Zimmerman案以 Zimmerman正當防衛定論,當庭無罪釋放。美國各大城市華盛頓、芝加哥、舊金山、亞特蘭大、奧克蘭、洛杉磯等城市均爆發示威。
總統發言:
「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.」
就我個人看來,通篇有煽風點火併乘機偷梁換柱之嫌疑。
「But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. 」 你的意思是否是,martin死的冤,zimerman只是逃脫了法律制裁而已。既然我們是法制社會,陪審團已經裁定,咱們也只好認了。"gun violence"?? 法院既然裁定Zimmerman正當防衛,乃是Martin施暴在先,Zimmerman擁有美國的第二修正案賦予公民自衛的神聖權力。哪裡來的"gun violence",警察依法開槍,美軍和塔利班作戰,難道也有"gun violence"。「That』s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.」 那就更是莫名其妙,既然是Zimmerman正當防衛,那法庭也就肯定Martin當時的行為是不法侵害,事實上也是他把zimerman打到在地,並把他的頭往馬路牙子上撞。既然是犯罪行為,何來」 honor「,難道是死者為大,還是其的膚色享有特權。如果真是如某些人所言,」種族主義和不公」已經污染美國空氣的,那麼請問你如何能當選並連任美國總統?
奧八馬別忘了你不單單是Martin的總統,也是Zimmerman的總統,更是在北卡被四個黑人當街虐殺劉先生的總統!
