Firing off...Florida teen case

Alright, so I've been kosher up until this point but my blogger fans are begging me to push and turn on my "edgy, opinionated, sister girl side." So here it goes!

I can honestly say that when I saw this story, which I've been following since it broke just as everyone else has, I was in disbelief. It still isn't' real that this young man is dead and that this nightmare occurred but a few counties from me.  However, unlike most people, the color of his skin is irrelevant. I see the point being made about him being stereotyped, get it. I see the point being made about if it were a white teen the outcome would be different, get it. But as a Mom...SOMEONE'S BABY IS GONE AND IS NEVER COMING BACK! As a mom, that stings like HELL! A child? My baby? Is gone and dead for some reckless, ignorant, foolishness??? REALLY? You are a GROWN MAN, you honestly felt threatened by my son and his...skittles?
