I've tried to get my thoughts together about this Martin trial. I just don't understand how u can kill a child and go home. Sad day

Hoping the same outrage & energy for young blacks being killed by guns is also directed to places like Chicago. #TrayvonMartin

These laws clearly need 2be changed. This is why ALL votes r important not just the presidents. #TrayvonMartin That could b my son.

Lets hope this doesn't lead to the deaths of more black children. How u respond is most important right now. #TrayvonMartin

Some act like America is colorblind. The reality is its NOT. My son also looks like Trayvon & we also have a home in FLA. #TravonMartin

Dont know what the appropriate punishment is but this sets an ugly precedence. Gotta feeling were gonna see more cases like this. #profiling

Living in a world where you fight dogs; you could lose everything (Mike Vick).. If you kill a black man you're not guilty! #INjusticeSystem

I hope people have enough #respect for the system to let it be and not cause unneeded violence #ZimmermanTrial

Think I'll go pick a fight and get my ass kicked then pull my gun and kill somebody and see if I can get away... http://t.co/aegjF7feYI
