He deserved it.

He stalked an innocent African American man minding his own business and when alarmed he attempted to defend himself. Unfortunately, Trayvon Martin was unsuccessful in defending his life. But, it is a sure bet if Trayvon survived and Zimmerman was dead, Trayvon would be charged with aggravated manslaughter.

Zimmerman took the law into his own hands and now an innocent man is dead. Zimmerman should have listened to the police, but, no he was more of a man than any police officer he knew. He could do something no one else could. Zimmerman could stop a burglary, but, those wicked people that cannot be ordinarily stopped.

Zimmerman put material goods ahead of a human life. That is why this occurred and it is why Trayvon Martin was stalked, became alarmed and is now dead. A black man talking to his girlfriend, suffering the rigors of growing up was killed by a man with bias to his own priorities.

Trayvon and young black men like him are living targets in their lives. That is outrageous.

Being a teenager in the USA should never include being a target.

Trayvon was wearing a hoodie and talking on a cell phone. He was a black man. A young black man and what he had to defend from in his life included being a target as a 'gangsta.'

He played basketball. How sinister is that, huh? 

What does this country have to do to protect them? Should we all, no matter what race, go through the world wearing a sweatshirt with a bull's eye on its back. Sound right? Maybe if everyone got the message we are all targets of the self-righteous gun owner it might do something.
