Who could have been me? Zimmerman?

Speaking at the White House on Friday, President Obama addressed the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial for the killing of Trayvon Martin for the first time since 2012, when he declared that if he had a son, he’d look like Martin. This time, Obama said, “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.”

Obama added that he had experienced racial profiling personally: "There are very few African-American men who haven't had the experience of being followed in a department store — that includes me."

Good grief, he needs (Obama) to zip it.

President Obama is an expert at exploiting any tragedy for political purposes. In this case: Gun control and the Stand Your Ground law.

some wish it had. . . with that being said I dont wish that at all. But he should be tried and sent to jail. And for the record, that may have been obama 35 years ago. People do grow up. But obviously, Obama didnt challenge and then beat up, someone for following him.

You'll note that he said absolutely nothing about Zimmerman except to imply that he was at fault. He stated that he had sympathy for Trayvon's parents and family, but said nothing about an innocent man's life who he helped to ruin.

Thats a good point matt, because even though the jury found zimmerman innocent-hes now going to have to watch his back for the rest of his life, because half the nation wants him dead.

Hasn't Obama just articulated what millions of black Americans are thinking?

Thats a good point matt, because even though the jury found zimmerman innocent-hes now going to have to watch his back for the rest of his life, because half the nation wants him dead.

He did mention that the Jury had made it's ruling and that was the way it is, but he never asked anyone to respect the law and he sounded almost like he was in disagreement with the ruling because now he wants to Nationalize how we deal with these issues. That was his whole point. The outcome was not what he and the left wanted because it upheld the rule of law. He doesn't care about the rule of law he wants a different outcome despite the facts. Therefore, let's nationalize the issue and train the local authorities to think like the Left does, even though it is totally opposed to what the rule of law and even common sense states.

 

The problem isn't that Trayvon violated the rule of law and that Zimmerman had a right to self defense. The problem is that half us aren't thinking right, according to the Left. He implied it in the statement that about Trayvon standing his ground which has nothing to do with the case. It was a simple act of self defense, but as anyone who has children that are in school like I do will tell you, That's not what the Left is about. You're supposed to wait for the authorities to defend you even if you die. My children are told that no matter what happens they are not allowed to defend themselves in school. I've actually had a son get into trouble over this issue in MD public schools. It is the Leftist agenda. Centralize every thing and get every one to quit thinking critically, we're too dumb for that and ageless and timeless rules no longer matter, the Government will tell you what to think, how to act, and also protect you, unless you are an unborn child that is.
