Trayvon Martin and the snacks he Never got to eat.

How would you spend your last hour or so of life? Would you so something insane, like bungee-jumping or cliff-diving? How about something relaxing, like sitting on the beach or laying in the grass? How about spending it with your closest loved ones? Here's another idea: Think about walking home from a convenient store with a bag of Skittles and a can of Iced Tea. That is how 17 year old Trayvon Martin spent that last hour.. And he didn't have a choice.

Imagine him with a 'hoodie' on. Would he look suspicious to you? 

Trayvon Martin was in Florida visiting his dad and his fiance in late February in the gated community they live in. He thought he would take a walk down to local convenient store for an Iced Tea and some Skittles. On the walk back home, it started to rain. As he was on the phone with his girlfriend back home, Trayvon put his hood up to avoid getting wet. As he did, he noticed he was being followed. Not to his knowledge, it was the gated community's "Neighborhood Watch" supervisor, George Zimmerman. 

George Zimmerman believed Trayvon looked suspicious. I mean, come on. A 17 year old boy with a bag of candy in his pocket? Trayvon is said to have weighed 140 pounds. What in the world can be suspicious about that? It just mind boggles me. Anyways, after noticing he was being followed by Zimmerman, Trayvon began to walk faster, as well as inform  his girlfriend, who was still on the phone, as to what was happening. She told him to run. He said no. 

Zimmerman called the police, claiming there was "There's a real suspicious guy. This guy looks like he's up t no good, on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around looking about...These @$$holes always get away." (taken from the Orlando Sentinel). Who knew that walking outside in the rain was suspicious? I didn't...

George Zimmerman.

Going against the police's orders, Zimmerman continued to follow Trayvon and eventually got out of his car. There is believed to be an argument between the two before there were alleged gunshots. Actually, just one gun shot. Coming from a gun held in George Zimmerman's hands, straight to the 17 year old boy's chest.

How can Zimmerman state self defense when he was the one to approach Trayvon? Zimmerman continues to use the "Stand your Ground" law, which states one can use violence if you feel threatened. You can meet force with force, if you truly believe its necessary. So Zimmerman claims this 17 year old boy, who was unarmed,  is a threat? He was minding his own business on his way home from a convenient store!


This story is just heart-breaking.
