I know the general gist of the Trayvon Martin case. I do not really know too many specifics and I have not really looked into the case much. Most of the info I have gotten from it has been from hearing the TV on MSNBC from the other room. I know that the kid was walking home from the store and some guy shot and killed him. The shooter claims it was in self defense and that Trayvon had assaulted him. It is a huge story and is receiving a lot of attention but that's about where the end of my knowledge about it is.
I do not really like to comment on things that I do not really know about. Because my breadth of knowledge on this subject is comparatively limited I would rather not delve too deep into my opinion about it for fear of appearing ignorant, uninformed, etc... From the view that I have taken, I believe the Martin family's side of the story, and disagree with the shooter's side. Going out on a limb without actual factual basis, I would say that the shooter dude shot him, and then was like 'oh crap, I either A) become a demon-worshiping warlock and perform some voodoo witchcraft black magic necromancy and bring this guy back to life or B) claim I did this in self defense and make up a story about it'. On the other hand, if he really did just shoot Treyvon, without any self defense involved, what was the reason for it? Did he just not like the way he looked or what? It was probably based on his past experiences and he was probably really tied to his past, so those previous experiences forced him to act dramatically to the situation, unforunately in a terrible manner.
