I like what some "heroes" do, lets leave it at that. Not big on hero worship. my heroes are people in my life that I can admire, my friend who is setting up a life for her disabled son, so he can carry one after she dies from kidney diseases, my Mom, who did it all for her kids. She wasn't perfect, but she really loved her kids. My friends who are all trying to help the environment and the world to be a better place. They could just be thinking of themselves.

oh for sure they're framing it differently than the outright racism at the freak republic but they still think targeting, stalking and killing an unarmed teen is justifiable

who think their right to fear and paranoia overrides the right of a 17 year old innocent kid to walk home from the store without being confronted - if they thought otherwise they would not believe Zimmerman's RIDICULOUS story
