The murder of Trayvon Martin and the freeing of the criminal who committed it has become a rallying point for all who cry out against injustice.  We are witnessing the beginning of a powerful spontaneous movement that is challenging the confusion of ‘respect for law’ by demanding justice.  This is happening at the historical moment when electronic production is replacing jobs and destroying our society.  The gap between law and justice is where we must educate ourselves to form a vision of a new society with common ownership of the means of life, which will end forever the freedom to murder of our children.
