    Inattentive driving is the leading cause of death among teenagers of all races... two-to-one over caps getting busted. Where is the outrage? And I'm not being facetious.

    It is stupid to point out that the "post-racial" president should not be taking sides in a local issue?

    As I do not live in a stand your ground state....it is unlikely. I live in "Bullitt" county, a mile from the Knob Creek gun range....guns are everywhere, and owned by ....uh....what you might have heard about Kentucky.

    People stand their ground here by extension of mentality....it is in the DNA.

    “Corey was brought in to oversee the prosecution of Zimmerman after the controversy over his defense grew; in the case of Alexander, Corey vigorously argued against using the stand-your-ground law to justify shooting a violent husband. ‘If I can't have you, nobody going to have you," her estranged husband, Rico Gray, allegedly told Alexander, before the altercation during which he was shot at.’” http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/17/stand-your-ground-marissa-alexander

    Holy cow!

    “In a November 2010 deposition, Gray admitted he had told Alexander that ‘if she ever cheated on me I would kill her’ and, during the tussle, said: ‘If I can't have you, nobody can.’ He said that he was he ‘was going towards her’ when Alexander fired a shot that went ‘high’ and to his right. Gray said the gun was not pointed at him: ‘She just didn't want me to put my hands on her anymore, so she did what she feel like she have to do to make sure she wouldn't get hurt.’"

    In the deposition, Gray admitted to abusing ‘all five of his babies' mamas except one," and to hitting Alexander. A previous encounter had resulted in Alexander being hospitalized.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/17/stand-your-ground-marissa-alexander

    “It took 12 minutes for the jury to find her guilty.” (ibid)

    Holy cow!


    Zimmerman deserved to get off.

    Stand your ground wasn't an issue in this case. It was self defense. Since forensics proved Martin was sitting on top of Zimmerman lying on his back, hitting him, Zimmerman had absolutely NO escape route to retreat even if he wanted to. That's what made the shooting justified.

    Disappointed?

    All "viagra-ed" up for your "riots" and then your girlfriend left you with nothing but your "gun" in your hand?

    Feeling frustrated with that overwhelming desire to "stand your ground?"

    Good for you and good for your victims who are today peacefully joining against your brand of hatred.

    I was going to give this the most outrageously dumb post of the week award, but then I saw your next post.

    I guess the competition is going to be pretty strong this week!

    They got what they wanted - increased racial tension - more racial hatred, if you please. Verdict or not, riots or not, they accomplished the prime directive - stir up some hot summer race (*)(*)(*)(*) so blacks aren't tempted to forget that whites are an oppressive evil and the whole reason they live in poverty and violence and therefore the Democratic party and white liberals in general are still relevant to their victimhood. Making certain your minority voting blocks are properly outraged against The White Man's oppressive ways requires regular maintenance.

    I wouldn't even dignifying it by calling it media; how about calling it conservative hysteria?

    All media outlets have been discussing it. Suggesting otherwise is completely disingenuous.

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/12/zimmerman-verdict-police-prep/2511995/
    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57593649/zimmerman-protests-stay-mostly-calm-in-california/
    http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2013/07...ts-prepare-for-riots-after-zimmerman-verdict/
    http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/10/justice/florida-zimmerman-backlash

    and on and on and on. This is why police are on alert. Not because a vast right wing conspiracy... but because black people have a tendency to riot when things don't go their way.

    Only hateful libs call it manslaughter.

    Everyone else says "not guilty."

    Only those who condone manslaughter excuse it.

    I'll bet you thought the same way about the Emmit Till trial.
