The fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, 17, was a senseless murder as far as we are concerned here in the community,and this paper should have a story on it in the NATIONAL NEWS SECTION....Albany Herald, wake up.....If this story can make NATIONAL NEWS, and the National Media, it should make your little country paper......
