FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Obama also signaled the need for further the debate about Florida’s
Republican-backed and hugely permissive “Stand Your Ground” gun laws which
have seen the number “justifiable homicides” from self-defence shootings
almost triple since it was introduced in 2005.
Even as the President was speaking in the Rose Garden, protests were still
growing over the failure of police in Sanford, Florida, to arrest Mr
Zimmerman over Trayvon’s death last month.
In Miami, hundreds of schoolchildren walked out of classes in protest,
chanting “I am Trayvon Martin.” An online petition has now attracted nearly
1.5 million signatures.
Protesters say it was unacceptable for Mr Zimmerman to attack an unarmed
teenager he had been told by police not to follow.
In his remarks, Mr Obama appeared to suggest that “Stand Your Ground” should
now be reviewed, as he called for a thorough investigation into every aspect
of the case.
“I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is
absolutely imperative to investigate every aspect of this and that everybody
pulls together – federal, state and local – to figure out exactly how this
tragedy happened,” he said.
“I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does
something like this happen.
“And that means we examine the laws, the context for what happened, as well as
the specifics of the incident.”
Trayvon was killed nearly four weeks ago, as he returned from a grocery store
where he had bought a packet of sweets for his younger brother.
Mr Zimmerman had a history of calling police to his mainly-white gated
community, and when he dialled the emergency services he claimed that he had
seen a suspicious suspect who was “probably on drugs”.
Police told him not to follow the suspect, but Mr Zimmerman did not obey, and
a girlfriend who was on the phone to Trayvon at the time claims she heard
him being shoved to the ground.
Neighbours heard screams for help before a shot rang out.
The head of Sanford
police stood aside “temporarily” earlier this week amid
complaints that the investigation was flawed, as Trayvon’s phone records,
which would have led to his girlfriend, were not looked into.
Mr Zimmerman’s whereabouts is unknown. His father, who is white, has denied
that his son is racist, and says that Mr Zimmerman’s mother is Hispanic, and
so Mr Zimmerman is also of an ethnic minority background.
