Trayvon Martin

The senseless murder of Trayvon Martin is a sensitive subject to me, all parents, compassionate people,and especially  the parents of young black men. I have an 18 year old son and I can remember the time when he would wear hoodies and I would hate for him to be murdered for being in a certain neighborhood wearing a hoodie. This is senseless and it needs to be stopped. This could happen to any of us! My heart goes out to his family and I pray justice is done!!

  1. I agree this a sensitive subject for most people, from all cultures. It is crazy that this boy was killed over something so small, just for wearing a simple hoodie. It's so sad. What has people today so angry, so selfish, so discriminatory towards others?? And for no real reason. My heart goes out to the family and I agree justice should be served to the person who killed an innocent boy.

  2. It is definitely a tragedy. Since when is it ok to shoot someone when they haven't even threatened you? Just because he was dressed as they say, "thuggish", should not give someone the right murder another human being. I hope justice is served for Trayvon Martin!!
