The Trayvon Martin story has been the talk of the streets
and school. What actually happened was a disgrace! A 28 year old Hispanic
American man named George Zimmerman shot and killed a 17 year old African
American boy named Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claimed that he felt that he was
in danger, and took it upon himself and shot him. All this was located in Sanford,
Florida on February 26, 2012. Martin was unarmed and had an Arizona Iced Tea
and a pack of Skittles in his hand and Zimmerman claimed he was armed. At the
time Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch man. According to the article, Martin
was visiting his father and his stepmother at her gated townhome where Zimmerman
was also living. That is really crazy Zimmerman should be ashamed in his self. Like
how could you kill an innocent teen? That was someone’s child, someone’s
brother, someone’s family member! I’m really thinking that George killed him because
he was black in a nice neighborhood. On the police call, it was said that the
police officer asked Zimmerman was he following Martin. He told the police
officer that he was and the police officer said “we don’t need you to do that.”
But Zimmerman took it upon his self and still continued to follow him. Like he
should be locked up for not following a police officer’s directions. Also during
the police call you could hear a voice screaming “HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP!”
continuously, then you heard a gunshot and then there was no more screaming,
and Zimmerman said it wash him screaming. How was it him screaming if after the
gunshot, the screaming suddenly stopped? So that’s how you know he was lying! I
feel as though Zimmerman should get life in jail since he took an innocent boy’s
who Trayvon Martins life is! R.I.P Trayvon Martin
