What really happened: Trayvon Martin

In today's society, apparently wearing a hood up is cause for violence. Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old, 150 pound African American, was shot and killed on February 26th in Sanford, Florida. He was walking back to his Father's girlfriend's house during a break in the NBA game he was watching with his younger brother. Martin had just gone out to get an Iced-Tea and a bag of Skittles. While walking down the street of the gated community he was in, a man (George Zimmerman), began to follow him. He also was making calls to the police saying Martin was "just walking around looking about" in the rain, and that "This guy looks like he is up to no good. He is on drugs or something." The police told him that maintaining pursuit of Martin was not necessary, to which Zimmerman replied okay. Moments later, neighbors reported hearing screams of a young, whining voice yelling for help which was immediately silenced by a single report of a 9mm firearm in Zimmerman's possession. A number of witnesses reported seeing Zimmerman pinning down Martin. When the police arrived, Zimmerman was questioned and released with little care or even a toxicity test. Martin's body was taken in as "John Doe" and was given a toxicity test that turned up negative for everything. Besides and injustice, and the public clamoring for arrest, nothing else has happened as of yet.
