Closing the Gap Between Justice and Just Us

Npr.pr reported that George Zimmerman, “who says he killed unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin in self defense, has been arrested and will face a charge of second-degree murder” according to State Attorney Angela Corey, the special prosecutor investigating Martin’s death.

In the words of civil rights leader Al Sharpton who spoke on behalf of Trayvon’s parents, WE need to “remain peaceful as the investigation continues”. Sharpton further stated that “we are NOT in the business of revenge. We are in the business of justice. We must make the justice system work.” According to Trayvon’s parents : “All we wanted was an arrest – nothing more, nothing less.”

As we let justice run its course in the Trayvon Martin case, WE can focus on joining the BRADY CAMPAIGN which “opposes state laws or a national law pushed by the gun lobby to force law enforcement to allow virtually anyone to carry loaded hidden handguns in public”.
