You won't recognize me. My name was Antonio West and I was the 13-month old child who was shot at point blank range by two teens who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot. A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick GA determined the teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty...too bad I was given a death sentence for being innocent and defenseless.
My family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder was not ruled a Hate Crime. Nor did President Obama take so much as a single moment to acknowledge my murder.
I am one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's history, but the media doesn't care to cover the story of my tragic demise, President Obama has no children who could possibly look like me - so he doesn't care and the media doesn't care because my story is not interesting enough to bring them ratings so they can sell commercial time slots.
There is not a white equivalent of Al Sharpton because if there was he would be declared racist, so there is no one rushing to Brunswick GA to demand justice for me. There is no White Panther party to put a bounty on the lives of those 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.
So while you are seeking justice for Treyvon, please remember to seek justice for me too. 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 Treyvon..

ReplyDeleteThis is the most horrific crime ive ever heard of. The faces of these thugs should be on every paper and news in the country. But i guess cause they look like are president it wont be
ReplyDeleteThe teens that killed this 13-month baby and shot the mother should be stook in the town square in stocks, then shot in the face just like they did to this baby. If we started making examples of some of these dirtbags, in time it would stop. An eye for an eye type of justice.
ReplyDeleteThis is why all americans should be armed cause the minute some thugs try and rob somebody they will be dead less thieves in our country dont have to pay for there 3 hots and a cot
ReplyDeleteRIP baby Antonio. This story is heartbreaking. Those thugs (regardless of their color) should be facing a firing squad. How could they shoot a little baby. I'm just so furious right now I need to stop before I say something I'll regret.
ReplyDeleteHow's that integration thing working for you?
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me how I can send this to the MSM? I'm not that great with computers. But I would love to learn how to do this. I feel this is something that should be addressed. Let's see if it will. map
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteWe need to remember.
Where were the protest rallies and MSM when this verdict went down?
This racial thing is a one way street, it only works one way.
If you are white and the victim of crime, too bad. Get over it. The president is not going to send Federal investigators to your rescue.
