Here is some text from the petition linked in the article:

Governor Rick Scott,

The death of Trayvon Martin and subsequent acquittal of his killer have exposed an unfortunate culture of the targeting and criminalization of young people of color in Florida

We demand a 'Trayvon Martin Act'. We demand that you call a special session of the Florida legislature to address the issues at the center of the Trayvon Martin tragedy: stand your ground vigilantism, racial profiling and a war on youth that paints us as criminals and funnels us out of schools and into jails.
.
There are currently 13,453 signatures

Will Rick Scott cave again?

Here we go: The deification, glorification, and sainthood being awarded to Trayvon (who dreams up these stupid first names anyways?) Martin.

I can see it now schools, and streets will be named in his honors. Laws bearing his name. Monuments erected. Trayvon Martin holidays in the schools. And it will live on in our history books, media, and everything else.

Enough to make you want to vomit.

And of course George Zimmerman will reviled as the devil incarnate.

How about this:

The Travyon Martin civil rights act:

“Whomever beat a stranger upside the head, especially for an extended period of time, should be shot.”

Stop committing violent crimes and your "young people of color" won't be criminalized any more.

It's that simple.

I guess crackers won't be allowed to defend themselves against black yutes armed with concrete...and show a willingness to *use* that weapon.

And take the White man’s life without reprisal. Better wake up and smell the coffee or you are not going to have any coffee to smell.

Wow! 13 thousand signatures (many probably from out-of-state or even foreign) in a state with a population of 19 million, someone do the math and tell me what those signatures represent...
