Treyvon Martin's Case

Fear Kills, Love heals..
That's the motto Young Americans live by nowadays..

Alot of y'all are aware of the tragic case of Treyvon Martin.
An afro-american guy, seventheen years of age, went to the 7/11 to buy some skittles and  had the intention to head back home to watch the game with his father.
A volunteer watcher felt that this young boy acted suspicious so therefore called the police to report him.
Which is fine, cause you have the right to do so.
After reporting him and getting police advice not to pursue the following, George Zimmerman kept on following him.
Minutes later, Treyvon Martin, was dead.




A few things about this case are bothering me.

First of all The police enforcement
After arresting George Zimmerman two police officers went over to Treyvon's house, asking the father if the person who was killed, was his son.
The father was in shock, offcourse. The shock quickly turned into anger and dazzlement. The officers talked about his son as if it was his fault getting killed.
The police department did, at one point, not even want to reveal the taped phone call between Zimmerman and the callcenter. Why not?
They released Zimmerman because it was self defence and in Miami that is enforced by law.

Second of all George Zimmerman
He became a volunteer at the watchpetrol because of all the roberies that took place in his neighbourhood.

First a background check.
This man has a police record for offending a police officer and a restraining order his ex girlfriend put on him because he was beating her!

Let's continue..
That night he saw a guy with a hoodie on acting suspicious. He called the police and informed them about this. They were asking him all sort of questions, which he answered with rage. Saying things like " THEY always get away and " fucking cooners".. The police officer asked Zimmerman if  he was following him, he answered yess! They did not want him to do so, so he said he wouldn't.
Why the hell did he pursue the following!
During his detainment he said it was selfdefence. Treyvon was beating him with one fist, the other hand was on his mouth so he couldn't scream.
Note: police officers "confirmed" that Zimmerman had a broken nose, blood on the back of his head and grassmarks on his clothes.
Strange thing about this is that on a video where he was taking in to custody he was clean as a whistle! No scrathes, blood, nothing!

What bothers me the most:
Treyvon Martin was literaly fighting for his life!
He was even running from him!
Neighbours heard a young boy screaming for help! Eventhough nobody actually saw what happend? We all were withnesses.




Now what do they do in the media?
Posting pictures of Treyvon with his middle fingers up, with a golden grill or posting tweets of him where he's using bad words.. Does that ever compare with the fact that he was killed? Does all this come close to the fact that he is no longer breathing? No it doesn't.

So on my part George Zimmerman is already guilty!
May the Grand Jury and Judge sentence this man with his life!
