Trayvon Martin Case

I am writing to express my concern of the injustice of Trayvon Martin and would like to appeal about the decision of the jury after acquitting the neighborhood watch (George Zimmerman) who murdered an unarmed teenager after claiming it was an act of defense, but i will argue against this and prove that this was a murder case and not an act of self defense.

First, I would like to bring to your attention that George Zimmerman was found not Guilty of the murder of Trayvon Martin under the 'Stand your ground law' This law which is placed gives individuals the right to use deadly force to defend themselves without having to retreat from a dangerous situation However, When Zimmerman called 911 and explained to the police department about the suspicious of Trayvon Martin the police officer informed him not to follow yet Zimmerman continue to follow him after the dispatcher told him there was no need to do so Surely if George Zimmerman after calling a dispatch unit because he felt unsafe why did he feel the need to then follow the young teenager he is now inserting himself into what he declared to be a dangerous situation Knowing full well that he was armed, Zimmerman followed Trayvon in his car AND on foot meaning he left his car making the decision to bring his gun in order to pursue and confront someone Here you can see he was clearly wanting trouble. he was ordered not to follow him. But he did so therefore he has no right to claim self-defense. He was asking for a fight and he got one, with a kid he thought to be dangerous. we can clearly see George Zimmerman was the instigator and placing himself into this position and then use the act of self defense to justify murder of an innocent unarmed teenager. I don't think he set out to ...

...aggressively. Zimmerman wanted to become a police officer you never shoot an unarmed person no matter what and for these reasons and others I feel Zimmerman is guilty Since Martin was no threat to a man twice the size of him this was murder and claiming self defense is just wrong.

My main point is that George Zimmerman instigated the confrontation when it clearly could have been avoided. He was deliberately told that following Trayvon was unnecessary, but yet he got out of his vehicle to engage in conflict with a stranger he thought to be "dangerous" when in reality that clearly wasn't the case at all. and then killed an unarmed, innocent teenage boy. He took a life, and for that he needs to face the consequences. George Zimmerman didn't shoot because he had to he shot him because he wanted to therefore making Trayvon Martin a victim to his narcissistic personality.
