Realize the Dream speaker says “racist” Stand Your Ground laws “work to kill our young people”

Just a month after the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed black teenager Trayvon Martin, gun control activists continue to wage a war on Stand Your Ground laws in the United States — but perhaps none have condemned them so harshly as Sofia Campos, who on Saturday said the “racist” laws “work to kill our young people.”

Campos, who heads up the United We Dream network of youth-led immigrant organizations, spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial this weekend at the Realize the Dream March and Rally, part of the 50th anniversary March on Washington. As an undocumented immigrant, Campos spoke out against “racist” policies, including Stand Your Ground.

“Racist policies like Secure Communities, which works to break apart families, and just as much as racist policies like Stand Your Ground in Florida work to kill our young people today, the prison industrial complex and the detention center industrial complex are one and the same,” she told the crowd on the National Mall.

Really? What about shoot-whitey-in-the-back laws? Or beat-a-90-yr-old-whitey-to-death laws? Or shoot-a-whitey-baby laws?

I wish George Zimmerman had gotten to the killers of Shorty and Chris lane before they could act.

That’s how the system should work.

add : Today’s Black teen murder of : Fannie Gumbinger, 99; Javon Tyrek Rogers, 20 to the George Zimmerman list.

Screw this racist bitch. A 15-year-old thug can kill you just as dead as a 30-year old thug.

I want to go home to family at night, and I’ll kill any racist thug that tries to stop me from doing so.

Time to go Zimmerman on these black KKK racists.

You wear a racist black KKK hoodie and confront me or my family, don’t be surprised if I value my family more than you.

Detroit has a justifiable homicide rate some 2300% above the national average. Those are almost exclusively shootings involving blacks defending themselves from other blacks and this white boy ain’t about to take the right to defend themselves away from them.

Sweet Sofia: no one is insisting you must arm yourself and stand your ground.

If being raped/murdered is to your liking, feel free to cower and await your fate. Whatever floats your boat.

I guess the “dream” part of “United We Dream” is revising reality to suit one’s fantasies.

If we had a legitimate government, she'd have been arrested and deported.

Rick Ector is a great teacher of the racist roots of gun control in Detroit and in Michigan.



In 1926 Dr Ossian Sweet was confronted by a racist mob who wanted to force him out of a Detroit neighborhood. He stood his ground and one man ended up dead. Sweet was acquitted of murder and within 3 weeks the first bill showed up in the state legislature calling for local gun boards to decide who could own guns. Blacks were virtually always excluded.

Liars? Of course.

But that is irrelevant.

The next step in Obama's effort to disarm patriotic Americans is to make stand your ground a racial issue...and to have marches and even perhaps riots over this issue.

Obama is actually a good agitator now that he has the power of the Oval Office behind him.

If Obama can't directly confiscate weapons, he can make their use illegal. Use your weapon, go to prison.

If he can accomplish that, he has taken away a big part of the advantage of having a weapon.

The only ‘young people’ who would die as a result of stand your ground are thugs.

If you don’t want your young’uns dying from ‘stand your ground’, then don’t raise them to be thugs.

speaker says “racist” Stand Your Ground laws “work to kill our young people”

while preventing your young people from killing other people who are being assaulted by your young people.
