Wilson says she will keep a sign outside her congressional
office: "Trayvon Martin’s Murderer Still At Large. Days
With No Arrest:" each day there is no arrest made in the case

“No drug tests. No alcohol tests. No lie detector tests. It’s just his word that he felt threatened, so therefore he shot to kill. That is unacceptable,” said Brown, who is also a member of the black congressional caucus.

Chris Smith, a black Florida state senator, announced on Wednesday he is drafting new legislation to “drastically” change that law, which he said has increased deaths in the state due to “self-defense” by more than 250 percent. The law originally was promoted by the National Rifle Association, the nation’s leading gun rights group, and opposed by many in law enforcement.

“We can’t keep turning a blind eye to the number of lives this law has claimed,” Smith said in a statement. “’Stand Your Ground’ in its present form continues to endanger Floridians by not only giving someone the right to shoot first, but immunity for their actions, whether justified or not.” - March 22, 2012 - Trayvon Martin Death

"Mr. Speaker, I am tired of burying young black boys," Wilson said on the floor Tuesday. "I am tired of watching them suffer at the hands of those who fear them and despise them."

99% of "young black boys" are killed by OTHER "young black boys".

She’s “tired of burying young black boyz” she says

But only when they’re killed by non-blacks

The rest of the time, she could give a rat’s behind.

whether justified or not.

Black racism trumps the law. I feel very ill.

First of all I don't see how they could compel some to give a drug or alcohol test in a shooting case.

With out probable cause there is no reason to even ask him too let alone demand or force him to give one.

What we have here is a huge out cry from the anti CCW,Gun crowd.

We have the race mongers who can't let chance to make hay from a situation go by.

Rush to judgement. Let the investigation proceed. The police chief just stepped down temporarily because he said he has become a distraction.

"the grand jury is not reflective of Trayvon's family nor Trayvon. That must be corrected immediately"

Yep...need an all Black Jury (OJ Jury) to make sure that a social statement can be made, as opposed to a finding on THE EVIDENCE.

Besides, you need Photo ID, and we can't have that......except to collect Welfare, EBTs, Food Stamps, OBAMA MONEY, etc.

Likewise, Stand Your Ground has eliminated 250 repeat offenders, the bulk of them Black, FOR A REASON ! And, as he erroneously states "whether justified or not" is a Finding of Fact in each case, NOT A WHOLESALE PUT-DOWN-YOUR-GUNS WHITEY mentality that fears that the ONE BEING ASSAULTED, ROBBED, CAR-JACKED, etc. can now defend themselves and their families (and neighbors), and the perp's don't like having their crack-funding habits messed with.

Sure, we can’t have the violent thugs having guns turned on them by law abiding citizens defending themselves. We need to keep violent crime safe, and practically legal. /sarc

Does he realize what he is saying? He is saying that he’d prefer that the innocent victims (or would be victims) who defended themselves be dead rather than the violent thugs who attacked them.

And I’m really tired of cases being tried in the media! So much for innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I hope whomever is handling this case has the internal fortitude to do what existing laws in the state of Florida require and not bow to pressure from lawmakers, drive-by media, racers and anyone else who thinks their two cents matters.

My God, this moron doesn't get that grand juries AREN'T supposed to be "reflective" of a particular demographic or interest group. Making it "reflective" would open it to biased decisions.

To Florida Reps. Frederica Wilson (D) and Corrine Brown (D) when will you be commenting on this travesty that the Lame stream Media does not pursue. Less than 80 miles away! Not the perps age and weight!
Note no mention of Victims race!

“I want a thorough investigation,” Brown said on CNN Wednesday morning. “Personally, I would have liked to have seen him arrested,

So which is it?
You want a thorough investigation or just a arrest?
Since you are making public statements I think I know which one you want...

Me too.
Why don’t you see what you can do to stop them from killing each other as often as they do!
