'Missing' on the milk carton.....

On Saturday 13 July 2013, it was deemed legal in the US to chase and kill an unarmed young black man, on his way home from the store, because you didn't like the look of him.

This old white grandmother is worried for the children of my grandson. What have we allowed our country to become?

I thought we had fought and won the civil rights, women's rights, voting rights for our people 40 some years ago. How can we as a society allow this to go on?

The pox that is Sarah Palin is where this was put out in the open and allowed to fester to what it is today. I sickens me to no end. I cannot even imagine how a non-white parent can ease the fear of their children for just walking down the street.

Curse the Koch brothers, ALEC, FOX News and the Tea Party for the hate they spread every day.
