A 17 year old, 140lb boy, Trayvon Martin was gunned down and killed on Feb. 26, 2012, just 70 feet from his father’s home in a gated community in Sanford, FL, a suburb of Orlando. His killer was a self-appointed security captain of the community who profiled Martin and followed him as he walked home from the store.

Trayvon who was visiting his father and stepmother was carrying a bag of skittles and a can of Arizona Iced Tea and was unarmed. The security captain, George Zimmerman is 26 and weighs 240lbs has STILL not been arrested. He stated that he felt threatened and shot Trayvon in the chest with his 9mm pistol in self defense. Commentator Herndon Davis explores the multi-tiered levels of justice in America; racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation and tries to makes sense of the Trayvon Martin killing.
