n4. Trayvon Martin

On February 26^th Trayvon Martin was shot in the chest and killed. George Zimmerman allegedly shot and killed Martin after an altercation between the two. Trayvon Martin was just wearing white tennis shoes, a pair of jeans, and a hoodie. However, according to what Zimmerman said in his 911 call he looked suspicious. While Zimmerman was on the phone with the 911 dispatcher he said Trayvon was coming towards him and he also said something must be wrong with the boy. Zimmerman started to follow Martin even after the dispatcher told him not to. Another 911 call was made by a female who heard yelling coming from outside. Later while she was on the phone she said she heard a gunshot. The gunshot she heard was the shot that killed 17 year old Trayvon Martin. They boy who looked so suspicious to George Zimmerman had a bag of skittles and iced tea and was just going back to his father’s fiancées house to watch a game.  Zimmerman is claiming that he was the one you can hear screaming in the background of the 911 call. However, three witnesses say that it was Martin. This whole think disgusts me. As of now Zimmerman is not in any trouble. How do you not go to prison for killing an innocent boy? I think Zimmerman just suspected Martin was suspicious because of his race and had no other reason to feel threatened. It makes me angry that a young innocent boy was killed for not apparent reason. According to both 911 calls Trayvon wasn’t doing anything wrong. Also, the clothing he was wearing was not even the slightest bit suspicious. Most everyday people wear jeans, a hoodie, and sneakers. I think that Zimmerman was racist and just suspected Trayvon was doing something wrong.   Zimmerman deserves to face the consequences for what he has done.
