An Open Letter To African-American Youth

(And others doing the same thing) --Look, you absolutely have a right to express yourself and it is completely understandable that your feelings run very high over the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case, but please, please, please: it's well over 90 degrees F out there. At least get a lightweight hoodie to wear with the hood up, willya?

It's difficult to express much of anything when you are laying heatstroked on the sidewalk.

"And don't run with that - you'll put your eye out!"

Youda made a good mom.

In the supermarket yesterday, saw a young African-American male helping an elderly A-A woman (maybe grandmother), who was riding one of the store-provided motorized wheelchair/shopping cart combos. At one point, he is hanging onto the back of the seat, his knees resting on the rear cowling, with his over-sized pants halfway to his knees. I briefly (no pun intended) considered taking a picture of this.

Those kids should have thought to get some lightweight hoodies while flash mobbing stores.

I know, I know. The protestors aren't necessarily flash mobbers. I'm just sounding off.
