It has been several a weeks since the senseless death of a seventeen year old youth by the name of Trevon Martin. The African American community in Florida is outraged and wants immediate justice. Many people that have heard about the story of his unfortunate demise and say that there was no warrant for that type of force to be used against that young man. The neighborhood that the tragedy took place was a safe one and no gun violence ever occurred there.
The burning question is did race or just plain old stupidity play a role in his death. It’s increasingly becoming common for black males to lose their lives at an early age due to gun violence in America. The Usual prescriptions for gun violence include law enforcement, gang activity, accidental weapon discharge, and domestic disputes. None of these are a factor surrounding Trevon’s death.
He was gunned down by a self-appointed neighborhood watch official. The key word is self. Who asked this guy to patrol the neighborhood? Who told him he could be a block captain? Nobody Told George Zimmeramn to defend that block. Zimmerman was acting under his own free will. He created this entire situation for nothing. Everybody wants to know if Zimmerman would have shot Martin if he were a white teen wearing a hoodie. Since when did wearing a sports hoodie become grounds to shoot someone? I personally feel that race played a role in it but I also believe idiocy played a bigger role. Guns don’t kill people. Stupid mof’s with guns kill people. Did you see Zimmerman’s mug shot? He looks like genius huh? (not)
I believe justice will be served. I’m just afraid that it might not be served quick enough. I’m really afraid that there might be a riot if immediate justice is not served. One thing that my people have proven time and time again is that we will rise up in a fiery anger if we are treated unjustly. I hope people can just keep their cool and keep in mind that the wheels of justice turn very slowly. There are people incarcerated right now and are contemplating pleading out to lesser charges for a crime that they did not commit in the first place just in hopes of seeing the light of day again before they get too old to enjoy it.
This is my blog and that’s my opinion.
