The Colorado Democratic legislator who once suggested “ballpoint pens” were reasonable alternatives to handguns for self-defense wrote on Facebook that “cold fingers of fear grasped at my throat” in the wake of the George Zimmerman trial when his 15-year-old son asked if it was OK to play cops-and-robbers outside with toy Nerf guns.
“With a dry mouth and wet eyes, I angrily told him that he could not go outside and play a simple childhood game,” state Rep. Jessie Ulibarri wrote in a message he later promoted on the liberal blog ColoradoPols.
Ulibarri, who is Hispanic, was afraid his son would be profiled because of his dark skin.

It’s an embarrassment that he was elected in my district.
Gotta start a recall.
What is his 15 year old son doing playing with toy Nerf guns anyway???
It is not only the 15 year old asking to go out, but the extreme emotional crisis that the question caused. Of course, if the 15 year old asked permission to go to some child molestor’s house, he would be writing paragraphs about how proud he was.
He’ll take a pen to a gunfight!
When I was 15 I had a Rock Band. There’s these things called “Girls”.
What a crock! The idiot manufactured the whole thing. He studied at the Lytton Bulware school of writing “cold fingers of fear gripped my throat”....crap! Why isn’t his 15 year old son on the phone with a 14 year old girl instead of wanting to play cops and robbers?
What a pathetic little sissy. I purchased my first handgun with my own money when I was 14.
colorado democrat is free to resign and leave the country.
I’m just trying to figure out how douglas county can annex enough land headed north to join the new state of North Colorado. I cant believe what the idiots have done to my once great western state.....
I dont want to move to Fort Collins but may have to if the new state idea succeeds.
My stomach lurched and cold fingers of fear grasped at my throat when I imagined my dark son, dressed in a sweatshirt, running through the streets of our neighborhood. With a dry mouth and wet eyes, I angrily told him that he could not go outside and play a simple childhood game.
I hope he knows that I am not angry with him, but I'm infuriated with the world we're raising him in. I'm angry at myself for limiting my son and denying him his youth because I'm petrified of what may happen to him for LWB (living while brown). I'm angry that black and brown boys are always seen as a threat, and never the joyful kids I know them to be.
The verdict in the Trayvon Martin case has caused so much pain for so many, and our family grieves tonight. We mourn not just Trayvon and his family, but for the loss of innocence and freedom every brown and black kid endures with this verdict.'
Must have also been a dark and stormy night.
Even more alarming is the number of liberal hand-wringers that will agree with this obvious lie about the 15 year old "asking permission to go out and play cops and robbers with a nerf gun."
Coming soon to Colorado: Stand Your Nerf Law!
Uh, how come he didn’t support his hispanic brother in the case? I guess Zimmerman doesn’t SOUND hispanic and ulibarri probably thought he was Jewish and automatically started hating on him. What a didiots. He probably believes that hispanics are a race all their own too. If we want to go that route, my dutchness makes me a different race too. NOT!
"No human being is illegal"? No, not unless you enter MY country with no documentation.
These people look like they have a collective IQ of about 50.
ditch the nerf gun, get a 12 gauge. shoot some clays, get your driving permit, get a girl-friend, help daddy change his diaper.
Not these days,
no need to act civilized to try to attract a mate.
Ya got video games and internet porn - what else do you need?
His 15 year old son still plays cops and robbers?
