Obama on Zimmerman verdict: 'A jury has spoken'
NBC News ^ | July 14, 2013

Posted on 07/14/2013 12:16:40 PM PDT by maggief

President Barack Obama urged Americans to keep calm in the wake of Saturday's jury verdict finding George Zimmerman not guilty of charges associated with the controversial shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin.

"I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher," Obama said Sunday in a statement. "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."

That’s a much better statement than I would have expected.

Kind of worrying when you consider how Obama traditionally behaves.

Say one thing and do another.

“But we are a nation of laws...”

I’m surprised he didn’t bleed from the mouth when he said this.

Good. For once, he said something intelligent...and for once, I am in agreement with what he said.

A note on the bottom of he link said Zimmerman has filed suit against NBC Universal. VERY good.

Exactly. He may say this publicly but he’s probably working behind the scenes with other racists, especially those in the Just Us Department, to charge GZ with civil rights abuses.

Ummm, no. “A jury has spoken” rather than “THE jury has spoken.” Hussein has instructed Holder to bring Zimmerman up on federal charges.

. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin."Typical bamster, siding with the wrong side again.

"A jury has spoken," not the jury has spoken.

Clearly hinting at an impending federal "civil rights" prosecution.

Jarrett probably wrote that because he’s too stupid to know what to say without getting himself in a pickle. Wonder if there were any more robberies at the gated community after Trayvon got shot?

“A jury”. Exactly. Implying more than one to speak.
