The US president said:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or 
for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited 
strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions 
may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has 
spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection
 from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask 
ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion 
and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if 
we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too 
many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask 
ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future 
tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the
 way to honor Trayvon Martin.”</blockquote>
