GA Senate Dem Fort Responds to Martin Trial
Equates decision with modern day lynching
Atlanta, Ga. - July 14, 2013 - Georgia State Sen. Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta), issued the following statement in the wake of the Trayvon Martin jury decision:

"Last night's jury decision in the Trayvon Martin murder case was nothing less than a modern day lynching. It is time for elected officials and activists to redouble our efforts to create a just and fair society in Georgia and around the country. We must revisit racial profiling and Stand Your Ground laws and we must fight for common sense gun safety laws."

Fort serves as the Whip for the Georgia Senate Democratic Caucus.

Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
