 FLORIDA --It's Trayvon Martin all over again except this time the victim is in jail for fighting back! On June 12, a white mob led by Chris Milton came to the home of
18-year-old Eric Oliver and his family and demanded that they send out
16-year-old Mikey Vasquez so they could beat him up. After Eric's
wheelchair-bound mother asked them to leave, they attacked young Mikey.
Eric jumped up to protect Mikey, his mother and the other children at
the home.
In the fight, the white men who came to take the 16-year-old got beat
up. After this, one of the white women in the mob yelled "Nigger, you're
going to jail!" and called the police.
Now Eric is in jail charged with aggravated battery and being held under
$100,000 ransom for defending himself and his family while the white
man who led the mob there and attacked the teens is free!
We have to stand against this injustice! Eric has the right to STAND HIS GROUND to protect his family and home! UPDATE: Oliver's bond has been reduced from $100,000 dollars to (ten) $10,000 dollars. His mother bonded him out on Tuesday. |
