Free country. Free for who?

There are some personalities in the news industry that are believed to be most trustworthy above others. 

Today, on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace in an interview with a senior Democrat stated, "Are they playing the race card?" 

Really?

Chris Wallace has been around long enough to know when laws have gone astray in the USA. I find it hard to believe he doesn't understand that a young, black man was gunned down in Florida for absolutely no reason at all except he was someone's idea of 'his duty' to stop burglary in a gated communities neighborhood.

This isn't playing any card. This is reminding people within a state how dangerous life has become for young, black men. It is to remind people about the laws responsible for Trayvon Martin's death. 

George Zimmerman was empowered to act on his own because of laws called, "Stand Your Ground" and "The Castle Doctrine." If those two laws were not ever passed by Florida State legislatures Trayvon Martin would be alive today.
