'Million Hoodie March' Demands Arrest

Ahead of a grand jury convening to hear evidence the Trayvon Martin shooting, hundreds of people rallied in D.C. to demand an arrest in the case.

The so-called Million Hoodie March processed from Malcolm X Park to Freedom Plaza, where speakers from Howard University, the D.C. chapter of the NAACP, the National Urban League, and Students Against Mass Incarceration called for the arrest of neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.

This is the brink of anarchy. Demands by a crowd to carry out a sentence without due process. Like an old western lynching mob. Look....the grand jury will convene and justice will be served regardless of the outcome. Our criminal justice system isn't perfect but it is the best in the world. We operate under the rule of law - not mob rule. We all know that OJ was guilty but the system delivered it's verdict. It's over. Let the system work and quit acting like a bunch of animals.

A good time to nuke the city , Mr. Barry and his supporters.
There is no government left in D.C. anyway.

9:26 Just as Obama opened his big mouth and commented before all the facts came out in the incident involving the cop and the professor, so did he by commenting on the Martin/Zimmerman incident. If Obama felt it necessary to make any comment at all on this incident, it should have been one along the lines of, "It's a tragedy anytime there is a loss of life. We should not rush to judgment on this or any case until all the facts are learned and investigations are complete."

"well, i’m the head of the executive branch . and the attorney general reports to me. so i‘ve got to be careful about my statements to make sure that we’re not impairing any investigation that’s taking place right now. but obviously, this is a tragedy. i can only imagine what these parents are going through. and when i think about this boy, i think about my own kids. and you know, i think every parent in america should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this. and that everybody pulls together, federal, state and local, to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened. so i’m glad that not only is the justice department looking into it, i understand now that the governor of the state of florida has formed a task force to investigate what is taking place. to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen. and that means that we examine the laws and the context for what happened. as well as the specifics of the incident. but my main message is to the parents of trayvon martin. you know, if i had a son, he would look like trayvon. and, you know, i think they are right to expect that all of us as americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves and that we’re going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. all right."

9:38 please read Obama's full quote and note that this was in response to a direct question from the press clown.

9:42 sounds like you are drunk off the fox news kool aid if you and 9:38 can construe that quote as Obama somehow prejudging the situation.
