Song: Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love
On February 26, 2012 the life of (un-armed) 17 year old, Trayvon Martin, was stolen. While walking at night in the community, a neighborhood watchman by the name of George Zimmerman, saw him as a threat. Trayvon's only weapon, a bag of Skittles and a hoodie. Though Zimmerman defended shooting the teenager to death, due to self- defense.
This story has become nationwide news, because Zimmerman is still FREE! How? Because Florida's Stand-your-ground law states that a person may use force in self-defense when there is reasonable belief of a threat, without an obligation to retreat first. In some cases, a person may use deadly force in public areas without a duty to retreat.
Zimmerman is still on trail for Trayvon's death, BUT how can it be self-defense when during the 911 call, the cop clearly instructed Zimmerman to NOT go after the teenager? George initiated EVERYTHING. So how is it self-defense again???

I am searching through a bunch of dances to this song for the past half an hour, and I have to say this one was the most beautiful. It is nothing like the others which consist of soft hands and flexibility. This one is unique, as it is rough, raw, and almost violent the way these girls move.

[@XxDubstepChanxX]

This is definitely what pushes me to become a dancer. Beautiful choreography to a beautiful song. Perfect tribute to Trayvon :')

[@pausemental]

The fact that hes DEAD and cant see the impact that his life had on so many ppl .. and the fact that he cant see this really hurts... As a mother with a son, this tore me apart!!!

[@passionx111]

Perfect song choice, the choreography really gives the emotion of the whole thing, and the message was clear. I especially loved the symbolism that the dancers did, wearing the hoodies. This is magnificent.

[@asfaqwe3242]

The smooth transitions between eqch dancers wete flawless

[@smithredhawk]

[@cuteipieg17]

👏👏👏🙌🙌

[@vballgrl115]

No they are not. They're paying their respects through music & dance. The video doesn't promote anything.

[@specialladyt]

Who made you push the play button?

[@majshkdt]

I'm not saying that the message they're transmitting isn't important or that I'm against or in favour of it, cause I wasn't there to tell who was the real victimizer (or however you want to call it). But Trayvon was just a person, no one can blame the dancers for feeling sorry about his death or for trying to make a tribute for him...

[@NoTimeForTEEDUS]

RIP baby tray he be swimmin in a lake of skiltle and ice tea in heven

[@nickidoncic]

What is the name of this song?

[@SmilingButHideing]

*__For every person , who says they don't know who Trayvon Martin is..__* ; Trayvon Martin is a "Black Teenager" who was walking back from the store , On his way back a Man saw him and called the Cops just because He was wearing a "Hoodie" & he looked like he was Up 2 no Good .. That man followed Trayvon. The last person Trayvon had talk to was with his Gf who he was on the phone with while the man was following Him . The Man Killed Trayvon. *Rascism* R.I.P Trayvon Martin

[@ReeseKate]

It is showing that anyone could have been under a hoody...no matter what their race was. we are all humans and equal.

[@thesheeranarmyrepresentati7109]

Who's Trayvon?

[@OMGitsalyssab]

Who's trayvon

[@mawuvipaul]

you guys really need to disable these comments they are really getting out of hand

[@majshkdt]

well, you don't really know who the dancers are, you can't be sure if they knew trayvon or if they were somehow related to his family... just saying..

[@armordragon4242]

In your mind justice was done. In my mind it was a senseless murder.

[@Wilvin]

If a guy dressed up the way Zimmerman was stalked you, followed you, and then confronted you aggressively and probably physically, what would be your reaction? You would defend yourself physically.

[@vballgrl115]

At that point Zimmerman was still following Martin, not going for a casual stroll through the neighborhood. Zimmerman may have called for help, but I'm sure as hell positive Martin did, too. I'm not glorifying Trayvon's violence. I'm standing up to my beliefs. Being half black, this case really hits me. I have a younger brother the same age as Martin, what if this had happened to him? I suggest that YOU shouldn't glorify Zimmerman's violence. Your username says enough about your personality...

[@murmaider2]

he justa boy, he ain't do nufifn rong, he just be buyin sum skittlz

[@vballgrl115]

BS. Zimmerman was told by police not to follow Trayvon but he did anyway. That's where it all started. If he hadn't followed him, the outcome of the event probably would have been different. People can dance for George all they want, it'd be stupid & ridiculous considering the fact that he's a criminal. George had options, Trayvon didn't. This tribute is truly remarkable. End of discussion.

[@lexluthor7657]

Zimmerman saved someone from an over turned truck whilst still in hiding. What have you done today?

[@armordragon4242]

Nice account name, you troll.

[@zoeygirlie10]

who the heck are u anyways Zimmerman's mother?

[@rudydabaddest]

no he is guilty!!

[@lexluthor7657]

Free Zimmerman!

[@vballgrl115]

Then wouldn't that make him partially black? Ya, do the math, something isn't right. And I've never heard that his grandfather is black, so I'm not sure what source you got that from. He's a racist criminal, & deserves to be going through what he's going through. And that's my opinion. Hate it & disagree with it all you want, I will always believe that what happened that night could have been avoided. And more importantly, I will ALWAYS stand up to my beliefs.

[@TheBananaThug]

I dont think the Martin family needs your dance, they are millionaires riding off of their sons death.

[@nylotus]

Behind bars or hiding at home Zimmerman will never be free. Sorry.

[@KDances]

Shutup.

[@lexluthor7657]

Thats funny. You need better comprehension skills then

[@nylotus]

LMAO you believe that hoax?
