Trayvon Martin: Amazed no one has posted this....

[Kevgoblue]

Is something getting lost in this whole media circus? The cheering and happiness being exhibited today should be coming from Trayvon's parents.

The apparent sensless death of this young man is indeed a sad event. But isn't the larger concern to all of us outsiders looking in, the response, or lack thereof, by the local law enforcement? The police knew who the shooter was. They came upon him with the smoking gun still in hand. Yet they gave him a 30 minute interview and accepted his version of the incident as gospel. Had he been held until some type of legitmate investigation had been completed, most likely those outside of the local community would have never heard the name Trayvon.

Is anyone holding LE's feet to the fire as to why they seemed content to sweep this young man's murder under the rug?

Apparently you haven't been reading. Or only reading the rage inducing rhetoric. The investigator [[police) wanted to charge him initially and filed the case with the prosecutor, who declined the case.

Now, about holding LE's feet to the fire, there is the Pasadena case that nobody seems to be bothering with.
