POLL: Where Do You Stand on the Shooting of Trayvon Martin?
UNDATED - In national news, public opinion is divided surrounding the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
The parents of the slain 17 year old say the shooting should be called murder. Representatives of neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman stand by the fact that the act was carried out in self-defense.
Recently, this issue of self-defense, conceal-and-carry and right-to-shoot has been a hot topic in the Minnesota State House and Senate.
So, we here at WJON want to hear what you think. Was Zimmerman justified in his actions? Was he not justified? Do we even have enough information from the news media to know?
Take our poll.
