ORLANDO, Fla. - An eye-grabbing mural showing a picture of a man shooting a likeness of Trayvon Martin was unveiled Friday at the state Capitol.
The message of the 100-foot mural, created by Miami artist Huong, is "We are all Trayvon Martin."
The mural shows a man who looks similar to George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch leader who shot and killed Martin in February 2012 and was later acquitted in the teen's death, shooting a person wearing a hoodie.
There's a mirror in the mural where Martin's face would be so visitors can see themselves as the teen.
The mural also contains blank spaces where the public can share their thoughts, and it also shows a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. with blood flowing down his head.
Huong also joined the Dream Defenders, a group holding a sit-in protest outside Gov. Rick Scott's office for the past four weeks.
The group plans on taking the artwork on a nationwide tour, although the exact locations are not yet known.

That’s so cool, I want one to hang in my garage.
SCHVEEEEEET!!!
Scott is likely the one who put pressure on Pat Bondi to appoint the special prosecutor.
He also did nothing about the occupation of the capitol building by the scum.
Finally, a monument to self defense.
Orlando is not the state capitol, it’s Tallahassee.
Who knew GZ was such a badass.
Silly. It looks like the shooter is killing MLK. Yawn.
It is, this guy totally screwed up the depth perception. He has Trayvon way in the back with the shooter in front lol. I have to find this guys email or mail, write him a thank you note for this great tribute to self defense and defending others!
Ummm. No one said it was in Orlando. The news source is in Orlando.
Which would make for a good title for this piece:
Death Wish
I’m not Travon Martin and the mural shows someone who appears to be somewhat like george Zimmerman shooting someone wearing a hoodie, who I assume is Travon, in the back of the head from a distance. This is not what happened at all is an attempt to inflame the un-informed.
Imagine if that bottom picture were true and George Bush was POTUS and said Trayvon could have been my son? There would be riots in every city. The black man was defending himself and that cracker Bush is defending the cracker that tried to kill brother Zimmerman!
I thought it unusual to not mention the capitol by name, maybe they couldn’t spell it.

What if that mural showed a likeness of trayvon walking toward GZ with his hand out in a friendly way? No suckerpunch from out da bushes?
No. Don’t dare teach manners or civility. Wouldn’t be prudent.
The comments on there are hysterical.
“Yeah someone take up a donation for Mr Zimmerman to get some ammo with some low flash powder, From that pic he didnt shoot him, he burned him to death lol”
Well, we are no longer a country ruled by law. Now, there’s a show trial to imply we still have a court system before the emperor Obama then publicly implies that the man the court found innocent was actually guilty. Yes, the president of the united states rules on such matters now and this authorizes state capitals to embed racial discord into their art. IN this particular piece, a man witnessed on top of another man, beating him, is shown being shot in the back while both men are standing. NOte the look of sheer malice on the face of the shooter.
This is obscene. We need a mural that shows how Trayvon likely appeared right before the shooting - possibly as a PSA for gun ownership!
