Trust me when I say these libtards are not after guns as they know thats a battle they can't win. What they can do is make the guns useless by puting absolute FEAR of the government into the minds of anyone bold enough to use one, even if used in clear defense of their life.

Stand your ground, Castle Doctrine, etc etc are laws that really should NOT be needed in the first place. They are laws demanding that the state/government follow the law. Our constitution confirms and protects our right to defend our lives with deadly force as do most of the state constitutions. The problem has been the prosecutors and the POLICE are ignoring these rights and arresting and prosecuting innocent people. Even if the innocent ultimately win in court their lives are destroyed in the process.

The Zimmerman case is a perfect example of why we need MORE stand your ground laws not less. These laws also need to be STRONGER worded with teeth against abuse of power as we see in this case.

In the end this prosecutor should be disbarred and the state held accountable for the prosecuting of an innocent man where there was no probable cause to even arrest him.

The time for Immunity for police and prosecutors is over. At one time in our nations history these offices of the state could be trusted and needed the protection of immunity. Now they are often more dangerous than the thugs from which they are supposed to protect us. We must continue to level the playing field.

Agreed, however, the problem with the Zimmerman case in my opinion is the lack of a paper trail explaining why they determined that prosecuting him at the time of the incident was inappropriate. From what has been publicly released the charge of second degree murder is excessive and a charge of manslaughter is debatable requiring more evidence than I currently have.

I worry that due to the MSM trying to declare him guilty in a one-sided public trial, we will see riots after Zimmerman is acquitted or released due to inability to find an unbiased jury.

“In the end this prosecutor should be disbarred and the state held accountable for the prosecuting of an innocent man where there was no probable cause to even arrest him.”

I sure agree with this!

The most telling part of the political speech thinly disguised as the announcement of GZ’s arrest was the statement “Let me emphasize that we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition”. She is in elected office, and she obviously bowed to public pressure. When in doubt, tell the BIG LIE! What a load of horseradish!
