N2 - Trayvon Martin

Trayvon Martin has rocked the Twitter world and shaken up Facebook's newsfeed.

I can't imagine what the father is going through. I am noticing that he's showing a lot of humility about the whole situation. His son, an African American teenager, has been shot by a white man. I believe, strongly, that racism is heavily involved in this instance. I think if this situation were reversed it would have gotten handled A LOT quicker.  A white boy killed by a black man. It's done, the case must be solved. This situation, however, is a little different. The sound of someone yelling "help" in the background on a phone call is a moot point when you think about a situation. A teenager was shot by another person. He should be arrested and put in jail for that alone. The police said that Trayvon was carrying a bag with candy in it...yes; clearly he's ready for a fight.

I don't know why the world is the way it is, but I think a lot of it involves human flaw. Our legal system is jacked up in the first place so for us to expect greatness is a standard that may not get met. I don't know where to put my feelings on the case because I don't know how it will turn out. I don't think Trayvon did anything wrong. I think he was killed under suspicion, and Zimmerman is at fault for a careless choice. Trayvon's family deserves closure and they should have that as soon as possible because the truth of the matter is, this situation affected a lot of people. The phone calls between the police and Zimmerman are all I need to see, personally. I don’t need anyone to tell me that Zimmerman’s choice was the right one. He was told to stay away from the boy and he didn’t. It is his own fault.

On another note, I believe that everything happens for a reason. Trayvon’s death may be to expose the truth about the law system and the racism that lies within it.
