Read his statement 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.”
