Hoodies, Racism, And The Urban Community: My Defense of Geraldo

On February 26, George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin. Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was carrying a 9mm. After the initial call to the 911 dispatch, Zimmerman was told to stop trailing Martin, whom he thought looked suspicious. He didn't. Shortly after, Martin was dead. Truth is, those are really the only facts we know about the case of a 17 year old unarmed black teenager shot to death by a 28 year old Hispanic neighborhood watch leader. It's a tragedy whether Zimmerman was in the right to shoot or not.
