It was a terrible thing.

Does it apply here?

Were any participants from Mississippi?
Were any members of the KKK?
Were civil rights violated?

The FBI’s investigation has turned up any evidence of racism in this event despite their best efforts and extensive interviews. The friend on the phone indicated she suggested to TM that Z might be following him because he was gay, but surely Z wasn’t attacked for that was he? What do you know that they don’t know? Tell us so we can pass it on to our Attorney General. He’s looking for an excuse to prosecute.

David for less prejudice
less hatred
fewer assumptions

So does the Attorney General of the United States.
In fact he seems to want all right to self-defense removed from law.

That would be the case here since SYG wasn’t used.
Z claimed self-defense, supported by the fact the physical evidence all supports the claim Z was attacked and was in the process of having his head smashed into concrete when Z killed the child.

It would be good if these protesters spelled out exactly what they would want it changed to become.

Maybe they have a better idea.
They could tell us and we’ll listen and call our representatives.

AND
“the 2013 Legislature refused to hear any bills that would have changed “stand your ground.””

Talking to the governor is nice but the legislature makes the laws. I hope their high schools and colleges are teaching civics. If so, I have to assume they are wanting to be seen rather than be effective.

AND
“While Zimmerman ultimately was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, a six-member jury Saturday found him not guilty.”

Which means the jury believed evidence didn’t support the charge.
This is especially so when we consider the physical evidence indicates the child attacked Z, was beating Z’s head into the concrete and had no marks on his body other than skinned knuckles and a hole through the heart.

AND
“I had a friend killed about a month ago in Orlando. Still no arrest. Still no nothing.”

One possible explanation is that nobody who knew what happened was willing to snitch on a brother.

David for truth, justice and ??

MOVE ON!!!

I’m with 429SCJ – Gov. Scott is not a choir director. Go back home to your own state and protest there.

Where were you Mr. Wiggins, were you at your people’ protest for Miss McCormick? Put thy own house in order first!

Let us remember slain Civil Rights workers James Cheney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner whom were murdered by the Ku Klux Clan in Neshoba County Mississippi on June 21, 1964.

Americans must embrace multiculturalism or the nation will fall.

If these folks would admit the truth, race baiters like Sharpton, Jackson and obama would not make a living stirring up hatred.

For those who are saying justice was not properly meted out, ask yourselves, “If the roles were reversed and Zimmerman had been the (now deceased) stranger, would I want Martin jailed?” Whatever your answer is, remember, you can fool yourself, but God knows whether it’s true or not.

And on that note, where are Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et al., regarding Melinda McCormick, who was killed by three people, one of whom openly stated “that he hated white people?” I said it before, and I will say it again – that DEFINIETLY sounds like a hate crime to me!

If people have a problem with stand your ground, then they should request a special referendum through their district representatives.

After the will of the people of Florida is determined, then you can like it or leave it, if you don’t like it.

As far as outsiders go, we do not go to other people’s state telling them how to live. Who are they to come here and dictate. Don’t like Florida, then hit the road Jack.
