I am exhausted, dealing with mental anguish, so sad, angry but not surprised. I feel a sense of resignation now, I am not only sad about this verdict but also sad about a city that feels that in order to maintain order thay need to post over 1,000 police on the streets of New York to make sure the city doesn't get out of order. We all know that whole standard, if it had been a white man who had been murdered (and we all know that wouldn't have happened, but hypothetically speaking) there would not be 1,000 police on the streets. I am resigned, I am anguished, I am saddened but most importantly I have to wonder why do I want to have children in a world that views minorities in this way. I am sad.
