(Reblog) What if it was your daughter?

I have been away for a while. I have many reasons for that. Perhaps, however, the reasons would only come across as excuses. No matter. I am back now, mainly because the words of a friend moved me out of my funk of morose complacency.

My friend, Fern, brings up a pertinent question to be asked in the light of the Treyvon Martin case. What if it was YOUR child; more specifically your daughter who ended up being killed and ultimately being blamed as being culpable in her own murder?

The legal system is broken if someone can go out looking for a fight can find one, shoot another unarmed person and be acquitted. I will save the argument for later and simply leave you with Fern’s words from her blog to consider.

What if it was your daughter?
