Taryvon Martin

Justice needs to be served !" is what you hear in the streets and on tv. A boy named Trayvon Martin was killed for no reason at all. Trayvon is the most talked about right now in the news. People have had walks to get justice for Trayvon Martin downtown. The police are not arresting Trayvon's killer and the parents are outraged and so are people. Heres his story, Trayvon was walking home from the store he had bought a bag of skittles and a arizona. Well While he was on his way home a man followed him and killed him. Trayvon's shooting took place on February 26, 2012. A 28 year old man names George Zimmeman killed Trayvon and he is latin american and white. Trayvon had been walking to his dads girlfriends house from 7eleven when he was being followed by George  Zimmerman. Zimmerman called the police before he shot Martin sying he witnessed some suspicious behavior. Soon after that he shot Martin. George Zimmerman said he had reacted in self defense. The police did not arrest George Zimmerman because they said on March 12 that they did not find evidence to contradict his assertion of self-defense.The circumstances of Martin's death reached national and international news. Many people, from civil rights leaders to public officials including Reverend Al Sharpton, President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi have made public comments or released statements about the shooting. People said he ws just on his way home and the man shot Trayvon just because they were racist. I beleive that racism still occurs today and others don't. But that's only because people don't bring racism to a front police try to sweep it under the rug. I  believe that if this was a white boy and a black man who had killed them that the man would have been arrested. Now that can't happen because George Zimmerman is in hiding. And if they do try to arrest him they would have to find him first. Many people believe that he should be arrested beacuse killing is a true crime, and it wasn't for self defense, he did it because he says he was looking suspicious. This is my opinion about the killing of Trayvon Martin.
