Discussing Trial In AA Group on DU [View all]

I will be discussing the Trayvon Martin trial in the AA Group, if at all. I accidentally placed the first post in GD and wandered off to tidy my home. Came back and didn't even read through the posts. I just assumed they wouldn't be good.

If I discuss this trial at all, it will probably have to be IN THIS GROUP in order to keep my sanity.

Thank you for this group on DU!
