Trayvon Martin tragedy: Was it worth him losing his life?

Report by JENIFERLAMUG

Trayvon Martin, was described by her family as an ordinary teen but reports are surfacing that he was suspended recently in school for a drug residue found in his bag, reports ABC news.

This caused other people wonder whether the slain teenager was a troubled person and raised some question “Was it worth him losing his life?”

A throng of 5,000 people marched from Sanford to St. Petersburg on Saturday, demanding for national “change.”

“We want equal application of the law and justice for all,” said one attendee of the rally.

On the other hand, Robert Zimmerman, the brother of the shooter George Zimmerman said that he was justified on his act.

“He prevented his firearm from being taken from him and used against him and that’s called saving his life,” Zimmerman’s brother said.
