Update on Chambers Brother assaulted after dedicating a song to Trayvon Martin



Next Day recap... I am sore all over. Beaten but not broken. I can't laugh, sing, hardly talk long or take a deep breath without chest pain.. All my joints ache. My hips feel sore as can be... I haven't been in a fight since I was 15 or 16 back in highschool and 60 years later I am assaulted on stage... I WANT PEACE... PLEASE KEEP THE PEACE... LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS

He has medical bills that violent witch is responsible for. She needs to be sued homeless. Picking on an elderly man. She ought to be ashamed of herself, probably isn't, and has it coming.

When a person is bad they ought to be punished.

She's charged only with misdemeanor assault, for putting a kindly old man in the hospital - in front of witnesses, and on video.
Looks to me like someone should get the 15 day psych evaluation.......

and the woman who assaulted him is charged with a misdemeanor while Zimmerman's injuries were so minor they didn't require any medical treatment and he can shoot someone because of them and it's all legal.

Something wrong with this picture, big time wrong, imo.

My best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mr. Chambers and help for his medical bills as well.

the witch should be on the hook for this.From the link.

"To make matters worse, the elder Chambers' medical insurance doesn't kick back in until August, so he's relying on the Sweet Relief Fund to help him with his medical bills."
