Last night on Jay Leno Obama weighed in once again on Trayvon Martin and inferred that we don’t have a system that works for everyone:
CBS DC – “Well, I think all of us were troubled by what happened and any of us who are parents can imagine the heartache that those parents went through,” Obama said during an interview with NBC’s “The Tonight Show.”
The president said he wasn’t a perfect kid and neither was Trayvon.
“You’re a teenager, especially a teenage boy, you’re going to mess up,” said Obama. “You won’t always have the best judgement. But what I think all of us agree to is that we should have a criminal justice system that’s fair, that’s just. “
“What we also believe in i is that people, everybody should be treated fairly and the system should work for everyone,” explained Obama.
…
“What I’m trying to do is just make sure that we have a conversation and that we’re all asking ourselves are there some things that we can do to foster better understanding and to make sure that we don’t have laws in place that encourage the kind of violent encounter that we saw there that resulted in tragedy,” said Obama.
