RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -

A large crowd gathered near the Federal Courthouse in Richmond as part of the "Justice for Trayvon" rallies happening all over the country.

Mayor Dwight Jones and several other pastors spoke out at Saturday's event. It's been one week since a jury rendered a not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.

City and community leaders took this opportunity to push for more peace in the streets.

Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones shared his views on Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law to the crowd.

"Stand your ground is something that doesn't exist in Virginia it exists in Florida because all of us know that something needs to be done about Stand Your Ground, because Trayvon Martin did not have any ground to stand on and when an individual is unarmed and approached and accosted by somebody who is armed and he wounds up dead something is not moral something is not right I don't care if it's legal, it's not right," said Jones.

This piece by Bill Whittle lays all the facts on the line for everyone that wants to see them, including the real background of Saint Treyvon.

There was a time when friends and families of thugs like Treyvon would have been ashamed - no more.

Dozens attend 'Rally for Trayvon' in Downtown Richmond

In other breaking news, dozens attended almost empty movie theater, dozens attended church youth car wash, and dozens ate at the Old Town Diner this morning.

Either these New School crowds aren't very big, or they printed the directions in cursive.

Perhaps if it was in cursive the gibberish would make more sense.

Looks more like a small Weight Watchers support gathering. Further evidence that Welfare food subsidies need to be cut back.

The death of Trayvon Martin in no way nullifies SELF DEFENSE LAWS or the GOD GIVEN RIGHT OF SELF DEFENSE. OUR BILL OF RIGHTS ARE NON NEGOTIABLE AND WE ARE PREPARED TO DEFEND THOSE GOD GIVEN RIGHTS.

“Dozens” in Richmond and Miami. Less than a thousand, IN HARLEM, WITH Jay Z and Beyonce.

The Trayvon movement has leaders but no followers. The blacks, above all, know who and what Trayvon was.
