Kinda makes you wonder why a man who was so pummeled and so seriously injured would not need to be treated for it, and was able to be cleaned up within minutes in the backseat of a police care.
And no bandages. And walking around with a very normal gait, spit shine clean, and ambulating with normalcy like he'd just walked out of a movie theater...
He was a watchman, in which I would think requires a little bit of toughness on his part, so if he isn't apearing like he is simply beaten to pieces by Martin (i.e. having to be carried into the police station by the police) hobbling and bobbling, holding his injuries like he was still hurting so badly, then he must be guilty eh? Martin may have been a tough individual himself at the age of 17, where I know young men who have beaten up their own dads at that age, whom their dads would have never figured that their son could actually beat them at that age, but could easily do it and did. So we have possibly two tough individuals coming together out in the rain, cold, and dark, who have undoubtedly mis-understood who each other was, thus leading to their confrontation, that ultimately ended sadly in a traggedy.. What should be looked at now, is how do we as a nation and people, understand what went wrong, and how it went wrong, so we can begin to fix it all before something like this happens again ?
Should our children continue wearing clothes that are the same clothes that hood-lums, gangbangers, drug dealers & criminals wear, or will it all just be looked at now, as an isolated incident, that needs no changes in the way that our kids are growing up, in which could easily cause them a serious case of mistaken identity again, be it by a watchmen who yes was looking over a neighborhood, that has had a series of breakin's or robberies (hightening the alertness) and the profiling of those that are in the watchmens mind to look or apear suspicious to him, and this to be based upon his experience levels and/or exposures in life I'm guessing, that ultimately led to a young mans death by accident all because of ??
What role must we as a nation play in all of this now, instead of trying so hard to try this case ourselves, otherwise why don't we begin to look at what can be done to change what happened on that night, by looking at the possible causes and mis-understandings found in it all, in order to give a message out to the youth of this nation, and to the people who feel that they need unprofessional security to be appointed as watchmen, where something like this can take place in result of ?
