People are talking about Trayvon Martin

The rallies for Trayvon's justice are popping up in major cities all across America. Almost everyone now has heard of his story and want Zimmerman to be persecuted for murdering this innocent child. They are marching millions strong to display their efforts and determination to bring about justice to the Trayvon case.





President Obama spoke out about the incident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csa9fnVc1VU&ob=av3e He knows how hard these times have to be on the Martin family and speaks his regards. He goes on to make a comment about how if he had a son he would look just like Trayvon. That angered many Americans. They interpreted it as it was like Obama was saying that if he was white then this accident would have never happened to him. He is now taking a lot of heat from the Republican candidates in the presidential debates.


The Maimi Heat have also joined the cause by publicising their support for Trayvon and his family through "hooded protests". Lebron James and Dywane Wade decided to extend their hands out to the Martin family and they were absolutely grateful. Tracy Martin replied to the heat's actions: "To see all these athletes put Trayvon in the same sentence with them, it feels real good. Trayvon was an excellent athlete and if he could hear them saying his name, he would be so moved by it."
