TravZim- Journal 22

I normally don’t get in political rants like this, but I wanted to express myself on my own blog. Please, take no offense to my random blabbering about something I know very little about! I didn’t closely follow the Travon Martin and George Zimmerman case! I remember when it happened that everybody was in an uproar because a “white guy” shot a “black kid”. I remember thinking, isn’t he Hispanic or Puertorican? I am not sure about his nationality, but he is not white! So, I don’t think it is fair to say the white guy shot the black kid. I get really tired of the race card! Either way, a MAN shot a KID! I don’t feel the race is relevant or the title “thug”, If he called himself a thug, who cares?! What matters is that a man shot a kid! Now, was it, self defense, was it premeditated? I guess the Jury determined it was self defense! I personally think that Travon Martin was targeted. Like I said, I don’t follow this too closely, but if I remember right, when the shooting first happened they said George Zimmerman had called 911 multiple times  since he was on “Neighborhood watch” that night and they told George to leave him alone! Clearly he didn’t, which is what makes me believe he targeted him. He should have walked the other way, not confronted the kid! I think he antagonized Travon and Travon did “MMA style” go to town on him, I don’t think he ever felt threaten for his life, because he had a gun on him and he knew it! Travon, I doubt knew that he had a gun! I think the riots are just making the African American race look like they are “thugs” and I wish they could just stop being angry about their Great Great Grandparents being slaves, there is nothing anybody now can do because of something that happened then! I just want us to all to get along, like everyone is the same, equal, because we are!!!
