Sad watching the discussion on MSNBC

[Just Saying]

Melissa Harris-Perry and Joy-Ann Reid with tear in their eyes.

Reid "Me, as a mom, I am completely flabbergasted as to what to tell my kids. I don't know what I'm going to say to them when I get home. I really don't. Because I can't answer the question where is it can you go that people will think you belong and that you're okay to be there. And now its not just police that can follow you and that you have to worry about how you talk to them, how you respond to the,pm, don't make any sudden movements. And we tell our boys that. But civilians too? I really don't know where to go with this honestly."

Heartbreaking.

1. Not going to look at that shit.

[SaveAmerica]

2. The same thoughts have been going through my mind, is the Wild West

the answer? Cause I teach my kids all of those precautionary ways to avoid aggressors but now it seems that the only answer for people in a place as crazy as Florida is to get them as many self defense classes and a gun permit.

3. Canada....

4. Tell your kids not to assault people

Then continue to beat them while they are yelling for help.

Don't do that and you will be ok

[Shivering Jemmy]

6. What an embarassment you must be to all who once loved you.

[mzmolly]

7. You mean, tell your kids not to chase people and shoot them

while they're yelling for help.

[Rex]

8. So it is okay to follow someone and shoot them!?

Nice set of priorities you got there, pathetic.

[BigD_95]

12. Too bad for u

That's not wt happen.

Sorry I don't make things up to fit what I believed happen

[TeamPooka]

10. more accurately don't defend yourself too well or else. Lose - lose

be careful out there.
If you are attacked you might deserve to die for defending yourself if you do a good job at it.
According to you.

11. Before or after a strange man follows them and they run from the strange man? you left that part out

There is something sick in this country when a monster can walk free and an innocent young black child is murdered while trying to get home. Today’s not a good day for the so called justice system. This is wrong. Just wrong.

9. I don't have access to MSNBC

and CNN was showing Living Golf by the time I found out. I'm overseas and don't have access to much.

13. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

I haven't watched the news since reading the verdict here on DU. I don't want to see the smirk on that murderer's face as he walks free. And yes, what do you tell your son if he is a black male? I don't know the answer to that.
