Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin are similar cause they have been killed for a small reason and no possible reason. Emmitt Till was beatin, tortured, and killed just because he was apparently talking inappropiatly to a white girl. Then the strory with Trayvon Martin was that he was shot for no reason , he was shot just baecause of looking suspicious. Both of these people have been killed for no apparent reason. To me both of these murders have been for no reason and were both over exagerating.
