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 were doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if were 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, thats a job for all of us. Thats 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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

We should ask ourselves if were 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.

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

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.
To: smoothsailing
Thats 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.
