#2 You know I have looked deep into my heart concerning Trayvon and after long consideration I have to admit there is absolutely nothing there.
Bye, Trayvon.

And people singing weepy songs about Trayvon, hey, I have even forgotten the words to Kumbaya...and I never was much good at humming.

Admit it, you don't miss Trayvon either. Be hoinest.

#3 I never said Trayvon didn't have it coming. He was drug addled, ignorant, violent young man who made a series of bad decisions that ended his life. He was going to die young, in a gang related crime of some kind. Zimmerman got to him first.

That does not mean an artist, an elderly man whose music and political views were steeped in a long forgotten albeit fantastical environment of peace and love, cannot express his personal sorrow at the loss of a human life through art or song, nor does it means that a fan of the blues cannot express the sorrow that a young man, Trayvon, was led down a road that ended with his early death.

I think that Lester Chambers understood that, but if he didn't, it seems to me the only way he could deal with that was to dedicate the song to Trayvon Martin. I won't fault him for that.

#4 This site has more info:

Chambers and his family had asked that Andrews-Potter be charged with a hate crime, but authorities said Andrews-Potter's motives were unclear and she might not even have been in a position to hear Chambers' dedication of the song.

Andrews-Potter told police she had a stress disorder and that a repetitive part of the song caused her to snap. It wasn't clear if she had hired an attorney.

"It is a hate crime. There's no other reason for it," Chambers said. "She had hate in her face like a demon. Oh, God, it was ugly."

#5 Alcohol was involved.

A lot of his fans are saying the attacker was a tea party type, ignoring she was apparently drunk at the time.

The demands for a hate crime charge owe more to the fact that Chambers has no health insurance, and is out of pocket his medical bills.

What makes the demand silly is that the attacker is probably indigent, with not much in the way of resources.

So, she was a Long Island Iced Tea Partier?
