The trouble with Florida's 'stand your ground' law

[Timothy]

Considering the latent genealogy, the Presidents son could look like Edgar or Johnny Winter as well!

He should have kept his comments to himself!

Just so long as he didn't look like Jonathan Winter. 

[Solus]

Race of anyone involved should have no bearing on the determination of if a crime has been committed or not and surely who's son a victim might look like is a sublime example of of stupidly injecting racial bias into the legal system.

We will never achieve equality as long as  (PC) society proscribes different treatment of any individuals.  It is worse when the law does.

Your right Solus, this is turning into a cluster****, as the recently stepped down Chief of Police, could have quieted the masses by doing one of two things:

Arresting Zimmerman, having him bond out, and day in court.

or

A press conference, stating "we have evidence that Zimmerman was assaulted (facial injuries, and grass stains on his back), and it is under investigation.

The Sanford PD, interviewed the witness and made their determination not to charge Zimmerman. Right or wrong the bungling of PR and allowing it to escalate would have been better thwarted with some decent police statements, and decisive investigation.

OBTW, the "New" Black Panthers, have put a bounty on Zimmerman. Dead or Alive.....This too goes with no consequences....

We all know how Eric Holder, turns a blind eye to the Black Panthers....

So peaceful, and tolerant....

Am I the only one who thinks the New Black Panther Party and the KKK are little more than the two sides of a single coin?

No but, which side is heads and which tails?  Identical agendas!

I would say they are both tails if you get my drift.

However, I tend to find my self going back to the double standard or as it is often referred to - Reverse Discrimination.  KKK is bad because it is a white organization, but the Black Panthers must be given a hearing because they are the poor oppressed minority.  This double standard can be found in all areas of our society.

For as long as I can remember!

Funny, I thought Obama was supposed to be the POST-racial president.

Good, that type of drama queen tactics need to go.....

Although at times I wouldn't mind a bit of this among Congress critters.
