Martin, who was black, was wearing a hooded sweat shirt, carrying only a bag of Skittles, iced tea and his cell phone when 28-year-old Zimmerman, who is not black, shot and killed him.
The tragedy sparked questions of race issues, calling Martin’s death a hate crime, and causing the NAACP to address allegations of police misconduct within in the Orlando suburb where Martin was killed.
In the meantime, civil-rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton is at the helm of a “Million Hoodies” rally planned for [today] Thursday in the community where Martin was killed.
I could Barely Blink when I ponder, that, if a life depended on the Rev. Sharpton covering his Madam C. J. Walker processed hair at a “Hoodies” rally, I am certain that life would be loss.
