More “tolerance” from supporters of Trayvon Martin.
This episode comes from Falcons’ wide receiver Roddy White, who issued a tweet saying jurors in the Zimmerman case should go home and kill themselves because they followed the letter of the law and acquitted George Zimmerman.
“All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid,” he tweeted.
He followed that up about a half hour later with this:
It’s crazy how people on twitter want me to get in trouble for a tweet that they are retweeting because they want something to happen thanks

On Sunday, he issued an apology:
I understand my tweet last nite was extreme. I never meant for the people to do that. I was shocked and upset about the verdict. I am sorry.

Let’s be honest — there’s some who won’t be happy unless Zimmerman is dragged into the street, shot, drawn and quartered and beheaded. Tweets like White’s only add fuel to the fire.
