Trayvon Martin Hacked after Death by White...

Trayvon Martin was hacked after his death by a white supremacist. If his death were not already horrible enough, how could somebody do this to his family and friends?

The hacker, who calls himself Klanklannon, posted pictures of Trayvon Martin's social networking sites and email on the message board 4chan. The hacking appears to have been part of trying to tear down the teen's image. The bizarre thing is that even if he was not perfect (who is?), he absolutely did not deserve to be gunned down while he was unarmed. The fact that people are trying to destroy his image now to prove that he should have died is disturbing.

Unfortunately, the hacker claims he changed the teen's passwords to racist terms too, which is horrible for his family as well. They do not deserve this type of harassment, and it should not be legal to do this. Authorities could obviously figure out who hacked Trayvon Martin.

Meanwhile, George Zimmerman has still not been arrested or charged in the teen's death, which has caused demonstrations throughout the U.S. Will he ever be charged? What do you think should happen? Should something happen to these hackers? It seems as if justice is impossible at this point, but that does not mean that people should quit looking for justice for Trayvon.

Seems that the white supremacists are just looking for some attention. They probably would have felt the same way if Zimmerman had died, since he is Hispanic. This issue has never been about race, but, about right and wrong, and an example of racial profiling. As we all know, racial profiling is not necessarily an indication that the person is a racist.

I don't think that justice will be done in this case until ALL of the facts are weighed together. People need to stop trying to find fault in Trayvon, who was just walking down the street minding his own business. All of Zimmerman's action led to the death of Trayvon. If he had never started following this young man, he would be alive today. If/when this plays out in a courtroom, I truly believe that a jury will come to the right conclusion, and Trayvon's name will be cleared and he and his family will get the justice they deserve.

Racial profiling is a slap in the face to its victims, identifying one criminal by damaging the self-esteem of fifty suspects is not worth the effort. Using snitches Instead of stopping, questioning, and frisking innocent people has been proven to be the best way of identifying criminals. A free trip to Disney World should be offered to the person that drops a dime on a friend, neighbor, or racial profiler.

'Snitching' is generally used for finding wanted criminals are people engaging in criminal activity. But, my take on the word 'snitch' is children snitch, adults bare witness. When we start standing up for what's right in our communities and not be afraid of how the wrong doers might retaliate, we will see a difference. Here, we have Crimestoppers which will pay up to $1000 for information that leads to an arrest.

But, that doesn't mean we should be spying on each other (witch hunting). Or viewing each new face we see as a potential criminal, as did Zimmerman did in this case.
