Trayvon Martin

On February 26, in Sanford, Florida a young African American man was shot and killed by 28 year old neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. Zimmerman, the self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, called the police and reported Trayvon for suspicious behavior, this just another of the 46 other calls he has made to report suspicious behavior in the last 13 months.Zimmerman called the cops about this so called suspicious behavior and continued to follow Trayvon even after the dispatch officer told him not too. All Trayvon was "armed" with was a bag of skittles and a drink from a local convenience store and he was casually walking back to his fathers fiances house. What is suspicious about that and why did Zimmerman follow and shoot him?

 Another big question being asked is why didn't the police arrest Zimmerman on the spot and question him and why is Zimmerman still on the loose? Well one answer to this question is the Stand Your Ground law in Florida. This law gives a man the right to use deadly force, even before an unarmed man, provided they have reason to believe they have to defend themselves. This law seems reasonable but where is the line drawn for reason to defend oneself. How can Zimmerman justify feeling threatened when he is a 28 year old and 250  pound man with a gun going up against a 17 year old 140 pound boy who only has a drink and a pack of skittles. There is no justification there, there was no reason to follow or shoot this boy and Zimmerman should be arrested. Another reason for this lackadaisical police effort is the officer that was in charge of the crime scene. In a previous case this same officer failed to arrest a lieutenants son who was videotaped beating up a black homeless man. So you have to wonder all around from Zimmerman to the police was this a race issue? Was he followed and murdered and the man who did it will get away with is all because Trayvon is black?
Hopefully Trayvon Martins murder will not go without a conviction of the clearly guilty man who did it.
