INJUSTICE

I am so troubled by the death of Trayvon Martin.  He was a 17 year old student returning to his relatives home from the corner store.  George Zimmerman, a self appointed neighborhood watch captain, pursued Trayvon assuming he was a threat to his neighborhood.  When George called 911 they told him NOT to pursue Trayvon but instead Zimmerman continued to follow him.  They got into a confrontation and Zimmerman shot Trayvon and killed him.  There was a 911 call from a neighbor who witnessed the commotion and suddenly shots were fired.  Trayvon was yelling "help me", and George fired again.  No one was able to help him because they viewed Zimmerman as being the threat now since he had a gun.  A life is now lost because someone who wants to be a cop so badly that he has lost touch with reality.  To add insult to injury, George Zimmerman is a free man and has not been formally charged.  He is crying self defense.  This is about to get real ugly if justice is not served.  People have come together for this young man because an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere!
