Diversification or dilution
Concentrating unemployed and unemployable in one place hurts them.
Spread them out and let them be near people who work for livings within the confines of legality.
Even if it fails, they’ll be nearer things worth stealing.

I feel that President Obama’s efforts through the HUD office to integrate and diversify white neighborhoods will allow young people greater opportunity to intermingle and diversify. Diversification is the key to bringing the races together in harmony and creating a racially homogenous environment. This will certainly help reduce the possibility of another Trevon Martin tragedy.

People need to reach out to each other in a spirit of love and equality. Shalom.

I support stand your ground law ,who wants to be a sitting duck for all these crimes breaking in houses robbing at gun point etc. ? lets not forget the poor girl that was beat and set on fire with the intent to rob her of her debit card …killing is wrong no matter what your race is just for the record the girl was white and the people that killed her was black and they also made a comment they hated white people but I guess that’s okay, as for Zimmerman he should have left Travon alone and the child would still be alive today my heart goes out to his mother and family over a senseless crime…it has nothing to with Florida or the law get real …just saying

In response to the executive comments on the news about door locks clicking. Yes we lock our doors!

We also lock the new front door that we recently had to have installed, because the three people who attempted to break down the old door cracked it, attempting to break it down.

Before I sent them fleeing for their worthless lives.

Where it not for the carpet, I would have waited for them to come through.

EXPLAINING:
”Please explain to me why this is a racial issue?”

Because many look at Trayvon Martin and see a member of their own race or of some other race.
They then identify either with him or with the one who killed him.
And like so often happens here, if the matter concerns a family member, they give that one a break — no matter what the circumstances; if it concerns an outsider, they assume the worst — no matter what the circumstances.

David for simple explanations

Please explain to me me why this is a racial issue? George Zimmerman is Hispanic, and did not call into account the “stand your ground ” law. I think it is a shame that one person died and another one’s life is now at the center of controversy, but I think the jury has made their decision and any distortion of the facts by the opponents of the law and by those who are calling this a racial killing are not showing any respect for Travon or for our justice system.

“STORY OF THE WEEK: Protesters camped out in the Capitol after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The protesters want a special legislative session on the “stand your ground” law, but Gov. Rick Scott does not plan to call such a session.”

even though that law was not used at all during the trial
