Trayvon Martin is The latest Tragedy of Social Media

Trayvon Martin is The latest Tragedy of Social Media: Trayvon Martin is the last reason is related to the speed of social media in the direct pursuit of something. Social Media creates awareness, generates a huge amount of advertising, and makes people take action.

He does it with incredible speed hyper few years ago. Social media is becoming more and more drives, and narration. True stories, and perhaps, though, to get lost in all this.

Trayvon Martin was a black 17-year-old to visit his father in Sanford, Florida. He was gunned down on February 26. His death is now a national cause celebre.

Not much is known about the shooting. Trayvon Martin was shot and killed George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman, who Spaniard, described as armed conflict "neighborhood watch captain" in his unit.

Mr. Zimmerman called 911 to report suspicious persons. Against the advice of the police dispatcher, he pursued Trayvon Martin in the neighborhood.

Zimmerman caught him. The fight may or may not occur. He was fired on purpose, accidentally or in self-defense. Trayvon Martin died. Shot in the chest, George Zimmerman.

None of the eyewitnesses of the incident emerged. Mr. Zimmerman said he shot the teenager in self-defense. Others argue, Zimmerman was a Loose Cannon roam the streets with weapons. Accusations of racism raises its ugly head.

The police did their investigation of the prosecutor who will decide whether there is enough probable cause and evidence to charge Mr. Zimmerman with a crime.

It is not sufficient for social media mobs.

They are demanding justice from moving at the speed of the Internet and television shows, the crime, preferably without commercials hours of consumption.

Application for Change.org collected more than 300,000 signatures calling for the continuation of Mr. Zimmerman. Twitter tweet with twitches. More than two thousand people "like" Justice for Martin Page Trayvon Facebook.

There are some real concerns that merit our attention.

* No eyewitness(s) has come forward to dispute or defend Mr. Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense. 911 tapes, while dramatic, are as useless as all the people who watch C.S.I. or Nancy Grace. Those “experts” who form jury pools.

* For the time being, it appears Florida law, which is all that counts, is on Mr. Zimmerman’s side.

* George Zimmerman was described as a police wannabe, a buff as they are known in police circles. Too many of these people wind up injured or dead, in altercations they should have stayed out of, or, as in the case of Trayvon Martin, they kill someone.

* It is way too easy to cry racism from behind computer screens and microphones. Unproven accusations of racism only fuel mass anger and rage. This gets officials to move faster.

* Speed causes critical legal mistakes and missteps that could have severe consequences down the line. A guilty man can go free. An innocent man can go to prison.

* There is a social media mob mentality forming to charge George Zimmerman with a crime. Arrest him. Indict him. Convict him. Do it now. The digital lynch mob cannot understand why Mr. Zimmerman is still walking the streets while Trayvon Martin lies in a grave. The electronic rioters do not understand, or care, that investigations can take weeks, months, years, or even decades before some semblance of justice is done.

What's the hurry? What good do to stop George Zimmerman and have it be released after the court, or may not be undertaken when the judge starts the case for lack of reason?

Prosecutors need more than a tragedy to bring a case to court. They need evidence, witnesses, as well as the likely cause.

Now we come to George Zimmerman and his ilk. People who want to play cops. Retainers, with a more developed thoughts, causing them to be criminals at every corner, behind every tree and under the bed.

They will join the ridiculous and useless "in a crime watch group", roaming their neighborhoods in search of criminal acts and hot action. Just like people running around with those pretty little red berets. Although the Guardian Angels, in contrast to Mr. Zimmerman, who are armed and have the training requirements.

But the sheriff BUFF, they see demons, rapists, robbers and marauders in each group of people who do not like. If the police can not do its job, then dagnabit, they will.

When they take action, as they inevitably do, they cause headaches, but nothing for the law enforcement officers, prosecutors and judges.

Finally, we have a growing phenomenon of social networking that gives people their own sense of vigilance ideated, methods, tools, and feel that they can live out their fantasies in an exaggerated summary of the individual systems to install, and those other grinding for so long.

This new mobs lynch, the rebels technology, applicants and protesters. They cry out for justice in a world where they feel they do not. They demand action that they deem ineffective.

Trayvon Martin died. George Zimmerman was killed. That's all we know. In Florida the law Zimmerman may be guilty, innocent or something in between.

However, all this will eventually come out. No one will be satisfied.

The guards, social media and their equivalents Lynch Mob, consider the same code. "There is no justice. Just Us".

It's always just about them.
