Those who haven't heard the story should take a moment to at least view the newscast video, if not read the entire article. Little is known about the full details of the incident or why Trayvon Martin was brutally murdered by a man who goes by George Zimmerman. Trayvon was only 17, with his whole life ahead of him. This news shocks and angers me, and apparently brought national outrage, with a petition to arrest George Zimmerman signed by over 500,000 citizens. It's beautiful when a community can get together on a national level in order to do something about a situation and bring about Justice. It is just such a shame that a boy's life was taken in order to do so. In times of tragedy civilians pull together in order to prevent a repeat of history. Still the murder is unsettling and many are still outraged that George Zimmerman is currently still a free man. In Trayvons final moments, he was on the phone with a girlfriend.. one who didn't seem particularly devastated while talking to the reporters. She mentioned that some weird man was following him, and that the man, George Zimmerman, confronted him. The line then went dead, and seconds later Trayvon was shot dead. This horrible incident is one that needs awareness. We can't let a man like George Zimmerman get away.
