OBAMA RESPONDS TO ZIMMERMAN VERDICT: ‘STEM THE TIDE OF GUN VIOLENCE’–FOR TRAYVON
President Barack Obama issued a long-awaited response Sunday afternoon to the acquittal of George Zimmerman Saturday evening, reminding Americans to temper “passions,” and that “we are a nation of laws and the jury has spoken.”
He added that Americans should “honor” the life of Trayvon Martin by committing to “stem the tide of gun violence,” and “ask ourselves if we are doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion in our communities.”
this is code for: “the way to honor the martyr Trayvon is to do all we can to rid ourselves of self-protection laws”
This court case will be leveraged to further limit and eventually abolish individual rights of self-protection. States will be pressured to reconsider make my day and stand your ground laws. While tempers are high, watch for more astro-turf protests against the 2nd Amendment. Knee-jerk reactions are a poor means to implement law…

Back in December, Zimmerman sued NBC Universal Media for defamation over the botched editing, which depicted him as a hardened racial profiler.
Jason Riley: Race, Politics and the Zimmerman Trial
Any candid debate on race and criminality in this country would have to start with the fact that blacks commit an astoundingly disproportionate number of crimes. African-Americans constitute about 13% of the population, yet between 1976 and 2005 blacks committed more than half of all murders in the U.S. The black arrest rate for most offenses—including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes—is typically two to three times their representation in the population.

Did a Little-Known Division of the DOJ Really Organize Trayvon Martin Protests and ‘Foment Unrest’?
A report circulating today and gaining attention asserts that the group – identified as the Community Relations Service (CRS) – “actively worked to foment unrest, spending thousands of taxpayer dollars on travel and hotel rooms to train protestors throughout Florida.
This week I interviewed former law enforcement officer, best selling author and talk show host, Carl Gallups on the Zimmerman case, verdict and response. He stated he had served in law enforcement in Florida and knew their law well. He said it was illegal in Florida (no doubt most states) to incite a riot of any kind.
