no thanks. i’ll stay with the law-abiding people who don’t burglarize other peoples’ homes, and train mma so that they can deliberately get into fights with other people.

"Warnock called for stricter gun control laws. “We must move from stand your ground to common ground to common sense,” he said."

As if he possesses common sense.

The Trayvon Martin Foundation

Which will dispense marijuana and "purple drank" to deserving ghetto youth.

The black community must learn that trustworthiness is earned. It cannot be commanded, demanded or legislated.

Who is there to teach that community? Jesse? Al?

The American people aren’t required to have high IQ’s, and relatively few seem so blessed.

This wicked media has nothing better to do than to cover the lowest common denominator.

This is dumb.

With all the problems in the inner-city and among youth in their own communities to rally against “stand your ground” and the idea of self-defense is preposterous. To make a hero out of this kid who turned back and assaulted someone according to all the evidence is ridiculous.

Sharpton sure can pick them can’t he?

Smith, who held a sign stating “I am Trayvon Martin”

No, you’re not. And I’m not happy about sharing common ground with liars. Nor should you want to be TM. What is there to admire or emulate about this guy? There are high school aged young Blacks who were gunned down in gang violence...I believe there was one near me, in Richmond, CA about 2 years ago. Honor student, varsity football player. Why not emulate or commemorate someone like that? Why do you honor a teenage thug staying with relatives because his Mom can’t handle him and he’s been expelled from school? I just don’t this (outside of the obvious) If it’s your idea of some kind of righteousness to lie and say you are Trayvon, you’re making your own bed. You’re believing a lie, you are seeing with racist eyes and being led around by race pimps and showing you have no mind of your own. I don’t see where the common ground might be.

First, how did stand your ground get into this? Zimmerman never raised that as a defense , it was MSM speculation.

Second, If you wish “gun control” you stop the jaw boning and passing unconstitutional laws and have a Constitutional Convention to remove the 2nd Amendment - Good Luck with that one.

No one could say what was in Zimmerman's thought process at the time he pulled the trigger. I think a little guy like him vs a muscular large 17 year old who smoked MJ and “may” have had an illegal gun of his own per cell phone (not known to Z I know) does not show the dude was the angelic 12 year old in the MSM.
