Trayvon Martin was a seventeen year old boy that was friendly, played football, had good grades and caused no harm. Trayvon was killed on the night of February 26th 2012 in Florida by a neighborhood watch men named George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was on duty that night also. George called the cops and said that Trayvon looked suspicious because he was wearing a hoody and he was African American. The cops told Zimmerman several times not to follow Trayvon but he did not listen and pursued Martin anyway. He shot him once and Trayvon hit the ground immediately while he was on the phone with his girlfriend. Zimmerman said "he looks suspicious" but all Trayvon was armed with was an Arizona Iced Tea and a red bag of skittles!
I think what happened to Trayvon Martin was uncalled for. This isn't a big issue because he was innocent, most people dislike the whole situation because a Caucasian killed an unarmed African American and was not arrested. If a black man shot and killed an innocent white man, I think he would be charged with first degree murder and get a lot of years in jail. People all over the country are very upset about this situation. Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman were trending on Twitter. People have also been taking pictures with a hoody, a bag of skittles and a Arizona Iced Tea and said "I am Trayvon Martin!" It was a documentary about this shooting on BET and over 100 people marched for Trayvon Martin. I personally think George Zimmerman should be arrested for killing an unarmed civilian.
