Obama on Zimmerman verdict: 'A jury has spoken'
NBC News ^ | July 14, 2013

Posted on 07/14/2013 12:16:40 PM PDT by maggief

President Barack Obama urged Americans to keep calm in the wake of Saturday's jury verdict finding George Zimmerman not guilty of charges associated with the controversial shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin.

"I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher," Obama said Sunday in a statement. "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."

"That’s a much better statement than I would have expected."

I wonder who wrote it.

Without the gun Zimmerman’s head would likely be in multiple pieces. This is Obama’s “solution”.

“Ummm, no. “A jury has spoken” rather than “THE jury has spoken.” Hussein has instructed Holder to bring Zimmerman up on federal charges.”

I immediately noticed the very carefully crafted choice of words used as well.

We’ll see federal charges of some sort before Friday. Also and effort to have the federal trial outside of Florida in an effort to get a Martin friendly jury.

DOJ has been working on federal charges all day.

Well, sure. I’m positive Obastard could live with a cracka getting iced. Much preferred to losing a brotha.

I think the only thing DOJ and Holder can charge GZ with is a civil rights violation. Considering the racial slurs thrown by TM during the event, that will be touger to sell to a jury than even manslaughter.

Why would a President of the United States even bother to comment on the outcome of a criminal trial in a small town in Florida?

He sure likes to look down that nose and talk down to the people. It’s always “We all need” to do some reflecting or whatever.

Make sure white folks don't have guns to protect themselves.

Eech year on Trayvon Day white folks will be asked to turn in a handgun or rifle to honor the slain hero's fight for gun control.

Because a “white hispanic” killed a black “child”. If he had been a “black hispanic”, the race baiters could have cared less. Here’s the other “white hispanic” talking about his brother’s life almost being ruined for defending himself from imminent death.

It has long been “cilly rights”

- Attacking a hispanic with a Jewish father may not float well with 14% and 78% of Americans that mostly voted for him twice.

"Notice he said “A jury”, not “The jury”."

I picked up on that immediately - I wish zero could give up being an asshole for just one day....just one. He is so petulant and smug.

Just wait until the jurors are audited and spied upon big time.
