I have two things I really don't understand.
1 - Why is this not a huge story? The only time it's been on TV that I know of was a 3 minute piece on The Today Show. Why isn't this getting more press? The media are wasting hours and hours and hours trying to push this idiotic George Zimmerman non-story on the world, while stuff like this is just not talked about at all. This is like that time Obama blamed Benghazi on a youtube video, the guy made the video gets sent to jail. Then it turns out it had nothing at all to do with the video yet NOBODY ever brings up the question of hey, remember dude in jail? Anybody?
2 - It doesn't seem like the parents are really doing much to get their son out. Outside of crying to anybody who will listen. They only need 50,000 to get him out. It'd seem like a kickstarter or whatever would have that raised pretty quickly, yet they start an online petition instead? Apparently they're selling t-shirts to raise money. Unless those shirts cost $1,000 a piece they're going to have to sell a lot of t-shirts to raise $50,000. Can't they get a loan? I'm sure the inevitable lawsuit will let them pay it back several times over.
