He was a unarmed child of 17 who was profiled, followed, tracked like an animal, confronted and gunned down.
I am heartbroken, along with America and especially Trayvon Martin's parents.
Just after the verdict CNN posted: "Trayvon Martin's dad: "I am broken hearted"

The U.S. should be broken hearted knowning that in 2013 black children are still seen as suspicious when in the "wrong neighborhood". The legacy of segregation and xenophobia still haunts the US and led to the vigilante murder of Trayvon by George Zimmerman.
I'm disgusted and ashamed of the US criminal injustice system and the legacy of white supremacist thinking that that was built into US society since it's inception and continues to today.
What I've been taught by the gov't in the last 24hrs: having an abortion is murder, but shooting an innocent black kid is not.
