get our point across. Those leaders, men that gave their lives, would not allow inflammatory rhetoric to take over. Let's think logically and change the game in a civilized manner. Violence and anger will not bring back Trayvon, and they sure as hell won't change the fact that Zimmerman is free. A call to action and a proper display of fact will change a lot more. In 1963 one man spoke of a dream, if he were alive today he would probably speak peacefully about the wrongs in this situation and attempt to do something about it.
The more violence and inflammatory language we use, the less difference we will make. Until there is a real effort to bring about real justice, everyone screaming for justice will simply be a member of an unorganized mob. Violence and ignorance got us to this point, let's allow common sense and intelligence to bring us out of it.

VIOLENCE BORES ME
You know something? I am so sick of violence in general. I abhor people that think in their tiny minds that they are somehow better because they can either shoot a gun or beat someone senseless. I am still yet to understand the primal human need to see who can piss a longer stream in the jungle. The truth of the matter is that no matter what you do or how inadequate you feel, acts of violence will not make you a better person. Let me go point by point on the things that bother me the most in this world of ours.
- Violence Against Women- A man thinks that by beating a woman he establishes himself as king shit. Please go take care of your micro penis complex in a psychiatrist couch you don't impress anyone. If you are tough try wrestling an alligator down in the bayou.
- Violence Against Children- Men or women do not have the right to rob children of their few precious years of love and innocence. The fact is children are born pure of heart and mind and none of us have the right to screw that up.
- Violence Related to Drugs- Anytime drugs are involved someone is shot, wounded, or completely fucked in some unimaginable way. The problem with this type of violence is that it does not always affect people directly or indirectly involved with drugs.
- Violence in Protest- Again this is the type f thing that does not need to happen. Martin Luther King protested segregation with non violence and he changed the view of an entire country. Gandhi preached non violence and stands as the type of figure whose understanding of sacrifice really encouraged a whole movement.
