Trayvon Martin Bring People Together
The tragedy that happened to Trayvon Martin is bring people of all races and colors together, not dividing the country as Gingrich suggested. Trayvon is the face of many parents' children. He represents the high schooler and college student parents worry about when they are not home.
Like many other kids, Trayvon had a Facebook account. Like kids his age, he post pictures and updates. None of that is relevent now that he is dead. The person that shot him didn't know about his Facebook account, so what does it matter. None of the things and events Trayvon did days, weeks or years leading up to his death are relevant unless the shooter had prior knowledge.
What does matter is Trayvon is dead, and a man that didn't know him or about his Facebook account was moved to action. In the article, How one man helped spark online protest in Trayvon Martin case, Kevin Cunningham read about the killing of teenager Trayvon Martin. Cunningham, describes himself as the “super Irish” learned about the Martin case when he read a story posted for Men of Howard. Cunningham joined the informal fraternity while attending the historically black Howard University as a law student. He had no idea his petition would reach so many so soon and so powerful. "The fact that more than 2 million people have signed this petition shows there are still a lot of good people in this world."

It's been nearly two weeks and the Sanford Police have refused to arrest George Zimmerman. In their public statements, they even go so far as to stand up for the killer - saying he's "a college grad" who took a class in criminal justice according to change.org
Please join us in calling on Norman Wolfinger, Florida's 18th District State's Attorney, to investigate and prosecute George Zimmerman for the shooting and killing of Trayvon Martin.
