Whither Trayvon?
It seems that the nation at large has forgotten Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old who was slain in February by the crazed, self -appointed 'neighborhood watch' leader George Zimmerman. The incident created widespread outrage when it happened. Now there's silence.
I know it's natural for such issues to cool down after a while, don't get me wrong. People have a tendency and a desire to want to 'move on' which is natural-lest we dwell on it forever and never recover. But it seems unfortunate to me that such issues generally pass out of the public eye once their sensationalism is passed. Once it ceases to be the hottest new headline people move past it and seek other sensational headlines to titillate them. I personally am continuing to follow the case, to the degree there is any more press being reported to follow.
I feel somewhat gratified in hearing that Zimmerman is back in jail. Personally I hope he stands trial. The case is not over even if the media considers it a dead issue. His family and friends still desire justice.
Just a thought.
