Obama Responds to Zimmerman Verdict: 'Stem the Tide of Gun Violence'--For Trayvon
Breitbart News ^ | 7-14-2013 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 07/14/2013 1:07:19 PM PDT by servo1969

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 we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re 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, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin."

President Obama uses Trayvon Martin's dead body to further his gun control objectives. Where is his concern for dead bodies in Chicago and Detroit this weekend? Where was his concern for dead bodies in Afghanistan or Benghazi? Why does he never talk of honoring them? Simple; those dead bodies are of no use to him and are therefore inconsequential.

A community organizer's job is to foment unrest among the population. Barack Obama is still a community organizer. Only now, he is the Chief Executive Community Organizer.

Obama the Fomenter

No mention of Chicago. This “White African American” president is buffoon.

Trayvon is the best argument imaginable against gun control.

Yes, great idea.

Take our guns away so we can't defend ourselves against criminals like Trayvon Martin.

Yes, call the Police to defend you.

The same Police who tried to put Zimmerman in jail.

Because Zimmerman tried to defend himself.

If anything, Zimmerman should be praised for protecting a community that in a lot of ways, is the same as Obama so lovingly “organized”. ~sarc

Violence is a characteristic of humans and some animals, Mr. pResident. An inanimate object cannot choose to be violent.

I think better results would be achieved in stemming the tide of criminal violence committed by blacks against whomever.

Yep. If we just had single-payer health care, Trayvon would be alive today.

If only gay marriage had been legal 10 years ago, this wouldn’t have happened.

If we had higher taxes, blah blah blah blah.

This was a huge victory for the American people, and a huge loss for the Fairy King.

nobama should be presenting Zimmerman with the Medal of Freedom...instead, we get this pap about gun violence. Sheesh! Why doesn’t nobama, the obviously all-knowing”, just turn him self in and spend the rest of his worthless existence in prison.

“That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.”

What exactly are we honoring?

I’ll honor Trayvon Martin after I’ve gotten around to honoring Charles Manson.

Obama would not want to hold his breath awaiting either honoring.

What if Zimmerman had defended himself with a knife instead of a Gun? Son of 0bama would be just as dead and America would still be divided because of race baiters like 0bama.

A nation 0of laws???? Since when.

Obama only obeys the ones he wants to, and he makes up others to suit himself.

If this were a nation of laws we would have a strong Legislative Brach instead of the pack of Republican and Democrats pussies we have now.

It wasn’t the police. Check the facts.
