Trayvon Martin

     Above, are all different words that mean the same thing. Justice. Can we please get some for Trayvon Martin? A month ago today, an innocent 17 year old boy was shot in the chest for no good reason. His murderer claims self defense, but what was he threatened by? A bag of skittles?

In the last month, millions of people have been made aware of the situation. And many of these people have began to take action. Their actions, they hope, will finally lead to justice. Celebrities, as well as the President of the United States have taken action. President Barack Obama has demanded for a full investigation of Trayvon's murder. In a press conference he also said, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon". Although the president's statement resulted in a lot of criticism, many people took it to heart.
