All blahs are the same

According to The Grio, Brian Beckmann, a captain in the Miami-Dade fire department, posted a rant on his Facebook page suggesting that Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman was unjustly accused and that Martin’s killing can be blamed upon poor parenting by “urban” parents who are “welfare dependent”:

How many of these people are out there I don’t know. But as long as there are vigilantes shooting unarmed teenagers, we should probably be concerned about them.

Oh, and Trayvon’s parents are both middle class working people. Of course mom is a public employee so she might as well be on welfare, right? But then so is this racist fire captain.
