Protest at Love Park Philly (Trayvon Martin)
Mayor Nutter,  was among those who expressed disappointment in George Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin.
     "A young black man is dead without any real explanation," Nutter said in a statement. "George Zimmerman took an innocent life. Trayvon Martin, who at trial was made to appear threatening when all he had was a bag of Skittles and an iced tea, should not have died at Zimmerman's hands, and I believe the jury should have exacted a penalty." That's a great point he made. The jury should have issued some type of penalty. 
A statue of former Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo in front of the Municipal Services Building on John F. Kennedy Boulevard across from City Hall was decorated with signs protesting the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
     So  were do we go from here.  Do we PROTEST hold demonstrations, what good is that going to do.  Who's listening other than other black folks.  The people we really want to reach out to aren't listening.  Some people say let's march. You'll march to a location of the ***** choosing, speak for as long as there choosing. Basically the begging asking for justice is getting old.  What can we really do to make a change.  Ask yourself that.
