Keeping this story "hot" in the minds of the public may be the biggest mistake that liberals make this year.
This is really funny. "Accountability pressures"? That is, concern about doing the job that you are paid to do? This is in the back of your mind? Lurking?
Most professionals keep the purpose of their job (as defined by the people who hire them) front and center at all times.
Let's make a teachable moment about several pertinant points:
The inalienable right to life includes self-defense...
Our 2nd Amendment rights-- including local firearms permits & CCW...
Stand-Your-ground / Castle Doctrine...
********
Morality play: "Crime Doesn't Pay"
... by explaining the finer points of the law:
Verbal intimidation or threats of bodily harm or death (without or without a weapon) constitute the crime of ASSAULT (in varying degrees of punitive severity)...
Actually touching, forcibly restraining, striking, beating, or using any implement as an offensive weapon against another person constitutes the crime of BATTERY (in varying degrees of punitive severity)
Taking someone else's personal property by force or threats/intimidation without the owner's permission constitutes the crime of THEFT
Forcibly entering the residence or property of another person without their permission, with criminal intent of theft of property or harm to residents/ occupants constitutes the crime of BREAKING AND ENTERING... and/or CRIMINAL TRESPASS
All of the above-listed crimes make the perpetrator SUBJECT TO LAWFUL ARREST, prosecution, and if found guilty--incarceration, fines and restitution.
In most circumstances--
Acting as perpetrator of the above crimes (in most circumstances) LAWFULLY EMPOWERS the "victim(s)" of the above-listed crimes ---
... to CONFRONT the perps -- and...
...To STOP THEM from committing the contemplated criminal acts--
...including the FORCEFUL DEFENSE of their life and limbs from grave harm to their own person and others also in danger by the same criminal act(s)
These act(s) of self-defense against an active perpetrator include the use of DEADLY FORCE!

It's time for recess....
George Zimmerman *was* checked for injuries and was found to have one or more that were consistent with the account he gave.And Travon Martin's reputation was,it would appear,far less pristine than Tom Robinson's almost certainly was.
There,boys and girls,is a bit of comparison and contrasting.
I am teaching about the 1700s in my World History class- I fail to see what this has to with it, therefore, I’m not going to touch it.
Moms, Dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles - talk with your children about the value of the right to self defense today! Also show them how the demonrats use race hate’s division for power and compare the mob calls for Zimmerman’s life to when the KKK ran the justice system in the South.
Yes students, it is not in your best interest to act like punks, and beat on people, especially armed people. Let this be a lesson. Leave people alone. Be polite, and avoid the trash culture of hip hop and leftest militants. It may save your life someday.
What they really meant by that sentence is:
But even if there is no clear curricular connection, isn’t there room in a year or semester-long curriculum to spend at least 30 minutes talking with students about events that are being hotly discussed outside the school, as long as those events can be propagandized to support a left-wing extremist agenda?
