Enough About Travon Already....

While I can sympathize with Travon’s family for loosing a loved one and certainly can sympathize with a 17 year old for loosing his life, the fact remains that Travon was a drug user, and worse a drug dealer. He was selling drugs at his school in Miami, that’s why he was expelled not once but twice and that’s how he happened to be in Sanford. He also tested positive for drug use post mortem.
The world has one less drug user and abuser…one less drug dealer hooking other on drugs. So why all the “Travon” demonstrations? Instead of trying to make him some kind or martyr he should be held up as an example of what drugs can do to you, and should be portrayed as the thug that he really was. Using a 3 year old picture of him by the press is hardly responsible either…showing him as an innocent looking 14 year old in his football uniform is hardly being accurate.
I’ve been in the area where he grew up many times and it’s easy to understand how a young can be attracted to the drug trade…easy money in a area there are few if any ways for a young black to earn honest money, but he chose to be what he became so I wish the press would just forget about him.
A dead drug dealer is better than a live one any day.


If I Had Known I'd Live This Long I'd Have Taken Better Care Of Myself..!!
