In a certain World we live in: George Zimmerman Walks free..

Unknown Sunday, July 14, 2013

Celebrities,human rights personalities,Lawyers and people around the world have all had a thought or two after policeman George Zimmerman was pronounced not Guilty after killing a young unarmed Trayvon Martin.

  The verdict on the case has bitterly divided the World, after the jury took more than 16 hours and 20 minutes over two days to reach their conclusion.


They unanimously decided the neighborhood watch volunteer and would-be cop justifiably killed the unarmed teen because he believed his life was threatened on that February night in Florida last year.

Despair: Supporters of Trayvon Martin say the verdict is a slap in the face for the American people

The US government has however released a statmenent on the Ruling see below..

“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.”
