Strong reaction has erupted in New York and across the country after a jury found George Zimmerman not guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Protest rallies were held on Sunday in Union Square, among other places, as people from both sides spoke out.

The protest in Union Square started shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday, by 7:30 p.m. that rally had ended but another began around 9 p.m. in Times Square. The Times Square protest caused traffic on 7th Ave to shut down between 42nd and 47th Street, but shortly before 10 p.m. some demonstrators had started making their way towards Harlem, while others began to return to Union Square.

By 11 p.m. the crowd was moving north along Park Ave and had made its way into the area around 79th and Park. By the time the march reached the Upper East Side several protestors had been arrested. At 11:30 p.m. the march was moving north and had made it as high as 107th street near 2nd Ave.

Another protest is also planned for 7 p.m. Monday at Hunts Point Plaza in the Bronx.

People also took to Union Square Saturday night to protest the not guilty verdict, and by Sunday afternoon hundreds had gathered in Newark, NJ to protest Zimmerman’s acquittal as well, the Associated Press reported. Read more.

  1. Since they want to show that they only mean the law of the land. The government should deal the instigators and illegal protesters with an iron fist to the full extend of the law no compromise.

  2. If these people are protesting injustice, where were they when Lemerick Nelson was acquitted for killing Yankel Rosenblum?
