Where is the outcry for this???

[ajcorleone]

Not that the president has to add his 2 cents to every tragedy but where is his voice on this?



You won't recognize me. My name was Antonio West and I was the 13-month old child who was shot at point blank range by two teens who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot. A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick GA determined the teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty...too bad I was given a death sentence for being innocent and defenseless.

My family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder was not ruled a Hate Crime. Nor did President Obama take so much as a single moment to acknowledge my murder.

I am one of the youngest murder victims in our Nation's history, but the media doesn't care to cover the story of my tragic demise, President Obama has no children who could possibly look like me - so he doesn't care and the media doesn't care because my story is not interesting enough to bring them ratings so they can sell commercial time slots.

There is not a white equivalent of Al Sharpton because if there was he would be declared racist, so there is no one rushing to Brunswick GA to demand justice for me. There is no White Panther party to put a bounty on the lives of those who murdered me. I have no voice, I have no representation and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life.

So while you are seeking justice for Trayvon, please remember to seek justice for me too. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee shirts with my face on them and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Trayvon.

Thank you.

Idk wick, sometimes it seems like we are the same page on certain topics. I tend to agree with a lot of what you say on here.

Jesus Christ when will this end.

I don't give a damn anymore, I really don't.

I just wish every black, white, brown, yellow, green, aqua, red, pink, gray, and turquoise person in this country would just shut up about this case and we could move on to more important matters.

So you, like many others I'm sure, think this is about Trayvon Martin and not Antonio West. Nice.

This story doesn't further the national narrative, so it gets no play. (I'm in full agreement with wickabee)

You think there are more important matters than innocent children being killed? You are clueless.

Did you just refer to Jesus????????? Now i am confused.
