The tragedy of the Trayvon Martin case has been gaining both national and international recognition and awareness. Millions are up in outrage about the lack of arrest of the murderer George Zimmerman. Petitions are being spread throughout the country for his arrest. There are even bounties from the "New Black Panthers" for his capture, reaching into $10,000. Many citizens are participating in marches across the country, many donning the hoodie as the symbol of Trayvon's death. There have been marches in Washington, Florida, Philly, Arizona... all around the country. But this case spreads out beyond the public. many statements have been made by celebrities, politicians, and big public figures. Obama himself has commented on the incident, saying he can only imagine what the family is going through and how if he had a son, he would look just like Trayvon. It has also reached the national sports-level. Many NBA players are clamoring for justice in the case, taking photos in hoodies and scribing "RIP Trayvon Martin" and "We want justice" scrawled on their sneakers during games. This case must be brought to just to justice.
