Trayvon Martin, where to draw the line?
In my previous journal, I talked about Trayvon Martin, a african american boy who was shot and murdered at the hands of Goerge Zimmerman, who was not convicted for the murder. Recently the group known as the "new black panthers" have put out a bounty on Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since the events that took place. Although Zimmerman is, in my opinion, an absolute scum bag, is something this radical the answer? One guy going after the person in an act of revenge for their friend is something, but when a community of people get together to kill someone, thats a different story. Im not totaly sure what i think about something like this myself, to be honest. He deserves exactly whats coming to him, but at what expence to the people involved? If anything should be done, they should reavaluate the trial, and lock this guy up for life, he's a sick man. Ganging up to murder a man isint the way to go, what does that say about our society? Us as people? A line needs to be drawn. He deserves everything comming to him, but to sink to this level is just as bad.
