I don't know all the details to the Trayvon Martin shooting but I do know some. He was a 17 year old boy who was shot in Florda by some guy named George Zimmerman. The guy was a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain and apparently told the police that he shot martin in self defense. That is why they didn't arrest him. I also know that this has been hgue in the news for quite some time now and there are a lot of sketchy and unresolved issues and details involving the murder. This happened over a month ago so it is getting pretty crazy.
My opinion on this whole sitaution is that it is very sad and it is unfortuante that such an innocent kid had his life taken away from him by some random guy for no reason. It sucks to have to hear about a story like this. I think it's pretty crazy how much opublicity the story is getting and how long the case has taken. I feel bad for his family especially his parents. I can't imagine getting a phone call one night or having someone come up to my house and telling me that my son has been murdered. I don't know what I would do. I think this whole thing ties in with the essential question "How are we, as individuals, products of our environments?" This relates to the guy who killed Trayvon Martin because he had a gun and did a stupid thing with it. Maybe he grew up around violence like that or was not raised the right way in his family or community. This would definitely be a logical assumption because normally people are good at heart and wouldn't just kill someone without a troubled past or a serious motive. It's just an overall sad story and something you hope doesn't ever happen again.
