Excerpts:
"Zimmerman wasn't standing his ground, Zimmerman was chasing this young man and harassing him."
"This isn't about standing your ground, this guy (Zimmerman) hunted him (Trayvon Martin) down"
"They better move in fast on this case because a lot of people have acted in a shameful way."
"They (Police) say let him (Trayvon) go and he (Zimmerman) still chases after him, and you can hear him in the background yelling 'help" and they still don't arrest him?"
"Here a young man gets killed and the police don't arrest this murderer for anything?"
"This law is literally getting in the way of action being taken." Mika
"It's not the (Stand your ground) law, it's the (Sanford) Police Department down there it's the State Attorney's office down there".
"How is someone standing their ground against someone who is screaming for help?"~Mika
"They (Sanford Police Department) have known since February 26, that this young 17 year old man, Trayvon Martin, armed with nothing but ice tea skittles and a cell phone, minding his own business, walking through a neighborhood, was chased, hunted down, screaming for help, then shot to death, they have known this...and they have not arrested the man who they know very clearly wasn't standing his ground who killed him".
"If the facts are as they appear now, whoever is running the Police Department, whoever is running the State Attorney's office down there are not worthy of the public trust, have betrayed the public trust. They are unworthy of representing the people of Florida..
"It sounds like they (Sanford Police Department) were trying to cover some tracks"
"They drug test the dead 17 year old who had ice tea and skittles, and they don't drug test the person who has just killed another person"?
"Who are these people"?
"The State of Florida needs to act aggressively".
"They better not get away with it."
"It does have to do with race. If anybody watching this show either live or on the Internet, does not believe if an African American shot a 17 year old white boy walking through a neighborhood carrying ice tea and skittles, if they do not be believe there would have been an arraignment the next morning for the African American shooter, and the white boys family would be notified immediately, that an officer would not have driven to the white boys parents home, sat on their couch and consoled them because they just lost their 17 year old son...if you believe this case, and the handling of this case by the people in Florida has nothing to do with race, you are living in a fantasy world."
"The Justice Department and the Attorney General Pam Bodi in Florida need to do more than investigate the death, because it seem to be fairly obvious what happened, they need to investigate the (Sanford) Police department and the State Attorney's Office and see why the parents weren't notified immediately, and why this guy hasn't been arrested.
"You don't have to have an open and shut case, arrest the guy, throw him in jail, they got probable cause, they got a 9 mm, they got him chasing him down the street, they got the gun shot on the 911 tape, they have reason to lock this guy up this morning, they had it the night that it happened.
What Reverend Al Sharpton said all the damn way!
"I must say this has been the most inspiring morning I've had with Joe Scarborough"
You can see/hear the entire segment in context here, then compare and contrast it with Matt Laur's UNfair and UNbalanced interview of the grieving parents of Trayvon Martin, and the family attorney, on The Today Show.
