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."

True that.
"A jury," not THE jury.
Does the little Kenyan narcissist like to be referred to as "a president," or THE president?
Think you’re right, as the Left already has a vision of making this a campaign issue for next year....provided it’s kept in the headlines.
I’m sorry Mr. President but I don’t “Honor” thugs like Trayvon Martin..Obama doesn’t give a crap about Martin, this was always about “Gun control” taking away people’s rights to have a gun
BARF.
Prepare for an assault on trial by jury...
My favorite FACT to raise when a liberal puke tries to defend the thug Martin is that he was seventeen and according to the autopsy report already had liver damage from purple drank. Trayvon would not have lived to forty if he remained ont he same path he was eagerly follow, a path that the cell phone liar supposed girlfriend encouraged right up to the incident when Martin’s burgeoning life of thuggery was ended.
Hairy Roid has already said “This isn’t over”.
I think in civil cases the attorneys just take a percentage of the winnings.
Any FReeper lawyers here?
Zimmermann only has one hope for a normal life: move to a country that will not extradite him back to the US. It sucks that those are his options but otherwise all I see are him either being killed are going to jail under some other BS trumped up federal charges.
The statement is dripping with agendas.
Civil rights charges / hate crimes
Gun control
Stand your ground
Community diversity
Very true. In ghetto culture, the worst thing you can do is to “diss” or disrespect someone. And the respinse to being dissed is violence. In ghetto culture, you can’t just walk away, you have to respond with violence. That is an unspoken factor in what happened that night.
That is because when all is said and done this will be one of many juries that Zimmermann faces.
Holder will do his dirty work while President Nero fiddles.
Rut ro, what’s he up to? I’m surprised he didn’t throw one of his hissy fits, something is up, this can’t be the end of it, I doubt HUSSEIN is going to let this go.
Sure, that's what this was all about. Specifically, the Marxists hate concealed-carry laws, castle doctrine laws and "stand your ground" laws, and the ways that these overlap to protect defensive shooters. The racal strife angle in this case was just icing on the cake.
They want us as disarmed as Europe.
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.
We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this.
Don't attack armed Hispanic guys?
That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.
HONORING Trayvon Martin?
Sounds like OTrauma does not accept the jury's verdict. We have a raving anti-white anti-Hispanic racist in office.
Please, America, NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN.
George Zimmerman will be declared a Branch Davidian, and his house will be burned to the ground with him and his family inside.
