I think the Malala Yousefzai story is more serious than the Trayvon Martin stuff. Don’t get me wrong, maybe Trayvon didn’t deserve it… maybe he really was an innocent kid who didn’t deserved to be killed but Malala didn’t deserve to be shot either. Malala didn’t have skittles or an Arizona iced tea. Want to know what she was shot for? She was shot for speaking out about education and women’s rights on an internet blog. She was shot in the head while riding on a school bus… on her way back home from school. Kind of similar to the Trayvon Martin story but Malala is more serious and more important, in my opinion. At least, Malala miraculously survived. I don’t see the media being all over the Malala story. Maybe in political and world news sites but not much everywhere else. Her story has been overshadowed by the Trayvon stuff. I have a whole lot of respect for Malala. She’s younger than Trayvon too. The Malala story deserves to be talked about more than anything else. People need to know what she has done and what she believed in. A lot of American women hail her as a hero and so do a lot of men.
In my opinion, people really need to move on from the Trayvon stuff. Just like bone said about Benghazi, tragedies happen all the time. You don’t see much of that stuff being reported in the news much. Kids shoot other kids. Adults kill other kids. People kill babies. It happens… people in all races too! I don’t mean to bring “race” into this again but trying to make a point so you’ll understand. Maybe the Trayvon/Zimmerman stuff shouldn’t have happened at all but that’s life. It ain’t the end of the world. Concentrate on the things that concern your own business and never mind about everyone else’s.
