A life cut short!

Trayvon Martin's murder has been in the headlines all over the world.  This young man had done nothing wrong, yet the man accused of killing him thought otherwise.  The only reason was that he was a young teenage black male.  He was shot down in cold blood by the neighborhood watch captain.  You can not tell me that this man did not know that Trayvon lived is this neighborhood.  That he had not seen this young man around.  For God sake, this kid had a bag of candy and a cup of tea or soda.  What was he going to do spit the candy at George Zimmerman? I just do not understand how someone could do this to another human being!  This has caused a new fear in the hearts of black teenagers and their families. 
There was a Justice For Trayvon Rally that drew members of all different organizations.   Al Sharpton, Among others joining them at the rally were": activist and comedian Dick Gregory; Martin Luther King III, eldest son of the late civil rights leader; radio talk-show hosts Michael Baisden, Joe Madison and Mark Thompson; NAACP national President Benjamin Jealous; former New York governor David Patterson; television's Judge Greg Mathis; relatives of the late civil rights icon Rosa Parks, and Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin. "
As you read the articles that surround this case, it is beyond heartbreaking.  Why should any parent have to live in fear that their child will end up in harms way just because of the color of their skin?  I guess I was just raised differently.  I was raised to see the person, not their color!  I think that this young man's parents deserve justice for what has happened to their son.  This man murdered their son in cold blood.  Plain and simple.  Trayvon Martin's life was cut short for what reason?  Because of a man that did not see that he was a human being, someones son, brother, grandson and friend.  I pray that Trayvon's family gets the justice that the deserve for their sons murder.
