An unarmed black teenager was shot to death today in Sanford Florida by a neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman
Officials of the NAACP demanded an investigation
Zimmerman has not been charged


What does this say about our society - maybe we should all run out in the streets and kill some people whose color of their skin is different then our own


What do I tell my 5-year-old son he still thinks cops are cool? How do I break the news to him that when he gets some size he'll be perceived as a threat and see fearing in their eyes.

I have to ruin my son's rose-colored glasses his view of the world we live in operates.

I have to teach him the rules. There going to be people who view you as the enemy when you have done nothing wrong.
You are going to be feared, cause suspicion, harassed, accused, and some will be terrified of you.


Don't tread on Trayvon Martin. Don't stomp on his grave. Time - to put George away. Life - he took it away...

ANOTHER REASON THIS IS IMPORTANT

Trayvon was a young man full of promise with dreams of attending college and becoming an aviation mechanic. Now that's all gone.


When Zimmerman reported Trayvon to the police, they told Zimmerman not to confront him. But he did anyway. Trayvon was completely unarmed when he was attacked.


The Sanford Police have refused to arrest George Zimmerman. In their public statements, they even go so far as to stand up for the killer - saying he's "a college grad" who took a class in criminal justice.

If you agree with T.O.E.'s view here please join Trayvon's family in calling on Angela Corey, Florida's 4th District State's Attorney, to investigate their son's murder and prosecute George Zimmerman for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin.
