It's Watch!... Neighborhood Watch. Not shoot.

I thought the kid wasn't from that neighborhood. He was just visiting somebody, right?

 

He was visiting either his mother or his father depending on what news story you read.

 

The last thing the cops wanted to believe was that the kid was supposed to be in the neighborhood, I'm sure.

 

She might not even know the parents. How many 'girlfriends' did you have in high school you never introduced to your folks? Plus, the parents are divorced and living separately.

 

That's what I thought.

I can believe - to a point - that the clowns at the Sanford PD didn't make the connection but if the kid's girlfriend was on the phone when this was gong down how could she not make the connection?

 

I read in one of stories that the kid was visiting his dad for the week because he was suspended from his school in Miami for "too many tardies" .

What kind of stupid policy is that for a school? Let's suspend a kid for a week and put him further behind in his studies. That will teach him.

 

As an aside, my son's high school now has a policy that teachers are supposed to close the door and lock it the moment the bell rings as a way to fight what they saw as an epidemic of tardies. My son got two tardies last quarter when his hand was on the doorknob.

 

If legit, chilling.

It's legit. Sadly, but not surprisingly.

 

Wow.

So there still is racism in this country then?

 

Ugly, racist, anonymous comments are surprising to you?

Stuff like this is in every site that allows comments.

 

Yeah, but most places the threads are peppered with comments from some folks with half a lick of sense.
