MSNBC host Al Sharpton called the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict "an atrocity," echoing the opinions of many who said Saturday's verdict devalued the lives of young black men.
"This is an atrocity," Sharpton said. "This is probably one of the worst situations I have ever seen."

Chicago: Where is the outrage for this kid who was beaten to death for NOT joining a gang?
July 11, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) --
A distraught Juanita Bonner and her relatives come to the place where
her nephew Darryl Green died. The 16- year old body was discovered a few
hours ago in the Englewood neighborhood.
"He never goes anywhere. It's just so shocking for this to happen to anyone," said Juanita Green Bonner, victim's aunt. His body was found behind a boarded up home in the 6500-block of South Damen in the West Englewood neighborhood.
"It's somebody's child. . .you know, just laying down on that ground, dead. You know, just another life gone," said Eola States, Englewood resident.
Green was found by officers face-down on a set of basement stairs of an abandoned building.
Although witnesses say there were no visible signs of trauma to the body, family members say police told them Darryl had been beaten to death. Investigators at the scene did not confirm any details.
Relatives say the Harper High School student stopped attending class and think he may have been targeted because of his refusal to join a gang. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=9169739
