One day after the 'Not Guilty' verdict for neighborhood watch commander, George Zimmerman, hundreds of Atlanta residents gathered at West End Park to stand in solidarity with the Trayvon Martin family who's 16 year-old son is now dead.
Trayvon Martin was killed with only a bag of Skittles and an Iced Tea on him, and was shot by a neighborhood watch commander who claimed he was in danger of his life.
George Zimmerman was found not guilty by a jury of 6 women in Sanford, Florida.
Many Trayvon Martin supporters who feel the boy was unfairly profiled and murdered by Zimmerman, hope that the U.S. Department of Justice will bring a separate civil rights case in the near future.
