The Death of Trayvon Martin
A 17 year old african american teen named Trayvon Martin was assassinated. He live in florida in an mostly high class white neighborhood. He went the store and got a bag of skittles and a arizona ice tea for the NBA game coming on. As he was walking back home he felt someone following him. He was talking on the phone with his lady friend and she told him to run. He said no he not gonna run so Trayvon started speed walking. All of a sudden this guy came up start attacking him. He got up and tried to run but the man hurried and shot him in the back. All the neighbors heard his frightening scared cries as he was being attacked. The man that killed him was racist. His name was George Zimmerman and he is 39 years old. George told the police he knew Trayvon was up to no good. All Trayvon was doing was minding his business til this maniac came up and attacked him. Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch person, just because Trayvon had his hoodie up and was black he felt as though he was doing wrong. Trayvon was a good teen just was trying to go to prom, graduate highschool, go to college just like me. Trayvon was a normal teen just like students here at parkway. I believe its sooo messed up what happened to him cause no one should go through that. This was cruel and evil what Zimmerman has done. I always remember what happened to Emmit Till but I wouldn't have known it would happen today. Every black boy wearing a hoodie is not a criminal.I just sad what happened and I truly disagree cause i am a black teen too and that made me feel some type of way same as others.
