Trayvon Shines His Light In The Dark Places

A New York Times writer shrugged off Trayvon's killing in an interview saying, 'So many people are
killed in this country every day.'
I thought I had a jaundiced view.
Are under aged children killed by men openly stalking them, who drop by the police station after the
kill, presumably to be patched up and sent home without a pending arrest, booking, or investigation?
If so, why are we attempting to raise children in this country as though it were a peaceful nation?
I personally owe Trayvon a debt of great measure. I hate being blind-sided. But that is exactly what
happened to Sabrina Fulton's boy right before he was killed. Anyone human would easily back off a
child screaming like that, especially anyone armed and human. That  killer remains a dangerous,
menacing, threatening creature. He will never be anything different. Sadly, it took Trayvon to show us that. Trayvon has had to warn us to continue studied vigilance. Policing may be something not done so much for us, but to us.
Of course, I say all this as a matter of what I see in humanity as a whole. I see Trayvon's murder as an inhuman act perpetrated by a creature in human form, something quite apart from any act a real person could conceive when seeing a young person strolling down the street, distracted by an apparently excited phone call.
Only since hearing the Sanford, FL Police Department considered a proper response to the
killing of a child was to test only the child's body, have I seen what can still happen in America, even
worse than the killing of Medgar Evers- because the coward who killed Medgar Evers at least
attempted to evade the police.
Now when I drink a Coke or Pepsi, for instance, I think about how I would have had no more than
a sketchy view of ALEC and the insidious partnership it forged with the NRA in order to get 'stand ground' laws enacted in every state possible.
Since this is an election year, I am especially relieved to know what things are possibly at stake when
I wonder why some of the companies whose products I purchase are involved with organizations like
ALEC in the first place.
I realize now more and more how many politicians can be lethal in our governmental policy-forming
citizen advocacy functions.
Thinking of the political non-reactions to your dad's pleas for an attempt at justice, I am paying more
attention to representative philosophies like that of the atheist Ayn Rand, in the public admirings
of officials like Paul Ryan in the U.S. House of Representatives.  He could be a U.S. Vice President?
Then we will be suffering a reactionary government.
We could have a Hispanic vice president who has no particular inclination to advocate for other Hispanics, or even admit that his heritage is akin to theirs.
We could be looking at a very reactionary government.
The governor of the state where you were killed signed, under protest of citizens and law enforcement eschewing vigilantism, the very law the predator who killed you is using to get away with his assault. A great many people want him as a U.S. President or Vice President.
We'd have an increasingly hostile-to-citizens-rights government.
Many of the other candidates for office are famous for wanting to legislate the rights of citizens back to 1950 or earlier, while removing modern legislation from the most destructive practices of corporations.
Had it not been for your sacrifice, Trayvon, and that of your beleaguered family, I would have noticed
a lot fewer egregious attack dog practices on U.S. citizen tendencies to erroneously equate U.S. laws
with justice, in American society.
Your light, Trayvon Martin: let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
