Dedicated to the memory of Ray Anthony O'neal

Let's start out by saying this post is about Trayvon Martin and all Black men and families that suffered murder at the hands of ignorance and racism.  My grandmother's baby, Uncle Ray was murdered in Seattle, Washington at the hand of  a white apartment manger who during breaking up a party of University of Washington students, shot and killed my uncle Ray.  He was acquitted of all charges for self defense, a easy claim by white men who fear Black men and kill them.  Thus this is dedicated to him and all the families and  victims from Emmit Till to Trayvon Martin.

Feb. 26: Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old Florida high school student, is found shot and killed in Sanford, Fla., a community north of Orlando.
Several eyewitnesses report to police that they heard a scuffle, then a cry for help, and then a gunshot.
According to the Sanford police report, George Zimmerman, 28, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain, is found armed with a handgun, standing over Martin. He has a bloody nose and a wound in the back of his head.
Martin is unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene. He has no weapons on him, only a pack of Skittles and a bottle of iced tea.
Zimmerman tells police he killed Martin in self defense.
Zimmerman was not arrested, nor tested for drugs or alcohol as procedure calls for in a fatal shooting.
March 9: Trayvon Martin’s family demands that police release the 911 tapes or make an arrest nearly one month after Martin was killed. Police declined to comment at the time, but told ABC News the tapes would be released the following week.

March 19: A 16-year-old girl tells Benjamin Crump, the Martin family’s attorney, about the last moments of Trayvon Martin’s life. Martin was on the phone with her when George Zimmerman began following him. She recounted that she told Martin to run, then she heard some pushing, then the line went dead.
The U.S. Justice Department announces it has launched an investigation into Martin’s slaying.
ABC News also learns that Zimmerman violated major principles of the Neighborhood Watch manual, which states, “it should be emphasized to members that they do not possess police powers, and they shall not carry weapons or pursue vehicles.”
The State Attorney’s office in Seminole County, Fla., announces that a grand jury will review the evidence of the case on April 10.

March 22: Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee announces he will “temporarily” stepping down amid accusations that his department bungled the investigation into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott also announces State Attorney Norman Wolfinger, another key investigator tied to the case, has agreed to withdraw.
Martin’s family meets officials from the U.S. Justice Department.
The Lead homicide detective, Chris Serino is the only one who seems to have some sense in Stanford, he recommended manslaughter charges but the state attorneys office said there "wasn't enough evidence" and they and police department believed it was self defense, Florida law supports deadly force if self defense.
Now if you are a 17 year old teenager and some grown ass man with a gun is stalking you, I'd say fight for your life!  Lets compare the victim vs. murderer:

 Lets also compare my favorite quarter back Micheal Vick, whom I have also blogged about his injustice. Vick received 23 months in federal prison for dog fighting.  Georger Zimmerman was not even arrested, detained tested for drugs or alcohol as would in any deadly shooting investigating.
CNN interviews with eyewitnesses stated "police sided with Zimmerman from the start" they reported seeing and hearing Zimmerman pin Trayvon down, then heard a gun shot and the "very young whining and crying stopped immediately". 

Bottom line is Zimmerman should be arrested immediately and investigated to the fullest extend of the law,everyone deserves equal justice because every life is precious.

Please continue to follow this story and speak out on injustice and racism!
***update**

Now we know why George Zimmerman didn't get arrested......According to court records George Zimmerman is the son of retired Supreme Court Magistrate Judge Robert J Zimmerman, his mother Gladys Zimmerman is a court clerk....He has three closed arrests 7/18/05 for resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer div 10........8/9/05 for domestic violence div 44..... And again on 8/10/05 domestic violence div 46  

Stanford has a history of police misconduct and racism, a lieutenant's son was accused of beating a Black homeless man , chargers were not filed until there was public outcry.  Stay Tuned...........

Take Care..
Peace, Love and Strength
