Obama has issued a statement about how to honor Trayvon Martin and also shed light on the unsettling news of George Zimmerman being found not guilty by a jury in Florida. Read it below.
“The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.”

FOH!!! Your the President! You should be taken your ass to Florida to Reverse the Outcome…..
If someone killed his daughter he wouldn’t be saying that !!!!
Is easy to just comment on a website where you don’t even have the ball to put your real name and say some bull shit about if was his daughter this and that. If it would of happen in CT, where I live I would be a part of a occupy Wall Street type of situation where I would ask people to occupy the court where the case was held. There reason why I say that is cause people that know me know that I get shit done when it has to be done. Sadly the case is done, I really feel for the kid.
Good! Justice was served and Feds are not going to put their noses into it. About time Obama did something right.
Let me kill one of your kids or family members for walking down the street with a hoodie on. And not get any time or trouble for it and see if you say justice was served.
One thing that stick out to me is … If we’re to prevent these tragedies ,This is what the President said, then why Mr. President is Travon Martins killer a free man….. Why prevent something when in the court of Law it’s right and Just.
