Just imagine raising kids in today's society, having to worry about bullying from their peers, underage drinking and driving, texting while driving, endless hours of homework, expensive after school sporting equipment to purchase....but do you worry about your 17 yr old walking to the corner 7/11 for a can of iced tea and a box of Skittles? Do you worry for his life as he walks home alone in the dark? No, not usually, not if you live in a safe gated community like Trayvon Martin's Dad did...
This is 2012, I thought Jim Crow was DEAD!!! Trayvon Martin was a 17 yr old "GOOD KID", he was minding his own business walking down the sidewalk, when George Zimmerman, self appointed neighborhood watchman called the police to report a suspicious looking dude. Zimmerman was TOLD to leave the kid alone, stop following him, but he wanted nothing more than to hunt down that black boy and shoot him in cold blood, JUST BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK.....
Listen to the 911 tapes, you will hear the screams of the boy as Zimmerman chases him down like a hunted animal....Trayvons girlfriend on the cell phone with him tells him to run, he says no, he'll just walk fast...OMG...as the Mother of 2, I can not bare to imagine the fear in the heart of that young man, being chased by a mad man with a gun....a White man, murdered a Black teenager, just for being Black, on February 26th and he has not been charged....
Just imagine if a Black man murdered a White teenager, just for being White, where would he be? This is 2012, Jim Crow is alive and well...
This happened in Sanford, Florida. This story is just beginning to unfold thanks to the media and people like you and me signing petitions, people like Ben Jealous, and Rev. Al Sharpton, Civil Rights leaders and Congressmen and women. Thanks to Trayvon's parent for not giving up, for calling on the FBI for help because the local police department was of no help to them....A young man is dead, laying in the morgue for THREE DAYS, was tested for DRUGS! Was Zimmerman drug tested? NO, Was Zimmerman arrested for murder? NO...He walked a free man, carrying his gun....
The 911 tapes....they are chilling.. "they always get away" Zimmerman says. Well this one will not, he'd make sure of that...Zimmerman shot an unarmed innocent teenager, he should be arrested and charged in the cold blooded murder of Trayvon Martin! George Zimmerman is a MURDERER!
