is demanding an end to Stand Your Ground laws.
This, of course, is a result of the shooting death of Treyvon Martin which is beginning to look more and more like a justifiable homicide. It has been over 40 days since the shooting and no charges have been filed yot.
With all of the pressure you would think that the authorities in Florida would have at least trumped up something to shut Fat Al Sharpton and the angry mob up.
This leads someone to believe that there is a lot more to this than a simple case of murder.
The Stand Your Ground laws are not there to simply permit murder on the streets. They are there to allow a person to simply go about his business and not have to turn tail and run if you are put in danger. You are simple allowed to protect yourself.
It also insures that you can not be sued for doing this. It prevents a person from being robbed. An example of this is that prior to the law being enacted a criminal could try and rob you. If he was repulesed with the use of force he could sue. This enabled a person to be robbed one way or the other, either robbed on the streets or robbed in court.
We have a similar thing here in Pennsylvania that is not quite as far reaching as the FLorida laws. It is called Castle Doctrine and it keeps the basic joe from beiing robbed in court if he used deadly force to protect his home.
I have no problem with that at all.
Prior to that you had to help a burglar load your flat screen into his truck or risk being sued. Now you can simple make him leave, either on foot or by being carried out. There is no reason whatsoever that a person should be living in fear in his own home. I wish they would expand this like they have done in Florida.
The Black Congressional Caucus will probably babble in and on how life is sacred and ought to be respected and in one sense they are right, but the respect for life has to start with the individual.
If a person has so little respect life that he will endanger the lives of others as well as his own by trying to commit a violent crime than why should anybody else have any respect for his useless little life?
As time passes and no charges are being drummed up on George Zimmerman it is looking more and more like George Zimmerman did not kill Treyvon Martin.
It is starting to look like Treyvon Martin killed himself by attacking an armed citizen.
If this finally does prove to be the case I would like to thank George Zimmerman for making the world a nicer place to live by eliminating one more aspiring member of the criminal lifestyle.
The Blcak Congressional Caucus is advised that there is a piece of mistletoe attached to my shirt tail that they can feel free to use.
