It
is unfortunate that in recent news a citizen of Sanford Florida killed a young
man by the name of Trevon Martin. Greg Zimmerman, a 27-year-old local citizen
of a Sanford, Florida community killed young 17-year-old Trevino Martin after a
neighborhood watch gone wrong. The community has cried foul play as witnesses
say that Greg Zimmerman was acting more as a vigilante instead of a
neighborhood watch. Local authorities reported that Mr. Zimmerman reported a
strange black male was in the neighborhood and looked to be suspicious.
Authorities then directed Zimmerman to stand down and not pursue the suspect.
Zimmerman disregarded instructions and went after Trevon Martin where he perused
him and attacked him in the neighbor’s backyard. The scuffle then led up to the
shooting of Trevon Martin, which was unarmed are the time. Witnesses say that
Trevon screamed in fear for his life as he begged for help. Trevon was found
dead by local authorities with nothing more than a bag of skittles and a Nestle
iced tea.
The
community is in an uproar as Greg Zimmerman has yet to be interrogated or arrested.
Local police chief has recently resigned his position as the media has
speculated foul play in the case. This case has caught more than just the local
communities attention but has reached the whole nation as they ask for justice
for Trevon Martin. Major hip-hop recording artist Plies released a song in
retrospect of the whole case. This case has sparked many You Tube discussions
as to if thee killing is justified or foul play. In Kennesaw, Georgia Black
Panther leader has demanded justice for Trevon Martin by putting out a
$10,000 bounty for the death of George Zimmerman. Also superstar athletes
Lebron James and Dewayne Wade have also showed support for the cause of seeking
justice for Trevon Martin as they were pictured wearing a hoody with team
members stating it could have been one of ours!
