Mass Media Confusion
 

Although I agree with those who say we don't need "Stand Your Ground"
statutes outside of your home, I don't understand the media attention
and activist groups (led by people like Al Sharpton) who are using
the Zimmerman trial to promote the elimination of SYG.

Zimmerman's defense was *not* based on SYG grounds. It was based on
self-defense. This was a purposeful and strategic decision by his
defense attorneys.

The reason he was acquitted by the jury was due to the stupidity of
the state's prosecution team of attorneys. *They* are the ones that
put into evidence all of Zimmerman's accounts of the events, thereby
allowing de facto testimony by Zimmerman without the ability to cross
examine him. The defense attorneys made good use of this blunder by
calling other witnesses to testify that gave credence to Zimmerman's
account of the events, raising sufficient reasonable doubt to generate
a "not guilty" verdict.

Typical of any unpopular decision or circumstance (to them) , the
liberal media and activist groups are totally misinforming the public
on the facts.

Had the five white women on the jury been black, the outcome probably
would have been different. Sanford has long been a racist town, and
sooner or later the names of the jurors will come out.

"Why are you so racist and bigoted", I say, while never expecting a
truthful answer.

The strange thing is black defendants have availed themselves of SYG
defenses at a higher rate than white people.

Holder, Sharpton and the rest seem to be ignorant of or simply ignore
that fact.



My guess is that "Holder, Sharpton and the rest" believe the Stand Your
Ground laws suck, no matter who is availing themselves of them. They
seem to be little more than laws that allow you to settle disputes on
the street with a gun.

"He slapped me, I was scared, so I shot him."

The SYG laws encourage bad behavior on the part of gunslingers.

It is all about gun control. Whatever advances the the actual control of guns in the USA is
what they seek. They could care less about who benefits from what, in the end the seek a
society that compliant with government edicts. Guns in the hands of ordinary people is a
challenge to their control.

Well Hopalong, what discourages bad behavior on the part of gunslingers?
And more importantly, what are YOU doing about it, besides running your
mouth?
You might pass along to your pals in washingtoon, that gun control will
do diddley squat to take guns out of the hands of your fellow gunslingers.

See above regarding ignorance.
