Trayvon Martin

Trayvon Martin

Opinion

Spread the word again: The State of Florida’s murder case against George Zimmerman is and has always been about Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old boy shot and killed walking home from the store – at the hands of Zimmerman, an armed neighborhood watch volunteer who says he shot the teenager in self defense…after following him. Most likely, Martin was defending himself too, from a complete stranger who was following him. No one else was there. One thing is for sure: Trayvon Martin had the right to be there.

In Sanford, FL.

On February 26, 2012.

Walking home from a convenience store, with a bag of Skittles candy and an Arizona brand drink.

Let’s not lose sight of this.
