Tragic Death in Florida

Fight broke out, one dead, one injured

Man got a trial, the jury was unanimous, Not guilty

Most disagree, Many protest, some want him dead

No one's upset about these.

Tragic Deaths in Chicago

Men on trial, jury is unanimous, Guilty

Tragic Deaths in Newark

Men on trial, jury is unanimous, Guilty

Tragic Deaths in Watts

Men on trial, jury is unanimous, Guilty

Tragic Deaths in Detroit

Men on trial, jury is unanimous, Guilty
