How bout they accept the ruling and move on...
Or, they can become race pimps for al sharpton or some other con and take thier gripes on the road, as far as i know Trayvon Martins family has been doing that for like three years.
Who knew that would be a way to make a living...raise a thug and then live off his death for the rest of your life.

“Who knew that would be a way to make a living...raise a thug and then live off his death for the rest of your life.”

That only works if the thug is killed by a white person,
