Just today, I read that Robert Zimmerman released a letter to The Orlando Sentinel concerning the portrayal of his son in the media.
The letter did not apologize for his son’s heinous crime.
The letter did not show any empathy for what Trayvon’s family is going through.
The letter did not even…
“some of the people they sent to us would not touch a woman. they did not like a woman’s long hair, they did not like her laughter or her breasts, they did not like her smell. we knew those men would lead us straight off the face of the earth.”
