This is the first time I have heard of this here in Florida and it realy makes me sick.
I hope that we can all come together and try to help these people out with signatures on this petition.

Why This Is Important

On February 26, my son Trayvon Martin was shot and killed as he walked to a family member's home from a convenience store where he had just bought some candy. He was only 17 years old.

Trayvon's killer, George Zimmerman, admitted to police that he shot Trayvon in the chest. Zimmerman, the community's self appointed "neighborhood watch leader," called the police to report a suspicious person when he saw Travyon, a young black man, walking from the store. But Zimmerman, who is white, still hasn't been charged for murdering my son.

Trayvon was my hero. At the age 9, Trayvon pulled his father from a burning kitchen, saving his life. He loved sports and horseback riding. At only 17 he had a bright future ahead of him with dreams of attending college and becoming an aviation mechanic. Now that’s all gone.

When Zimmerman reported Trayvon to the police, they told him not to confront him. But he did anyway. All I know about what happened next is that my 17 year-old son, who was completely unarmed, was shot and killed.

It's been nearly two weeks and the Sanford Police have refused to arrest George Zimmerman. In their public statements, they even go so far as to stand up for the killer - saying he's "a college grad" who took a class in criminal justice.

Please join me in calling on Norman Wolfinger, Florida's 18th District State's Attorney, to investigate my son's murder and prosecute George Zimmerman for the shooting and killing of Trayvon Martin.

    The Lord sits high and looks low so if that man thiinks he will get away with this out right murder! The price will be paid either through him or his siblings but someone will suffer for his sins.

    People have lost ALL respect and trust in our government,law enforcement and it is deserved.They are totally negligent and incompetent and the results are more miscarriages of justice like this.I am white and have many many dear black military friends.THIS HAS TO STOP.ARREST THAT MAN! You cowards(the state attorney,the police chief,the officers in that city) are choosing what laws to follow! we WILL hold you accountable for this injustice against this innocent young man!

    The state attorney and the chief of police there should lose their jobs IMMEDIATELY and
    the governor ,maybe even the president needs to get involved before there is an all out riot and more bloodshed.This is ridiculous! a gross miscarriage of justice by these incompetent police we have today! NO MORE POLICE TRUST.DO NOT OBEY THEM ANYMORE!

    I'm so sorry about your son, and I'll be glad to sign the petition. One question though. How are you aware that he admitted to it? I know laws vary from state to state, but this is one that typically doesnt vary much at all, and thats if someone confesses, legally, no matter the circumstances, they have to be arrested.

    It's not my son. It happened here in Florida and the person that shot has admited that he did it. Claiming self defence.
