THE TRUTH

Through the media Trayvon was said to be a thug because he was young,black,and was in the wrong community.

Zimmerman didn't listen to the dispatcher because he thought he was trying to rob a house in the area.He had no right to follow him.

He claimed self defense but if Trayvon's body was facing the other way face down. How could you shoot somebody if they going the other way.

Through the media everyone's stories got mixed up. George was being the monster in the media. Which he was killing a unarmed teen because he thought he looked "suspicious"
