Trayvon Martin Surveillance Video in 7-11 Before the Shooting!
The shooting of Trayvon Martin took place on February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida. Trayvon Martin was an African American teenager who was shot and killed by 28-year-old George Zimmerman, a man of mixed ethnicity (Latino and white American). Martin, who was unarmed, had been walking to the home of his father's girlfriend from a convenience store when Zimmerman followed him after calling the Sanford Police Department, saying he witnessed what he described as "suspicious" behavior. Soon afterward, he fatally shot Martin.
Zimmerman described the shooting to the police who arrived on the scene as self-defense. The responding officers did not arrest Zimmerman, saying on March 12 that they did not find evidence to contradict his assertion of self-defense. Both Martin and Zimmerman made phone calls during the incident, some of which were recorded.
The circumstances around Martin's death received national and international attention, particularly regarding Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law and allegations of racial motivations and police misconduct, triggering multiple investigations and public demands for Zimmerman's arrest. Many people, from civil rights leaders to public officials -- including Reverend Al Sharpton, President Barack Obama civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi -- have made public comments or released statements about the shooting.

President Obama: Enthusiastic corruption of the common checkbook!
Today from REUTERS: Europe could sink Obama...
"We think the Obama administration has limited credibility in Europe because they so badly mismanaged our economy here," said Kristen Silverberg, a former ambassador to the EU who advises the Romney campaign on European policy.

Wilders: Islamization of Europe Can Happen in America!
May 09, 2012 - WASHINGTON -- Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been labeled "Islam's public enemy number one." Consequently, he lives every day under a death sentence from Islamic jihadist groups like al Qaeda.
Wilders never walks the streets without a security detail and he and his wife must live in safe houses across the Netherlands. It's the price he pays for speaking out against the Islamization of Europe.
"I don't want to live - and my children to live - in a country based on Sharia law," Wilders told CBN News. "It's the worst thing that could happen. Democracy would end the day after Sharia was implemented."
"If you walk through the streets of Amsterdam or Rotterdam or any other city in the Netherlands, you see that it has changed completely," he said. "People often don't feel at home anymore, don't feel safe anymore."
"There should not be Islamic schools," he opined. "There should not be more mosques in our free society because they represent an ideology of hate to be compared with fascism and communism."
Wilders' message resonates with many Dutch who are fed up with massive Muslim immigration. His Freedom Party is now the third largest in Holland. His popularity only increased after he was found not guilty on hate speech charges in a Dutch court last year. Wilders explained that what keeps him going in the face of such adversity is the need save his country from the cancer of "cultural relativism."
