The White House

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release - July 14, 2013

Statement by the President

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.

The pro M crowds are all about gun control, despite denials by Corey.

The pro M prosecution team is all bucking for federal jobs or jobs with anti-gun thinktanks imho. Also they all have lifetime tenured positions as lecturers in the BGI circuit.— building antipathy and racism via making a travesty of the legal system, by using the power of the state to harass an innocent man.

Obama is in essence exclusively supporting the BGI with his statement and continuing to divide our country.

Honor, gun violence?

Young wannabe gangbanger a victim of his actions. Exterminated before he could inseminate numerous illiterate Ho’s and burden society with the results.
Honor this Obama, you clown

[vette6387]

In truth, he should have just kept his Effing mouth shut! This has noting to do with him any more than any other murder trial in the country.

[The Duke]

So, why didn’t he name every other teenager who’s died violently since the Zimmerman incident? Don’t those folks count?

[Red_Devil 232]

Well, since little barry bastard boy sent his smarter half out to try and destroy George Zimmerman regardless of the evidence, it is not surprising that the racist-in-chief never even mentions George Zimmerman and the wreck the obamao regime has made of his life. Disgusting puke in the white hut is being his usual self in a storm...

Yep! The way GZ was railroaded by the Just Us Dept. is the only real tragedy in this whole fiasco!

[SECURE AMERICA]

We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this

As long as young men, mostly black ones, believe the lie that the Thug Life is “cool”, they will end up like Trayvon........

[MamaTexan]

I see no reason to honor a feral, racist punk....

or Trayvon Martin, either.

[Jeff Winston]

We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this.

Don't launch a vicious and brutal attack on people on the sidewalk just because they happen to be crackas.

That would be a good start.

[VRWC For Truth]

Hiding behind a press release. Coward.

[Bronzy]

/// I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son///

What about the injustice inflicted upon George Zimmerman and his family? All about Travon. FUBO

[101stAirborneVet]

If Trayvon Martin had a Dad, he would look like:

[Lazamataz]

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.

How about the tide of 'bashing skulls on pavement' violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis?

Or is your agenda the most important thing?

F***ing punk.

[chiller]

I didn’t used to be racist.

[liberalh8ter]

I'm not in the business of ‘honoring’’ racist, punk, wannabe gangbangers. Remember Barry?, I'm a creepy-ass cracker.

[Tzimisce]

OBAMA'S A NO GOOD SON OF A BITCH!!!

[Lazamataz]

We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this.

Don't attack armed Hispanic guys?

[vetvetdoug]

FUBO. The race baiting punk is defecating all over the White House with his prejudice and dishonest actions that are destroying this great country from within.

[MCH]

That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.

Next week I presume he's going to tell us how to honor the Boston marathon bombers, then the 911 terrorists, and after that perhaps Fidel Castro or some other nefarious character. Cause if you're a Dem, apparently that's who you honor.
