Yep, I'm really tired of it all. They found another kid with a bullet in his head the other day, just a couple of blocks from me. Exactly how they reported it too ... 'found with a bullet in the head'. One brief, five-second spot on the Evening News. That makes about 3, maybe four, for the year, just in my area alone. Nobody misses a beat. He's one of the 95.5%.

Of course, you guys couldn't possibly know that. There were no protests (other than the Ferguson ones), nobody selling t-shirts, Al Sharpton isn't scheduled to visit, no catchy phrases or rallying cries, no professional athletes making gestures, not even a blip on the Democratic Black Caucus' or Attorney General Holder's radar. Just another kid 'found with a bullet in the head'.

So it makes me wonder if this kid's life (and others like him) really matters to people like Sharpton, Holder, the St Louis Five, et... or does it only matter when they're killed by white authority figures and can be used to profit or support a larger agenda?

Yep, I really am tired of it all.
