There has been a lot of talk about the 17 year old who has been gun done by a white man. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/george-zimmerman-father-claims-trayvon-martin-attacked-son-article-1.1052611 The teen who was gunned done his name is Trayvon Martin. Trayvon was visiting his dad, and had went to the store to get ice tea and some Skittles, When he was on his way home he told his girlfriend who he was on the phone with that he was being followed after which he was shot. I think that that's a shame. Some say that Martin was shot because he was black. If this statement is true then the man who is responsible for this needs to die in jail. Killing someone who has done nothing wrong to you at  all is just terrible. Trayvon had reason to die he was still a child basically now he won't even be able to experience life to fullest. His parents have lost a child to violence and they deserve justice. Zimmerman is accused of this crime. George Zimmerman's father defends his son saying that his son wasn't in the wrong and that in fact his son was the won who was the victim and that Trayvon attacked him first. George stated that his son called to report what he thought was a suspect that was in a recent home break ins. And that his son wasn't following him but he was trying to get an address of where Trayvon was. When Trayvon turned around and asked did he have a problem , Zimmerman said no and that was when Trayvon started assaulting him. In order to protect himself Zimmerman pulled out his gun and shot him. I really don't know what happened because i wasn't there therefore i cant really take sides but i know that whatever happened somebody was wrong nobody should not have been killed.
