Unarmed Trayvon Martin was murdered by a sociopath named George Zimmerman on February 26, 2012 while on the way home from a store in his father's own gated community. Zimmerman stalked and murdered Trayvon Martin after being advised by police not to interfere with the 17-year-old teenager. George Zimmerman has been arrested several times since he was "acquitted" of killing Trayvon Martin in a sham state show trial.

Attorney General Eric Holder said that while the standard for a federal hate crime prosecution could not be met, the shooting still requires the country to confront the "issues and tensions" brought to the surface by the killing.
"We, as a nation, must take concrete steps to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future," he said.
Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges. He was charged with second-degree murder, and jurors also had the option of convicting him of the lesser charge of manslaughter. He said that he was acting in self-defense when he killed Martin, 17, during an altercation in a gated community in Sanford, Florida, on Feb. 26, 2012.
