My Daddy could get in your face with the best of them, when he retired at age 60 he had 42 years in various Army uniforms behind him.

I didn't always hear him then but I always hear him now.

...leaders of the National Bar Association (NBA), the African-American lawyers' group that sponsored the event in Miami at which Fulton spoke, surely know better. They nevertheless are throwing their support behind a campaign to repeal "stand your ground" laws...

Shall we assume African-American lawyers spend a lot of time and effort defending black thugs? Anything that weakens the victims or the victim's case would make that job easier. Destroying 'stand your ground' laws would do that - weaken the rights of the victim.

And since thugs are usually black - and victims are white and black - the job of the black lawyers becomes easier.

Next the National Bar Association will call for laws making it illegal for store owners to have security systems. Or for neighborhoods to have watch programs to protect themselves from thugs ... Or even better, laws that allow criminals to have juries composed of fellow black criminals - still incarcerated... NOW that would make the jobs of black lawyers much easier.

These folks are going creepy.
