Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release - July 14, 2013
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.
Exactly
You know why.
Your a punk to use this verdict for your gun grabbing effort.
Live, on TV, sans teleprompter:
“As President of the United States, I, Barack Hussein Obama, foolishly interjected myself into a local matter that I had no business sticking my nose in. I also inappropriately instructed Eric Holder and the DOJ to interfere the judicial process in Florida, when I shouldn’t have. And for this, I am deeply sorry and apologize to Mr. George Zimmerman, to the people of Florida, and to all Americans.
From this moment forward, I resolve, with help of God and from all of you, to make every effort to refrain from interjecting myself into in such a manner ever again. So help me God.”
Yup. Nothing about justice for an innocent man. He is deliberately egging on the part of the population that wants to riot, increasing racial division, and slamming the jury all at once. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon. Can’t we trade him to some communist country for a future draft pick?
FU, Barry.
Oh realli.
What about Trayvon Martin suggests the need for "us" to honor him?
Thanks!
“Why wasn’t this call for peace issued last night before it became obvious that there would be no rioting?”
“Leading From Behind” has become his legacy AND his mantra.
100%
can you explain those photos?
Is there some sort of gas forming because the glass is covered?
Excellent point.
So we honor thugs now? Welcome to the new Amerika.
LOL!
A gun control ad. Wow. Glad I missed it. He doesn’t mind gun violence when it comes to Fast and Furious or Benghazi. He doesn’t mind gun violence when it furthers his gun control agenda. He fomented the passions from the very start by having his DOJ bus in protestors. Now he comes out and acts like he wants peace.
That’s not quite fair. Assholes are useful.
It’s at times like this where I have to remind myself that I respect the office of President of the United States.
The OFFICE. Not the individual who usurped it.
He got it back last night per his brother on CNN. (Piers almost wet his pants!)
Such as 'The jury, who had access to all of the facts in the case, has found the defendant not guilty. Under our system of justice the defendant therefore is considered completely innocent of the charges.
The matter is settled. Regardless of how anyone feels about the verdict, unlawful reactions to the verdict will not be tolerated.'
But such a statement is obviously beyond the purple lipped prince's capability.
