First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Trayvon Martin. Not only was I saddened by the murder of Trayvon, but the events and lack of justice following his murder are beyond me. While the family of Mr.Martin continues to grieve, the killer, a man by the name of George Zimmerman still walks the streets as a free man. Not only has he not even been held in jail under suspicion of a wrongful killing, but somehow he has avoided being charged with a single crime. Why you ask? Well here it is: Mr Zimmerman is protected by a law that was signed by former florida governor Jeb Bush that allows a person to use deadly force to protect themselves if they feel threatened. This law is known as the "Stand your ground" law. Now if your like me, I'm pretty sure your wondering why this law was passed, let alone even thought of. Basically this law was put in place to give would be victims of crimes the right to defend themselves with deadly force if you feel as though your life is in jeapordy. George Zimmerman is currently being defended by this law. The fact that this law is currently being up held in this case is unbelievable. the night of Trayvons murder, mr. Zimmerman was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher. He explained what "supposedly" was happening, and was specifically told my the dispatcher to stay put and to NOT take any action. She also stated that law enforcement was on the way. For whatever reason, Mr. Zimmerman decided to take it Upon himself and handle the situation. Wrong move George! In my opinion, Zimmerman gave up his chance to even be considered to be defended by this law s soon as he took matters in his own hands. He defied the orders of the 911 dispatcher, so if you ask me, he basically gave up his rights at that very moment he decided he was going to kill Trayvon. His only defense so far is he was attacked. Clearly that is bullshit because there is also a 911 recording with a woman who tells the operator there is someone yelling for help outside her home. You can also hear Trayvon desperately pleading for his life until his screams were silenced by a bullet from George Zimmerman. If a bag of skittles, ice tea and a hoody makes you look suspicious, then I'm pretty sure I should have been killed a while ago. Sadly, racism still exists in america. Geraldo riviera recently made comments suggesting that Trayvons hoody might have been 1 of the reasons he was viewed the way he was by Mr. Zimmerman and ultimately was killed. For him to make a comment like that speaks to the fact that people are racially stereotyped everyday! The reality of it is, is that racism still exists in the world. No matter what we wear, who we hang with, we will always be judged by many by the color of our skin rather than the content of our character. In closing, I would like to say I hope people all over the world will one day see each other as equals no matter race, social economic status, hobbies, etc. Its 2012 peole, so lets act like it!!!
