Justice for Trayvon!

Good evening GoodLifers, looking at the picture above you see a normal 17 year old kid with his whole life ahead of him. By the actions of a trigger happy racist vigilante, this young man's life has been cut way too short. In the past month, this story has been a very high-profile case and has gained national attention. On February 26th, during the all-star game, Trayvon Martin was sent to the store to pick up some snacks for his dad. On his way back from the store, Trayvon was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch captain by the name of George Zimmerman. Before the shooting, Zimmerman called the police stating there is "a real suspicious guy" in the area; Trayvon was wearing a hoodie, but I guess that made him "look suspicious." This guy shoots an unarmed kid, and is not behind bars because of it, only because Zimmerman is saying it was in self-defense. This case has hit home pretty hard, because Trayvon could have been any one of us.

This is far from a white and black issue, it is an issue between right and wrong. Yesterday in New York City, there was a "Million Hoodie March" in honor of Trayvon. The March was to bring attention to the case , and to help put George Zimmerman in prison. To help out with bringing this child killer to justice, go sign the petition at Change.org. WE ARE ALL TRAYVON MARTIN!
