"You think if I shot some white kid walking down my 
street they'd say I was just standing my ground? I'd 
be in jail, we all know that. Actually, I'd probably be 
dead. But it seem like more of this is coming to light 
than they want. Zimmerman had a big ass gun. A 
gun meant to kill people. They got a whole system 
set up to protect this kind of shit. But a lot of shit has 
come out into the open they don't intend to be out 
in the open.  And people don't like it."
-A veteran in his 60s who has lived in Florida his whole life

"...Make APRIL 10 a DAY OF OUTRAGE! Seize the 
time, wherever and whenever there is a chance, to act 
with daring and creativity. And have all that feed into a 
movement that will not stop until the whole system 
that is responsible for the deaths of so many, here 
and around the world, is no more."  Read more at
