Like I said, show a picture of Shorty when he was 12 years old and post that everywhere. That will get attention -- it sure did with Martin's case. Why did America celebrate a thug wanna be again? From the president on down, Martin was elevated to a near god-like status and he was at best a thug wanna be whereas Shorty actually did something for his country. Larry Bible hit the nail on the head ... this is sad all the way around.
