He’s 1/4 black, but they’ll slit their own wrists before you hear that from them.

Myers, a former police chief from Colorado Springs, took the post Friday.

What a moron!

I mean, who, having lived in the Springs, would want to live in a plastic dump like Sanford, FL? I do hope they gave the man a significant raise.

Those who ought to take “a good hard look” are those well meaning people that want to be of help and be on the darn neighborhood watch! Look what can happen.

A “bad outcome” is evidently any politically incorrect outcome.

“Let’s not kill the concept because of one bad, really bad outcome.”

If only this political tool was referencing Zimmerman’s unwarranted arrest and the inflated charges filed.

The Neighborhood Watch program has the potential of breaking the back of the illegal drug industry. With more eyes on the ground, the robbers and peddlers are busted. The Travon Martin case is an excuse to go after Neighborhood Watch.

"Let's not kill the concept because of one bad, really bad outcome."

Did the trial aready take place or did Mr. Zimmerman plead guilty while I was napping? If not, what the hell is this lamebrain talking about? Sounds like he has already decided that Trayvon Martin's death was a murder and that Mr. Zimmerman's claims of self-defense are so much rubbish. And this is the police chief of the town where Mr. Zimmerman lives and is on trial?

Lincoln had something to say about this:

"When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic]." -- August 24, 1855 - Letter to Joshua Speed

I think we all did. At least, we certainly should have.

What is the distinction between self defense, which they have been agitating against, and Community Watch?

It is that Community Watch is primarily about protecting those evil “property rights,” and self defense is about protecting one’s own life. Which one is more fundamental? Self defense.

If you can stand up and condemn someone for defending his own life, what can you not say in condemnation of people banding together to protect “mere” property?

Deprive someone of the right to self defense and the right to own property, and you have made him a slave.
”Reparations,” don’t you know . . .
Why does CNN, why does wire service journalism in general, propagandize in support of that ghastly idea? Because the fact that such terrible ideas have political traction is bad news. And journalism is the bad news business.

Funny. I think it’s a really, really good outcome.

They was a defenseless citizenry so their little gangsta punks can mug, rape and rob at will without any threat of harm. That’s really what this is all about.

And they used both last names! Clearly crossing the line of bias that’s best for society.
