Trayvon Martin Murder

The death of Trayvon Martin in Florida on February 26, was a tragic and since controversial topic.  Trayvon was shot by self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman.  Zimmerman says that he felt threatened by the 17 year-old so in self-defense he shot him.  Zimmerman had earlier called the police and reported Martin as a suspicious character.  The police gave him specific  orders not to follow him.  Zimmerman weighed 250 pounds, and says that he felt threatened by the 140 pound teenager.  How can somebody feel threatened by somebody who is half there size and is armed with only Skittles and a can of iced tea.  Also, why did he follow the "suspicious character" when he was given direct orders by the police not to.  He should be arrested for interfering with the law if not for murdering a teenager.  


Zimmerman made about 40 calls to the police within the past year.  In each police call he seemed to have a negative attitude towards African Americans.  It sounds like Zimmerman is the boy who cried wolf.  Trayvon had not past criminal record and no motivation to attack or harm Zimmerman, and there is no evidence to tell why he would attack Zimmerman.  On the other hand, Zimmerman had a past criminal record, has a negative attitude towards African Americans and was in direct violation of police orders.  


What gives Zimmerman the right to follow and approach Trayvon Martin when he was given direct orders by the police not to follow him.  I would like to know in what way did Trayvon threaten Zimmerman when he is half Zimmerman's size and Zimmerman was the one carrying the weapon.  Trayvon didn't even know Zimmerman, yet according to Zimmerman Trayvon threatened him.  Its funny how with this odd series of events that Zimmerman was not even given a drug test at the scene of the crime.  Neighbors of the community say that Zimmerman had a negative attitude towards African Americans.  In my opinion, there is no doubt that Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin.
