The Obama administration has even moved forward and opened up an investigation via the United States Justice Department. President Obama expressed his own sentiments saying:
"When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids. I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative to investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together – federal, state and local – to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened."
President Obama isn't the only celebrity that has been outspoken, NY Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire has been vocal as well telling reporters:
“That’s not too far from where I grew up, maybe a half hour away. It’s a tough situation. You want to have positive community leaders. We need community watch-leaders. But we need to set better examples, especially if you’re a community watch-leader. You have to set a better example than what he did."
