George Zimmerman may not be a racist, but our society as a whole, and our security and justice systems still reflect — and, in some cases, actively engage in — racism and racial-profiling.

For us to believe the overused line that you need a “good guy with a gun” to “stop a bad guy with a gun”, is a recipe for simply arming more people, and unwittingly doing the NRA’s calling of increasing the sale of guns for the manufacturers who prop up that organization’s board.
The road to better gun possession and safety laws does not have to be paved with polar-opposite, partisan arguments. Can we find common ground and come up with reasonable approaches to reduce gun violence?
Starting a few days ago, I’ve had several FB friends share a photo of a 40-something man in a commuter train. The caption says:
If this is your husband, I have endured a 2 hour train ride from Philadelphia listening to this loser and his friends brag about their multiple affairs and how their wives are too stupid to catch on.
I think my biggest take-away from such a tragic natural disaster like the Moore tornado, is that any one of us can go from riches to rags within a very short time. Could be a tornado, could be a lost job, foreclosed house, mental illness, or many other things.
