El 3 de abril: Cada día que pasa sin la detención del asesino de Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, la ira y la indignación de todo el país entre las masas populares aumenta diez veces. Hace ya 37 días desde que Martin, un afroamericano de 17 años de edad fue herido mortalmente el 26 de febrero en Sanford, Florida, cuando regresaba de comprar té helado y una bolsa de caramelos Skittles. Un vigilante de barrio llamado Zimmerman había acechado al adolescente desarmado con una pistola de 9 mm, luego le disparó en el pecho mientras Martin gritaba pidiendo ayuda.
