I work and live near sanford Fl where treyvon Martin was shot and killed. And I saw a huge contrast between what everyday people who lived in sanford verses what the news reported. (A lot of the protesters where shipped/bussed in) To me it seemed a lot of the anger and hate put on tv was not what the community felt. A lot of the black people I spoke with in the area thought treyvon got what he deserved, and if they were in zimmerman's place they would have shot him as well.
I get there are a lot of angry people and rightly so if the news is accurate. But even if this one man was wronged and life cut short is the looting and riots they way to Handel this wrong?
On the otherside is the police response too strong? Or is this show of force what is needed to contain the situation?
I suppose if the immediate black community in Montegomery didn't feel like sticking up for Rosa Parks, then You would think the entire civil rights movement would no longer have a leg to stand on.
Not very typical of many Christians back then, but I suppose quite typical of the evangelical sprouter of the prosperity gospel today.
