Trayvon Martin: The Facts

Trayvon Martin

February 26, 2012 Trayvon Martin was found face down in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to the back of his head in Sanford Florida.

Minutes before Martin was shot the Sanford police received a phone call from “a concerned citizen” George Zimmerman.  Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighbor watch man spotted and flowed Martin, all while still on the phone with the police.  Zimmerman told the police Martin “looked like he is on drugs or something” and that he looks “up to no good.”  Fact: Martin was walking home from the store with an ice tea and bag of skittles, to go watch the NBA finals with his dad, and was wearing jeans, a hoodie, and sneakers.  Real suspicious, I went to the mall this weekend, and sported that very look; jeans, sneakers, and a sweater.  However, I was no shot down, like innocent Trayvon was.  The Sanford police found Zimmerman standing over the body with the gun in his hand! They questioned Zimmerman, he claimed “self-defense” and was let go free.  Zimmerman did not have a scratch anywhere on him, yet he claims self defense.  How can it be self-defense if you are the one stalking, and the one with the weapon? It seems more like Zimmerman blatantly shot down an innocent UNSUSPECTING teen. The Sanford police did not run a drug or alcohol test, and did not do a background check on Zimmerman.  However, they did run a drug test and alcohol test on the murdered seventeen year old.

As of March 23^rd, George Zimmerman was still a free man.  The FBI are investigating the case and the Sanford police, who claim there is not enough evidence to arrest Zimmerman. Even though, they have the weapon, an eyewitness, and the tapes in which Zimmerman tells the police he was FOLLOWING Martin.

Sanford has some serious explaining to do… not only to the Martin family, but also to the rest of the country.
