According to Sybrina Fulton, George Zimmerman was aquitted due to SYA (complete BS).

According to Jesse, self defense now = racism. That's not surprising either.

According to Holder, if you defend yourself against a black thug bashing your head on a sidewalk, that might be a hate crime.

...and according to Obie a black man has the right to cap any white person following too closely behind him.

And now this change.org petition:

Petition by

Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton with Change for Trayvon

Last year, our son Trayvon Martin was stalked, chased down and killed by George Zimmerman, and Zimmerman faced no punishment whatsoever. That's in large part because Florida is one of at least 21 states with some form of 'Stand Your Ground' law, which enables people like George Zimmerman to claim self-defense.

We're calling on 21 governors whose states have some form of 'Stand Your Ground' laws to review those laws and amend them so that people who instigate conflicts -- people like George Zimmerman -- won't be able to use these laws to get away with murder.

'Stand Your Ground' was never meant to give aggressors the opportunity to get away with murder, but that is what happened when our son, Trayvon Benjamin Martin was killed. After Trayvon's death, law enforcement used the law as an excuse to refuse to arrest George Zimmerman. Even worse, the jury in the case was instructed to think of what Zimmerman did as self-defense, even though Zimmerman ignored instructions from the police and instigated conflict with our son, who was just trying to get home to his father.

We are shocked and heartbroken by the jury’s decision to allow our son’s killer to go free. Despite our despair, we must honor Trayvon’s legacy by doing all that we can to protect other young people from being targeted, pursued, and senselessly murdered.

We are not the only ones calling for 'Stand Your Ground' laws to be reviewed. President Obama spoke out on the need for review, and prominent Republicans like Senator John McCain have joined him. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue, it’s not ‘black’ or ‘white’ issue, it’s a wrong and right issue. This is a matter of making sure that no other family will ever have to go through what we have been through. No parents should ever have to know what it feels like to watch your child's killer walk free.

Here in Florida, we are pushing for an amendment to Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law. Sign our petition to call on all at least 21 governors to review their laws and consider similar amendments so that they can protect children in their states, just as we wish Florida would have protected Trayvon.

We want to say thank you to all of you who have stood up for our son. Because of all of your efforts, Trayvon’s life is celebrated all over the world. Please continue to stand with us as we fight to ensure that his legacy is to leave behind a safer and more peaceful world for all our sons and daughters.

McCain! you &^%$#....

Stop attacking my rights, you hateful b*tch.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

The FL stand your ground laws had NOTHING to do with this case. Zimmerman’s defense lawyers never invoked the law as part of their defense. Zimmerman shot Martin in self defense. The agenda being pursued here has nothing to do with the facts of this case.

[MrB]

They’re agitating for a more general reaction out of “whitey” to give them an excuse to use the militarized federal law enforcement against them.

[SMARTY]

The MSM will NEVER find the ‘off’ button for these sh&%s!

[V_TWIN]

A perfect example of a low info voter. I think in this case though their “tragedy” is being used in an attempt to further gun control. These people can’t even see past their race long enough to see how they are being used.

Trayvon Martin's mother: Repeal stand-ground law

Also, repeal the law that makes .08 the Blood Alcohol Content necessary for a DUI, since that law was just as responsible for Zimmerman's acquittal as Stand Your Ground was.

[skimbell]

While she's at it, why not repeal the Florida seat belt law

It's as relevant to her son's death as is the SYG law.

[Sacajaweau]

Now you know exactly why "stand your ground" wasn't used....IT WASN'T APPLICABLE!!!

Now the kid was living with who??

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

This absentee-mother wants to change the ‘SYG’ law and add ‘retreat’ to the mix? How could Mr. George Zimmerman have ‘retreated’ while his head was being bashed into concrete?

[cuban leaf]

Trayvon Martin’s mother: Repeal stand-ground law
Cuban leaf: Are you still here? Your 15 minutes are up. Feel free to talk with your friends about stuff you actually know about and let the adults handle this.

[SkyDancer]

He (Holder) also said for “White people to run away”

[cuban leaf]

“We have to change the law so that this doesn’t happen to someone else’s child,” Fulton told reporters

---

Actually, what needs to be changed is the behavior of boys like Trayvon.

[Servant of the Cross]

Jesse Jackson, SYG = racism

[Maelstorm]

I really hate that some people can just get a “get out of stupid free” card on crap like this. Is Trayvon’s mother a moron? Really does she not realize that stand your ground had absolutely nothing to do with Trayvon getting shot or in Zimmerman getting acquitted? Minorities aren’t served well by letting stupid people become the face of their race.

[kcvl]

Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon’s mother - before the media handler (Ryan Julison) took control of the scripting, and made sure Tracy and Sybrina appeared together.

upon hearing of Trayvon’s death Sybrina never left North Dade (Fort Lauderdale) to travel to Sanford. She stayed home. The first time she actually went to Sanford was to attend a press conference on March 8th.

2 months later when Sybrina travelled to London, England

Trayvon’s Dad, Tracy Martin, was living with his sister Ebony Martin Mcclain, also in Miami Gardens. However, Tracy was reported to be considering a permanent move to live with girlfriend Brandy Green and her son, Chad, in Sanford. *Brandy Green is, or was, pregnant with Tracy’s child.

[ You also need to remember Tracy was still married to Alicia Martin - the "step-mom" from the Dr. Phil show. Tracy and Alicia Martin had been together for 14 years and married for 7 Alicia is by all considerations "The Forgotten Woman"]

Trayvon was NOT living with his mom. Trayvon was NOT living with his dad. Trayvon was living with his uncle, Stephen Martin, and his wife “Aunt Miriam, in Miami Gardens.

[BitWielder1]

She's trying to be the next Cindy Sheehan, who also got a lot of mileage from her son dying while doing what he chose to do.
The difference is that U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan died honorably, serving his country, while Trayvon was a street thug.
We will never know how many lives Zimmerman saved that day.

[Uncle Chip]

She is wrong first of all because Zimmerman was acquitted under traditional self defense not SYG.

Second where was he supposed to retreat to with her thugson sitting on him wailing MMA blows on him???

[Repeat Offender]

How about we repeal a few more Trayvons instead?
