    I was just making a statement in general.
    BUT:
    In the case of Zimmerman, if he can justify it under the Stand Your Ground law, he might, tragically, get off for having killed Martin.

    Goes to show you how fucked up that law is. If I lived in Florida and someone stepped on my foot, does that give me the right to shoot him? Or if I was in elementary school, and a classmate pushed, am I allowed to shoot him? That is how silly the whole Stamd Your Ground law is.

    The Stand your ground law is there to ensure that you can't get punished for killing someone who is actively attempting to kill you.

    No.
    In the first instance, it is neither threatening nor on purpose.
    In the second instance, you are in a school, which abides by so many curved laws that schools are practically seperate countries within the US.

    I don't stand by the Stand Your Ground Law as it is, but I support the idea behind it.

    The lesson from all of this, don't walk down a street with a bag of skittles in your pocket.

    I dont really care but lets see what our young people have to say about this:



    Like my father always used to say "A dead black man is a penny-" well oh fuck sorry.
    But in all seriousness yes he did say that once.

    No. The lesson learned is, if you are black, don't wear a hoody when its raining.

    How about never wearing a hoody? How about Obama make a presidential decree (or something like that) to ban all hoodies.

    I'm sure they'll find a way to blame it on Obama, they always do.

    Even when OBL died, they hardly praised him for authorizing the mission to kill him. Which is bigger than what you would think. Going into Pakistan, a country we had not invaded, only 50 miles from Islamabad. Highly risky, and if it wasn't OBL, we would be the laughing stock of the world. But to get back on topic, Gingrich says that Obamas comment that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon, was disgraceful.
