This petition is in response to the Trayvon Martin's verdict. I do crime-watch for Marion County Sheriff's Office (mcso), and we are forbidden to take weapons on patrol

The Trayvon Martin case blatantly highlights the current loopholes that are present with current "Self-Defense" and "Stand Your Ground Laws". Whether using "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground" a person should not be able to pursue someone and claim "Self-Defense". A situation should be looked at entirely when a person is claiming "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground". Language must be included in our laws that guards against a person being able to pursue another person but then claim "Self-Defense" or "Stand Your Ground".

The Humane Society estimates a healthy pet loses its life about every 11 seconds. The after-hours holds by rescues that HCAS just cancelled allowed more pets' lives to be saved.

Marissa Alexander a mother of three was sentence to 20 years in jail by the state of Florida for firing a warning shot in her kitchen ceiling to keep her abusive husband from beating her. Despite the fact that Marissa has never been in any kind of trouble she sits in a Florida jail. Marissa cited the Stand Your Ground law as her defense but was still convicted, when she harmed No one. George Zimmerman walked free after killing and unarmed child Trayvon Martin and was found not guilty by a jury using the same Florida Stand Your Ground Law. I asked you is this fair, does justice allow Stand Your Ground to some and not to others? Please sign your name to this petition to be sent to Florida legislature to urge them to reopen this case and exonerate Marisa of this sentenced.

Miss Alexander fired a WARNING shot in the state of Florida in self defense to keep her abusive husband away from her, and was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years after 12 minutes of deliberation. Her right to use this defense and be found not guilty was violated because she was protecting herself from harm. Spousal abuse should never be tolerated on any level.

THE MARTIN FAMILY NEED OUR SUPPORT. SET ASIDE ALL THE DRAMA AND THE EXTRA BULL CRAP. AN INNOCENT CHILD HAS BEEN KILLED AND THE KILLER JAS BEEN SET FREE.. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THIS WAS YOUR CHILD...

A jury has acquitted George Zimmerman, but we are not done demanding justice for Trayvon Martin. Sign our petition to the Department of Justice today.

Due to the unjust verdict in the George Zimmerman trial, we will boycott the state of Florida for tourism, business and any products manufactured or sold there until the state legislature repeals the Stand Your Ground Law and changes the law for what is considered self defense so that an armed person killing an unarmed person cannot use self defense as a legal justification.

The fact that someone with a gun can murder an unarmed black kid and get away with it, is disturbing. We have regressed back to Jim Crow days...
