Justice for Trayvon Martin!!!

                     "I Am Trayvon Martin"      

The Trayvon Martin case has caused quite an uproar across the nation. For those who aren't famaliar with the case, it is about a 17-year-old African American from Miami, Florida who was visiting family and friends in Sanford, Florida, when he was walking from the store on a rainy night with a Hoodie on after getting a Tea and skittles, someone began to follow him in their truck, this someone is George Zimmerman, the captain of the Neighborhood Watch in the community Martin was walking through.

 Zimmerman was on the phone with the police, when the police gave him orders not to pursue Martin but he did anyway and continue to follow him which was a violation. Zimmerman and Martin got into an altercation which resulted in George shooting the 17-year-old and killing him. George is claiming self-defense with Florida's 'Shoot First law', which is saying if you feel threaten then you are able to shoot first and ask questions later, so Zimmerman is free after killing an innocent boy, that was unarmed.

Trayvon's parents is doing everything they can to get Justice for their son, people are protesting in various parts of the country, and also holding marches for justice, many people are taking pictures and showing up to marches with Hoodies on to represent for Trayvon. Pictures are also being taken with skittles and a Tea. The parents were even able to get Al Sharpton involved in this case, many believe this to be another case of racial profiling. People are saying if a "white boy" was killed Zimmerman would of been in jail, but since he is black nothing is being done, and I would have to agree. He judged a black boy with a hoodie on, thinking he was trouble, when he was just simply on his way home from the store. I am not understanding why George Zimmerman is not in jail, Trayvon was unarmed and the police gave Zimmerman instructions not to follow him but he did anyway. There are many witnesses, the residents and Martin's girlfriend who he was on the phone with during that time. The police have recordings of the 911 calls from the residents and you can hear Martin screaming HELP in the background if that isn't enough evidence, than I don't know what is.

This is a very sad and unfortunate case and hopefully justice will be served, because I'm pretty sure with "no justice, there will be no peace".
