What i know about the Treyvon Martin case is that he was an african american who was shot by a hispanic man while walking from a supermarket. Martin was shot and there was no one to help. The gun man Zimmerman has received no jail time and wil not be indicted for his actions on the innocent little boy. This story has happened over a month ago but it has stirred up a lot despite on where Zimmerman was right for shooting the kid or was he wrong for his actions. This is going to be something that is in the news for a long time and will cause conflict between races across America and the world.
Honestly, i am not well educated enough on the situation to give a definite side on the matter. Based of rumors and what i have heard from others, i feel like the gun man was wrong for his actions and he know he was. I dont understand how you can shoot a little kid for wearing a hood and call it self defense when the kid was not even bothering you. Stuff like this makes me mad also because being an african american in america is one tough ordeal and people fail to recognize how hard it is. Living in the suburbs as a black is difficult enough. I have had experience where i walked into stores with a group of white friends and i am the the only who gets their packets checked for theft. In addition to the gun mand option to shoot the kid, it makes me morn for the family because the kid had so much life ahead of him and he had it stripped from hi. To shoot someone is hard enough but to have the gall to shoot a child, you must be out of your mind, like what is wrong with you? PEople need to look at this situation and pretend like martin was their kid. If it was my kid i would do anything to fight for him and have the government act promptly on Zimmermans actions. People are failing to realize the magnitude of this event.
