17 Year Old Shot And Killed For Walking Down The Street



On February 26,2012 Trayvon Martin of Sanford FL, was shot and killed as he walked to a family member's home from a convenience store where he had just bought some candy. Trayvon was only 17 years-old.

George Zimmerman the community's self appointed neighborhood watch leader admitted to the police that he shot Trayvon in the chest, he had called police to report a suspicious person. The police told Zimmerman not to confront him, but he did it anyway. Then Zimmerman shot and killed unarmed 17 year old Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman has not been arrested for the crime and the police has even gone as far to make a public statement supporting Zimmerman saying, he's "a college grad" who took a class in criminal justice.

 Three witnesses contacted by The Miami Herald say they saw or heard the moments before and after the Miami Gardens teenager’s killing. All three said they heard the last cry for help from a boy, and believe the sequence of sounds shatters the notion that Trayvon was killed in self defense. Mary Cutcher a witness says "Blew us off, and I called him back again and I said, "I know this was not self-defense. There was no punching, no hitting going on at the time, no wrestling,'" Cutcher said. Trayvon's family says, he was their hero pulling his father from a burning kitchen, he loved sports and horseback riding.

Tracy Martin, the father says, "It's a shame that he's [Trayvon] not getting any justice. We're not, as a family, getting any closure," the elder Martin said. "I feel betrayed by the Sanford Police Department and there's no way that I can still trust them in investigating this crime."

The case has now been turned over to the State's Attorney Office, who will make the decision on whether or not to charge George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Trayvon Martin's family is asking that as many people as possible sign the petition to prosecute George Zimmerman in the death of their son.

Legal Issues With Pinterest




Some Pinterest users may be faced with legal issues pinning photos and recipes to their Pinterest page. When you pin photos or recipes, you are agreeing that you own these photos or recipes and have the right to post them online or you have the permission of the owner.

Attorneys are now saying Pinterest users could be asking for trouble unless they own the photos, links, recipes and so on they are pinning or re-pinning. 

"At the moment, there is very little that can be done to avoid infringing copyright if you are a Pinterest user," she says. "The only way to pin pictures without violating the site's terms of service and the picture owner's copyright is to only pin pictures that you've taken yourself." 

Bruce Johnson, an attorney with Davis Wright Tremaine, agrees: "The website may have DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) protections for user-generated content. The users don't and could be exposing themselves to a significant legal risk." 

Another problem users are facing are you release your rights to the photos you pin.

"According to the Pinterest terms of service, you release all rights you have in a picture once you pin it," she says.
Specifically, here's what the terms say:
"By making available any Member Content through the Site, Application or Services, you hereby grant to Cold Brew Labs a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, view, and otherwise exploit such Member Content only on, through or by means of the Site, Application or Services."
When you pin or re-pin an item you are breaking the law. Pinning without permission is violating copyright infringements.
