Blog Post on Trayvon Martin Shooting

I've been hearing things about this shooting on the news almost every morning this week. I do not know whether or not to believe the man who says it was in self defense, for if it truly was, why did he get out of his car? He could have easily just stayed inside the vehicle and showed the kid he meant business without getting out and popping a cap in the kid. I haven't heard much about what the kid do to antagonize him, so I can not really comment on that matter. The man who shot Martin said the boy came up to his car and started punching him, and if that's true I have no problem with him defending himself. I do not care who this kid is, if someone were to assault me randomly I would do whatever it takes to get them away from me.
