The press would not even identify the race of the shooter. Isn't it amazing how biased the press is.

How many times has this law actually helped other people from harm ? I don't know, but then again why would we? That' doesn't work in favor of the press or Congress.

Yes they tried to make it look racist. Imagine that! And he really does have injuries to his head! And now Chris Brown, Sen. democrat of Florida, wants to revise the law before Gov.Scott can appoint a team to look in to it? So, it is becoming apparent that we can not trust the main stream media. So what good are they? I can say the best reason for this web site is it reports only the facts. Thank you Sir, it is refreshing.The main stream media kick over a bucket of ---- , and now we deal with the panic they started. Since when does the media have the right to do that? So lets look at those who spread this . ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, .And many other liberal own news groups . Make's you ask? Can I trust any thing they say at all? Well I do not , If they report it , you might wish to get "the other side of the story" It seems that most of us can use the internet now. Read it for your self, before you judge.By the way, I only have public TV, but the way the news is presented is sicking. But you can believe that I read a lot.

The vidio of Mr. Zimmerman at the police statiion also shows signs of physical confrontation on the back of his head as well a grass trimmings on his jacket. Is it really so hard to believe Mr. Zimmerman actually felt threatened and was within his rights to defend himself? Afterall, the only defense put forward for Mr. Martin is that he was black. Please consider the consequenses the news media could bring about by misrepresenting facts to meet their agenda. I'm sorry for Mr. Martins' family in their loss, but consider Mr. Zimmerman and his familys' situation in this matter with false information being purposfully released to the public because they disagree with a law legally passed by a state legislature.

The Stand Your Ground Law is a good one. It allows you and me to protect ourselves. Whether Mr.. Zimmerman was within thiis law is the only question here. I, personally, will not give anyone an excuse to shoot me. I don't wrong anybody, I don't intimidate or insult anyone. I don't lay a hand on anyone. I will not have these things done to me. I am armed and will stand my ground. I don't see any problem with that. You should do the same. Remember, if guns are outlawed, then only the outlaws will have guns. Ask our friends in Canada how gun control is working for them. Why would a law be questioned? The Stand Your Ground Law is a good one. It allows you and me to protect ourselves. Whether Mr..

Every day that passes, people are more and more skeptical. I emailed our Attny. General's office and said as much. Are they afraid of revealing the truth? The investigation has been underway for more than 10 days. It's high time they told us their conclusions. @ 429 SCJ, Since you obviously were there, would you care to elaborate on your statement?

I look at the tiny nation of Israel. Many citizens carry automatic weapons and still, there is much violence. Perhaps having an armed citizenry is a bad idea. I look at the tiny nation of Israel.
