Marking the 20th anniversary of a deadly riot that had been engulfed in Los Angeles following the 1992 Rodney King case with civil rights activist Al sharpton and Trayvon Martin's parents that they are urging events of peace directed toward civil rights movement. Sharpton had reported to speak at Yahoo News before he had talked to a church on Thursday night. "Twenty years ago I came out here after that protest after the verdict and tried to discourage the violence, and 20 years later now I'm here with Trayvon's parents and we're saying we don't want violence," Sharpton had commented at Yahoo News interview. After the occurence of four white police officers were acquitted in a record beating on April 29 with Rodney King, which the city exploded into one of the deadliest riots in American History, which had been left withover 50 people dead and causing a record damage cost of $1 billlion dollars in property damage. Sharpton is now hosting a show on MSNBC and had said that much change since then, and he does not expect a racial charge in a debate over Martin's shooting to already end in a violent manner to Zimmerman who is Hispanic making it acquitted. "I think even though people are angry and as concerned as I am, we don't feel like we have no options," Sharpton mentioned. Sharpton had also mentioned that "Unlike [with] Rodney King, there's defined leadership in Trayvon Martin's case who have said from the beginning we cannot have violence.". Zimmerman had been a neighborhood watch captain in a gated middle-class community insanford, Florida and had shot an unarmed 17-year-old holding a bag of skittles after calling the cops saying that he had done it in self defense with suspicion. Zimmerman had said that he shot him in self defence even though Trayvon should not even be in a gated community. Zimmerman's defender had said he suspected martin of being suspicious because he had been in a string of robberies that had occured in their neighborhood. (A recent quote from the black neighborhood defender himself for finding Martin suspicious because suspects in previous robberies were young black men. She declined to be named because she feared retaliation.) "If Trayvon Martin had not been black then they would have had taken his killing a lot more seriously at the police station," he says. "If the police had arrested Zimmerman that night there would not be a Trayvon Martin case or movement...Does it mean he's guilty? No. But it does mean that he should have to go in front of a court of law and not be acquitted in the back of a police station.". In my opinion Zimmerman should be arrested 25 to life because everyone is making a big deal out of it, capture one to save many.

Anders Brievik Trial
Anders Behring Brievik, the notorious mass murderer who claims responsibility for the 77 deaths in twin terrorist attacks in July 2011 is currently on trial in Norway for his crimes. Anders is responsible for a road side bomb infront of the Norweigian parliament building that killed 8 people and injured dozens more. Anders is also responsible for the shooting on Utoya island. A Youth group movement was on the island in the summer of 2011. Anders, dressed like a police officer took a boat to the island and using a Ruger mini rifle proceeded to hunt down and kill 69 children, young teens and several adults. He would approach people who heard gunshots and claim to be a police officer to help and once he earned their trust he would kill them. It took 90 minutes for SWAT to respond to the scene where Anders surrendered without fight. Almost a year later Anders is now on trial for the crimes.In an emotional day of trial, he recollects the voices in his head telling him to not do this. Anders also explains how he methodically executed people of the Youth Labor movement. By the end of the trial it is expected that anders will receive the maximum sentence in Norway of 21 years- because the country does not carry life in prison laws or death penalties. Anders tried to plead insanity but after psychological testing it was found he was sane and fit for trial and punishment.
Anders is a Christain who had massive fears about Norway hiding a muslim invasion and he decided to take the law into his own hands and kill the "muslims" and also decided he was going to try and decapitate the former 2008 Norweigian Prime Minister on Utoya island as a message to everyone in the Norweigian Government. Anders also had plans to destroy two more buildings with car bombings. He wanted to attack the Norway government headquarters, and also attack another youth headquarters. Both attempts failed, Anders stated if he was to have succesfully blown up both buildings he would not have went to the island and killed all the innocent people. But because the plan had failed he said he had to "make a point" and take to the island and kill everyone. Anders also stated if norwegian media had not blocked out images of muslim attacks in local areas just for the sake of re-electing the prime minister he would not have contemplated as much destruction.
