Pure. Undiluted. Evil.
Some moments in our lives can show who and what we truly are. We can rise to the occasion with courage, faith, love, hope, empathy, grace and affection or we can fall to the depths of envy, anger, distrust, fear, hatred and bile.
This diary is not about the former.
It would seem bad enough when Glen Beck's "The Blaze" came out in defense of George Zimmerman, not only arguing that what he did was "Perfectly Legal" if Trayvon Martin was the aggressor, but going further to argue that he must have been the aggressor because he was once suspended from school, and then intimating that the suspension could have been for any reason including "Arson, Sexual Assault, Vandalism, Bullying, Kidnapping, Battery and even Murder".
Seriously, people get 10-day suspensions for Murder where those guys come from? Really? What do you get for Genocide? Corporal Punishment? Expulsion?
This is made I think even more filthy and disgusting when you watch Trayvon's father walk through the murder scene - which is just 70 yards from his home - and describe how Trayvon saved his life by pulling him out of a house fire when he was just 9 years-old.
I post this in contrast to what comes next. If we are to be known by our works, it's clear that Trayvon was a Hero, and that he had great potential to do even more good works.
But that's not how some people see it. Follow me over the flip only if you are strong of stomach and brave of heart.
