Have we talked about this here? The whole story just breaks my heart. If you haven't heard, google it. Trayvon Martin was the victim.
Obviously there are a lot of details that I'm not privvy to, and therefore I'm not trying to jump to any conclusions. What I do know is that it is a real shame that an innocent 17 yr old boy got shot on his way back from 7-11. My heart really goes out to his family.
Perhaps the shooter did feel threatened, but if he did, it was probably somewhat motivated by race and racial profiling. I am not black, but I do have black family members. It terrifies me that they could end up dead because someone perceived them as a threat, when in fact they were doing nothing wrong and intended no harm.
