National Bar Association Demands Justice for Trayvon Martin

42. I don't know why you would conclude that

There are certainly a lot of people who have been vocal, but that in itself is hardly a "majority" of the tens of thousands of registered members here. Certainly just about everybody at DU feels at least disappointment in the result, but beyond that, I wouldn't be too quick to speak for "the majority". There are quite a few people here who are trying to be sensitive to those who have a greater need to vent right now. Please do not take silence to mean that everyone automatically agrees with everything that the most vocal people have been typing here.

Regarding the lawyers, I would point out that there were lawyers on both sides of the case. As a general rule, one can expect the ABA to support the ability to defend clients, and you will not hear them take sides on this particular case. The point is that the NBA is a an organization of black lawyers who feel a particular reason to speak up in solidarity with the black victim. I don't think anybody here should be surprised by that, and I think we can all respect that.
