on the news there recently was the death of a 17 year old teenager. His name is Trayvon and he was murdered on his way home. According to the man who did it, he looked suspicious. But according to others he was just black , wearing a hoodie over his head carrying a bottle of iced tea and a pack of skittles. Personally I think that it was a form of racism. I think that it was a form of racism because he was not making any threat towards any body, he was not even carrying a weapon. He was just on the phone talking to his girlfriend. He was shot down and killed for nothing. This topic is something that has been trending and had people talking on twitter, facebook, youtube and other networks. The thing that has every one upset is the fact that the guy who did it it not arrested, and he is still walking on the streets free, while an innocent boy is dead. People are protesting and creating a movement. Over the weekend people were walking around Philadelphia with signs and wearing hoodies to show that they will not rest until this murderer is behind bars. People are especially worried because there are alot of boys that walk down the streets wearing hoodies and this situation is just saying that they could be next and there is a possibility that this man will have the same excuse and get away free. This should not be left quiet.
