[Content Note: Racism; gun violence; victim-blaming.]
"Right now, we can't stop. If we stop, the world will stop. We've got to keep fighting."—Tracy Martin, father of murdered teenager Trayvon Martin. From an MSNBC article titled "For Trayvon Martin's parents, a journey of grief and advocacy." Advocacy necessitated because of bullshit gun laws and racist victim-blaming by people who seek to put their slain son on trial.
George Zimmerman took their son, and his defenders and sympathizers oblige them to be activists while they mourn.
