Trayvon Martin Case

   A young black male by the name of Trayvon Martin was shot and killed last week in Miami, Florida. Trayvon was a normal kid that was walking home one night and got into a altercation with the neighborhood watch guard by the name of Zimmerman, Zimmerman has only told the cops so far that he was attacked by Trayvon so he used self defense by shooting him which caused Trayvon to die. Trayvon's family believes the only reason Zimmerman shot Trayvon was because he was black. Zimmerman has yet to be arrested to this day and this is why the family is making it a really big deal besides their son getting shot and killed because they think zimmerman was being racist. Zimmerman is also Hispanic and his father is white so race can not be that big of a role in the case. My thoughts on this case is that Zimmerman is a good guy and doesn't have a bad background and we will never know what happened at the time and do not know what Trayvon was doing to make him feel that threaten so he had to shot him. There should not be any man in the world thats 28 and that is neighborhood guard should not feel that threaten to a 17 year old kid if thats the case he should of found a new job if he's going to be scared of a kid thats 11 years younger than him.
