Where is Obama?

Where are all the demonstraters? Why isn't there news coverage and demonstations about this, instead of a 17-year old drug user and dealer?

Hello.  Don’t recognize me? That’s OK; I understand.

My  name was Antonio West. I was the 13-month old child who was shot in the face at  point blank range by two black teens, who were attempting to rob my mother, who  was also shot.

I  think my murder and my mommy’s wounding made the news for maybe a day, and then  disappeared.

A  Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick , Georgia ruled the black teens who  murdered me will not face the death penalty... too bad it was me who got the  death sentence from my killers instead, because Mommy didn’t have the money they  demanded.

See,  my family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but  my murder wasn’t ruled a ‘hate crime’.

Oh,  and President Obama didn’t take a single moment to acknowledge my murder. He  couldn’t have any children who could possibly look like me - so why should he  care?

I’m one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's  history, but the media didn’t care to cover the story of my being killed in cold  blood.

There isn’t a white equivalent of Al Sharpton, because if there  was he would be branded a ‘racist’. So no one’s rushing to Brunswick , Georgia to demonstrate and demand  ‘justice’ for me. There’s no ‘White Panther’ party, either, to put a bounty on  the lives of the two black teens who murdered me.


I  have no voice, I have no representation, and unlike those who shot me in the  face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life. 

Isn’t  this a great country?

So while you’re out seeking ‘justice for Trayvon’,  please remember to seek ‘justice’ for me. Tell your friends about me, tell you  families, get tee-shirts with my face on them, and make the world pay attention,  just like you did for Trayvon.

I won’t hold my  breath.
