President Obama has angered conservatives most especially Fox
News with his latest statements on the controversial Zimmerman verdict. Obama
said he could have been Trayvon Martin 35 years ago. He said he too was
followed in stores because of his skin color. Obama questioned the outcome if
Trayvon had been white and had a gun that night. “If a white male teen would
have been involved in this scenario, both the outcome and the aftermath might
have been different,” Obama said. Obama also praised Martin’s parents for
handling the Zimmerman not guilty verdict with “great dignity”. Obama made the
statements during what the NY Post described as a surprise appearance Friday at
the White House.
He instructed the department of justice to investigate the Stand
Your Ground law that was part of the instructions given to the jury at the
start of the recent trial of the man who killed him. On Thursday, the U.S.
Department of Justice, headed by Attorney General Eric Holder, ordered the
Sanford, Florida police department not to return the gun used by George
Zimmerman to shoot Martin. The request indicates the DOJ is pressing ahead with
a probe into Zimmerman’s racial profiling of Martin. Additionally, there are rumors that Zimmerman planned to sell
the gun in a private auction.
