Zimmerman-Martin: rappel des faits

Il s'est écrit et dit beaucoup de choses cette semaine au sujet de la mort du jeune Trayvon Martin. Il y a bien sûr toutes les discussions entourant la pertinence et/ou le danger de lois comme celle qui permet aux habitants de la Floride de porter des armes et de les utiliser en cas de danger. Mais il y a surtout la mort d'un jeune et le contexte entourant cette mort qu'il faut éclairer. Voici un rappel des faits et de la chronologie.

 "The killing of unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman has reopened old racial wounds and ignited calls for justice from across the nation. But as often happens when a local case captures national attention, the hard facts of the killing seem to have been drowned out amid the rumors, shouts and political rhetoric. The debate has its place, no doubt. But to try to more clearly present what actually happened on the night of Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., TPM has put together a guide to the events that reportedly took place before, during and immediately after the killing."
