I am sure that most of you by now have heard a few details about this tragic shooting?!?!?

They deserve it!!  Imagine that this was your own family member. Wouldn't you want justice? This young man's life was taken for what, a bag of skittles and juice.

JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN!

Martin was fatally shot February 26 while walking to the house of his father's fiancee in Sanford, Florida, after a trip to a convenience store. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch leader, said he shot the teen in self-defense.

Zimmerman has not been arrested or charged in the killing of the black teenager. A police report describes Zimmerman as a white male; his family says he is Hispanic.

The U.S. Justice Department has also launched a civil rights investigation into the shooting. 

The shooting occurred when Zimmerman -- who was patrolling the neighborhood -- saw the teen walking home after buying candy and a drink at a convenience store.

Zimmerman called 911 and reported what he described as a suspicious person. A few moments later, several neighbors called the emergency number to report a commotion outside.

"So it goes without saying, even if you don't get to the thing that everyone is debating, he already had a mentality when he got out of that car that this was a young black man and he had assumed that he was a criminal, and you know what happens when you assume," Crump said.

While some neighbors were still on the phone with the emergency dispatchers, cries for help followed by a gunshot sounded in the background.

"The time that we heard the whining and then the gunshot, we did not hear any wrestling, no punching, no fighting, nothing to make it sound like there was a fight," said Mary Cutcher, one of the callers.

When Zimmerman said he was following the teenager, the dispatcher told him, "We don't need you to do that."
