Ben Jealous, the president of the NAACP, said on Saturday that "Trayvon's law" should be enacted across the United States in a speech at the "Realize the Dream March and Rally" in Washington.

"Let us say, 'Yes we will pass Trayvon's law from coast to coast,'" Jealous said at the event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. ....

"When they say, 'no you can't,' we say, 'yes we can,'" Jealous said, saying that marchers could also succeed in passing the DREAM Act, enacting marriage equality, abolishing the death penalty and expanding the Voting Rights Act.

Someone needs to tell Ben Jealous and the rest of the morons at that rally that their boy Barry Soetoro, while a member of the Illinois State Legislature, voted YES on Illinois own "Stand Your Ground" law.

Amazingly, one of the few things Barry didnt' vote "Present" on!!!

Is this slob going to pass a law against black teenage thugs who shoot joggers or beat 88 year old white WWII vets to death????? Naw, I thought not. The thugs were the victims, not the dead folks.

The NAACP recently released principles for what it would like to see in so-called Trayvon's Laws at the state and local levels:

Ending racial profiling;
Repealing stand your ground type laws;
Creating law enforcement accountability through effective police oversight;
Improving training and best practices for community watch groups;
and Mandating law enforcement data collection on homicide cases involving people of color.

...literally none of which would have done anything to prevent Trayvon's death. Amazing.

Trayvon’s law sounds good to me.

“Assault somebody, get shot.”

Good law needn’t be difficult.
