I was going to hold off on writing about George Zimmerman and the conviction he should've received for the death of Trayvon Martin, but I can't.
I can't help but believe that Trayvon has become our modern day Emmett Till. And I'm not the only one who believes this. (Look up Emmett Till and you'll see what I'm talking about.)
From day one people tried to tear down Trayvon's image. Who cares if he wasn't perfect? Does that make it okay to kill someone? Does that suddenly mean that George Zimmerman is a hero rather than a criminal?
If Trayvon had been a white boy and George Zimmerman a black man, would he still be walking away scott free?
