Take what my husband said, start it with “To My Son”, add the below and that is my post for today. To My Son, Did you see the news about George Zimmerman? Or were you in the library studying? Start with what your Dad posted. Then read below. The whole thing makes me sick. The silence is deafening. Chirp. Chirp. You can hear crickets. The prosecutorial team and the jurors have yet to say a word. The sound of their silence speaks volumes and bounces and bangs against my head. The roar of the silence is like the roar of the sea. And like the salt in the ocean, the silence bathes me and seeps into wounds that were not fully healed. They are raw. They sting. They remind me of the angst I have when you are not in my presence…and with you away at school that is my new norm. I know that I cannot protect you against all evil..and so I pray for your safety daily. I am humbled by the insanity of it. However, despite his several brushes with the law, George Zimmerman is neither humbled nor cowered. He would make the same choice again if he met Trayvon or you. I shudder as I watch his smug grin. This is his fourth run in with the law…twice for speeding and twice for aggravated assault. I would say that is a pattern and certainly demonstrates that George has an anger management problem. This should make the truth of what happened that night with Trayvon clearer. The truth that many of us already knew, even as the Prosecutors and jury convicted Trayvon of aggression and thuggery..and he wasn’t’ even on trial. Juror B29…What say you now? You knew…in the same way that anyone who spent a day in your skin/my skin knew….what went down. However, you said nothing during deliberations. Perhaps I am too harsh and you spoke up once or twice. But you allowed yourself to be silenced. The same silence that now screams, “George Zimmerman is guilty of murder!” Words are not necessary. They will not bring Trayvon back. But then again, perhaps they will help heal those still open wounds that cover Mr. and Mrs. Martin. But oh, they carry themselves with such strength and dignity. What now? His estranged wife chose to drop the charges against Zimmerman. And so he continued to be free. She says she believed he was guilty and she didn’t love him. Hmmmmm. I wonder what prompted her change of mind. What will his current girlfriend do? Will she too “change her mind?” Who will do what is necessary to get this man off the street? Is it not clear that he is dangerous? Imagine, despite what has occurred, he is still within his legal right to carry a concealed weapon. Really? What does he have to do…who does he have to kill before justice is truly served? My Son, may God enfold you within his arms and protect you from all harm. Love Mommy
